Is it wrong to marry someone who is fifteen years older than you?

I am a 23 year old male and I fell in love with my sister-in-law's cousin who is also my cousin by marriage becasue her cousin is my sister-in-law, so she and I are already cousins by marriage, and she is 35 and I am 23 and I wan't to marry her. She looks younger than she is. W have been going out and magicly I feel in love and now I wan't to purpose to her. Is this wrong. I'm the groom and I'm 23 and she is 35. Is this wrong?
Additional Details
Actually she is 38 not 35.

no, it's not wrong to marry your cousin in law. I think if she feels the same as you, go for it. I know two sisters who married each other's brother in law. It was pretty neat.
So sure you can marry the cousin in law. She is not blood related, so it would be ok

No, why would it matter, if you love each other, then do it.

I don't believe it is wrong BUT don't be surprised if later on in the marriage you find you have different interests because of the age difference

Not necessarily wrong but certainly not something I would advise. You might be 23 but you wont really even start to truly grow up until you are 30 for a guy. You are of two totally different generations. Move on. Think 60 when you are 45.

No, it's not wrong. As long as you are both over 21, it's OK

There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. If she makes you happy and vice versa, you go for it and live a happy life.

The key is your happy. Age has NOTHING to do with it.

Do you mean you want to propose to her? If you really love her then it isn't wrong....but in all honesty I really think you are a bit young.

firstly, i don't think she qualifies as your cousin. secondly, as long as the age issue doesn't matter to the two of you, then it doesn't matter. thirdly, if you had to point out that she looks younger than her age, then you may be trying to justify things to yourself...think long and hard about why you feel the need to do that. good luck!

Well when your 38 she'll be 53.
So if your cool with that, then marry her!

Age is nothing, but you must have things in common.. which the age thing creates certain issues. The thing is that you are or think you are in love with a family member, even if it is a cousin. This is not normal. Try to find someone outside the family to fall in love with. So the answer is yes its all wrong.

I wouldn't be able to criticize you, my husband is 25 years older than I am.

It's not wrong, and since she is so much older, she'll likely die first and you can date someone else in your family!

There is nothing wrong with a summer/winter relationship when you're past 21 - however you have to look int the future - how is going to be when your 40, 50 years old will you still want to be with her?

Once you get to be a certain age, age is just a number, my husband who is now deiced was 38 years older than me. The time we had together were the best years of my life.

You are both adults. You are old enough to choose who you love. She is quite a bit older than you and you can discuss that between you.


john h
of course not.don't worry about the people who will say the man should be older then the woman.marry the woman and live a happy life


me :)
Your still young...are you sure this is what you want or just the pressure of getting married? If you really think your in love with her i mean go for it but immagine when your 60 and shes already 75..

marrying an older person is fine. And by marrying him you don't have to invite more people to christmas.

I say more power to you Bro.My first wife was 14 years older than me before she past away.A couple of years later I married a beautiful woman that was 11 years younger than myself.Ten years later we are still happy as can be and still act like newlyweds!Its not the age of the person that matters.Its the heart....

no it isn't wrong, but probably not a good idea.
the chances are pretty good it will be hard because of the two of you drifting apart as your priorities in life will change.


Ally
well if you love her and she loves you then go for it.i dont see any problem with that.

Nothing wrong with that. You are over 18.

No, it's not wrong. I just hope she won't feel like she's raising a son after a while. If she's a strong leader, she may make you feel like she's the mother. But if you like that, it's great. Sometimes guys just have to have a strong leader in the relationship so they don't fall by the wayside or something. They just need this kind of mothering. Whereas the woman may not enjoy this type of relationship after a while because after she starts her family, she may get tired of having to take care and mother a much older person, her husband. Then again it might just be ok if both of you are the real mature type and one doesn't try to outdo the other one in a lot of ways. Then this could be a wholesome relationship. But you just never know these days what could become a relationship like this. It will look a little strange down the road when you are both old and she's already for the wheelchair and the nursing home and you're living your life to the fullest and she can't because of her age and illnesses she's sure to have by then. I think you could possibly take one of your kids with you since they will be grown by then and have some fun. But in the end it will be all left up to you what you really want to do.

no it's not wrong, who cares. Do what ever you want.

You are not related at all. You can marry her.
