Do you think a man should marry a woman who is older than him? If your answer is "yes" then up to how many years is acceptable?

Sometimes age is not a factor to fall in love. Same is true for marriage.

  Don't you feel loving or having a crush on an older woman is different from marrying her?

not more than 1 or 2 years...wives are as such suspicious. If they are much older, there is a possibility they'll become more suspicious:)

Age is irrelevant. Love knows no boundaries.

when I married a man 22 years younger than me no one batted an eye.

or was that a movie I fell asleep watching... I get so confused.

age is not a factor unless one of the people involved is underage.

My husband fell in love with a woman 25 years older than him.

We've been happily married 5.5 years.

If I ever marry again (and that's a big "if"), I'm definitely marrying a much younger man. I will whip him into shape, squeeze him, and call him my buggaboo.

Kidding -- age is only a number.

I always thought I would marry a slightly older man. Turns out I married a slightly younger man by five years. As long as he isn't a minor it's all good. I don't think I would go for anyone younger than my husband though.

There is no "should" in love and marriages. One should tread the path which his/her heart wants to explore.

It's just that we should keep within social boundaries. I wouldn't appreciate a 60 year old man/woman marrying a minor or something like that.

I am married to an 87 year old fox and when she takes those teeth out and gives me that come hither gum grin she knows it won't be long before I am testing out the manufacturer's durability claims on those sexy new titanium hips of hers.
