Wondering

[fairykate]

I was living with a man much older than myself, in sin, and together we decided to live a clean life as christ would want it and marry. We asked for forgiveness for our previos sin and are living in a faith based marriage now. Does god care about the age difference ina man and woman if they are living in a faith based marriage?

Not at all, I am aware of no reason or biblical passage that references a large age difference as a bad thing (though I am sure this does not apply to pedophiles). As long as you are both adults and follow God's word, you are doing well.

Age difference in a marriage would not, itself, go against anything in the core Christian faith. There are some circumstances where such a marriage could be wrong in God's eyes, such as a case where someone is not of legal age, or someone marrying a wealthy elderly person just for the inheritance. If you are part of a loving, Christian marriage, I'm sure that God is smiling down on you both.

What is a faith based marriage?

No.

If you have found love, friendship, mutual respect, all in a relationship where you both want to honor God together, then congratulations, you couldn't ask for more

Age is nothing to God. However as long as your marriage fits into the "laws of the land" side of things then you will be fine.

Keep the faith in your marriage and everything will be ok

Agreeing with others here... in Jesus time a large age difference between men and women in a marriage was the norm, since men married at about 30 and girls in their early teens.
