to be sincere, the age difference is a lot! 20 yrs is something! when you are 36, he'll be 56, when you are 56, he'll be 76! ask yourself, at 56, are you ready to be catering for your aged husband who is almost 80? these are things you should think abt because i have realized that as humans, we seem to do things out of the excitement of the moment without thinking of the future implications. ....but if you love him, then age shouldn't be an issue. so far as he is a good man in all aspects and is just what you want, i would encourage you to go ahead. but if you are having doubts, take some time to think and soul search....if at the end you still have conflicting thoughts, then maybe this is not the right situation for you to be in. Never enter into marriage having doubts or uncomfortable feelings. it affects a lot at d end of the day.

ps: People need to stop saying that age is just a number. AGE IS NOT 'JUST' a number. Age comes with responsibilities and expectations. why is not okay for a 36 year old woman to marry a 19 year old boy? have you asked yourself why a woman would rather date an older man than a man of her age? lets brainstorm and give the lady valid points!

I cant laugh ooo. . A serious matter. You've been dating him? I thought the reason why we date is so that it can lead to marriage? Were you dating him for other gains? When you were dating him, weren't you sure of your love? . They say love is blind, but the truth is: marriage is the eye opener

this is where i laff ah ah ah, which one is U don't know, did u just find out his age cos i don't get you. How come age became an issue when it's time to commit and not an issue when you dated him, my dear get your priorities right.
