RE: Is age just a number in relationships? my opinion

I’ve read before that it’s common for men (I’m sure it’s not all men but only some) in Africa to treat their wives as a child and have this high authority over them.

You heard right ma, this is common among our African men. Some of them exercise their high authority over women especially when the age gap is much.

I think about my grandparents and how people back then were marrying 20 years apart

Same experience with my mum, and before my siblings and I started growing up, my Dad was already ageing and later died living only my mum to take care of us..

I’ve always imagined me growing old with my husband and not having to take care of someone elderly who is aging way before me

We have same mindset here... 💕😘

I agree with you ma, marrying rightly, not for wrong reasons saves the day despite the age

Wow... thanks for your thoughtful comment @crosheille . I really appreciate this
