I disagree. I used to think about it that way, but once she's in her forties he'll be in his sixties and a caretaker for him. I read an article about a young woman who married an older guy back when I was thinking it was a good idea to do this. I learned that he was abusive because he was older. He called the woman fat and said mean things because he was scared she'd leave him for a younger man because she was young and attractive. I don't think it's a good idea for young women to marry old men. I'm sure old men think it's a good idea because look who benefits, but a young woman who does it may only be looking for money. I mean wouldn't even enjoy playing with kids because the mad would be too old to do it. I don't think the Lord has mentioned it. It's a grey area. The Lord doesn't mention divorce if your husband is an abuser either, does that mean women should have to stay with abusive men? No. The Bible says a lot of things that favor men Don't get me wrong I read it and still try to follow it, but the Bible does seem sexist in some ways and probably because men who were in a time that being sexist was okay wrote it. Btw I'm not a feminist, I just think men have it too good and too many privileges.

Umm...most people in their sixties are way too young for needing caregivers...

For what it is worth, tradition says that Boaz was eighty when he married Ruth and she was young enough to have a child by him... On the flip side, Boaz died right after Ruth gave birth so she was suddenly a double widow and a single mom.
