RE: Is age just a number in relationships? my opinion
...it was always about wanting a likeminded man whom I was equally yoked with.
Ayyy... This is so important! It is just too important that both individuals in a relationship share the same values and are equally yoked. And without God, I really don't know anymore.
Speaking of culture, yes, in a way it does look like the man should have authority of his wife and home. It's not exactly implied that way, but certain men take it too far, and then it becomes a problem.
and not having to take care of someone elderly who is aging way before me.
That's another angle some people miss. But then, the relationship may be far from sweet.
I'd like to say that, yes, age shouldn't be an issue is the person is right, but I think it's entirely different with men's perspective. I think there are a lot of issues with a man marrying a woman that's 15 years older. What do you think?
Yes to this 👆🏽🙌🏽!!
Our household is ran biblically where my husband is head of our household. The difference is he doesn’t exhort his authority and belittle me. Instead he allows and values my opinions and sound advice and for that I am truly thankful and grateful. So I agree that the authority aspect can be sometimes taken out of hand and become a form of abuse/disrespect.
As far as the age is concerned of men marrying older woman I think it would be similar issues that arise just as for a woman marrying an older man. For instance the concerns of health with aging etc.
