I have friends who are getting married soon that have approximately that age gap. I think that they both know what they are getting into and can have a successful marriage, though there are still extra hurdles to overcome. For example, even assuming they have a child 1 year after they get married, he's going to be approximately 65 when they graduate high school and even older than that if they have other children. When she is 60, he's going to be almost 80. He's also God forbid more likely to die earlier.(Please read this before voting) For context, in this situation the male is 45, almost 46 and the female he is interested in is 26, turning 27 later in the year.
Do you think he could have avoided that insecurity with an older woman but no other changes to himself or his life?If they are over 30 as the younger one, not so much. They've gotten past the independent stage. At the same time some mature a lot quicker, like other countries. I have a family member with quiet a bit age difference, but she went into it knowing she would end up being his caretaker and once he passes she is free to marry and start a whole new life.
But I see he always worries when they go to a restaurant that she might find someone better than him. She has to constantly reassure him. She works as a nursing assistant, so her work comes out in her everyday life of looking out for him. She doesn't have plans to stay on this country once he passes, as she misses her family.
Has any of this feedback helped so far? . Fasting and prayer usually clears you to hear and know what the best choice will be and the holy spirits revelation.I don't look like I'm almost 46.. or so I've been told. Someone told me a few years ago (2020) that she thought I was in my 20s (around 25) and was surprised when I told her I was 42.
I appreciate all of the feedback. It has definitely helped. Since most of voting results says "it will depend on the individual if the age difference." so I have decided to take my shot... Just not sure when and or how to ask her since I hardly see her.Has any of this feedback helped so far? .

And to add to the discussion, I have a buddy that he's at least a decade younger than his girlfriend of 25 plus years. They aren't saved. He's about 52 years old, but looks much older and I think of her as younger but she has more health complications.
