What do you think about a 40 year old and a 23 year old marrying?



    




Insert clever name here
I was 19 and my husband was 36 when we got married so I don't see an issue with it. My only concern would be if he ONLY seems to be interested in younger girls then it could mean trouble. In my case, my husband had never dated anyone more than 2-3 years younger than him and he had reservations about dating me at first but we had/have so much in common, our age difference is never an issue. As long as they are compatible and they love and respect each other, then I don't see any problem with it.

it all depends on the situation.
age is just a number tho- so i dont feel thats an issue- as long as the 23 yr old is aware of what they are doing- and not impressionable and naive.
i think people connect at all different ages and i dont think the gap should be a problem.
good luck!

I would recommend couples counseling before the marriage. I've seen too many of them fail. Then, if the 40 year old is the male, he's paying some serious child support into his 60s. Not something you want to be doing when you'd like to retire.

Its Perfectly Fine

My Sister Is 24 And Engaged To And 38 Year Old Man


tash!?#.
i think its, well
not ideal but if they love eachother then yeh

i assume the male is 40 and the female is 23
so say she was just ready to have a baby at 30, he would be 47 and when the kid is 13 he would be 60

so ;/

If it's real love and trust then go for it.

Age is just a number.

Seems a little close in age. I married a 22 year old when I was 49.

I don't know if you're just asking or actually thinking of doing that!
But really, if they care for each other,the 23 year-old isn't a gold-digger, the 40 year old isn't a Donald Trump-wannabe, or anything else like that, then I don't think anything is wrong with that.

They are both over 18, they are able to do so legally and morally. If that is their choice, who are we to say? I don't see an issue.

Happened with two of my buddies - they robbed the cradle, as the old saying goes. The couples remained happy for many years...

I'd like to know where all you people live, who are saying there's nothing wrong with it if the mutual feelings are there. I am 44 and I was married for 15 years, my ex wife (43) was the one who ended the marriage. Now in my state, within the counties, divorcing couples with minor children are required to take a 2 day 8 hour, "parenting class" as part of a divorce. Now when I took this class (at the extreme persistence of my ex wife) I met an absolutely wonderful woman there. We started talking and hit it off extremely well. We talked about our unfolding situations and some of the difficulties we would be facing. We have a lot in common and we also have qualities that we find in each other to be what we are seeking. We never talked about age our personalities just mixed. After the class we went our ways ( she was at the beginning of her divorce, this class was the finalization of mine. We never took it past the class because technically she was still married with a chance of reconciliation). We had fun with it while we could. 3 weeks later we run into each other at a sports facility where I play and where she works. I never saw her there before because she was on maternity leave. So I asked her out and we have been seeing each other for months, and now I get snide comments about me "robbing the cradle" and people look at my like I'm some kind of pervert. Because she happens to be 26. And the biggest thing that pisses me off is no one ever thinks twice about the 45 year old WOMAN dating a 26 year old guy. They get the thumbs up from everybody and they even get their own web sites. But it's like God forbid a 45 year old guy dates a 26 year old woman, then it's just sickening and gross.

Feel free to leave comments on my profile page or email me.

Some people go for those old enough to be their parent or young enough to be their kid. It's not my preference...and their situation isn't likely to work out real well (but sometimes it does).

Basically, it's their business but one or both probably have motives other than having fallen "in luv"

I know a 40 yr old man with a 16 yr old girl and they got married last year when she turned 17.

In Georgia 16 is the legal age of consent. ready for this....He was a Police officer.
Nuff said....age....who cares?

I think when one turns 40 the other will be 63 .
I think the 23 yr. is looking for their parent and the 40 yr. is looking for their youth again.
23 is old enough to be the 40 yr. old's child.
Go find someone near your on age and you will have a happy life because one is settled down and the other is not.

I think if they are happy then that is all that matters.

It's great for him but she loses some fun along the way. I didn't like it. And at the end, when she's in her 50's, she gets to be a nursemaid. Fun fun fun.

(isn't it funny, of course it's the woman who is the young one?)

17 years difference

large age gap between them, which may effect individually each's ideas, thoughts, culture. am not a supporter for this types of marriages. i personally prefer my wife to be my wife and my friend.
