The
idea of women marrying younger men is becoming popular in our days, but its acceptability
has been strongly challenged. It is not really a big deal in the western world,
but
It
is a big deal in some places in Africa. It still remains a strange and
unacceptable idea in
Africa
and everyone seem to envisage nothing more than problems in such union.
My question
is: what is actually wrong with such a union? Does any religion support such
marriage?
Is
there any guarantee for success in such a union or everyone should expect
problems in the long-run? Stay with me as I make my opinion known to you and
also tell you about a 33 year old lady who had been lonely for some time now
and wooed by a 24 year old man who is in his final year but then he is building
his own company and he is intellectually sound and mature compared to most of
the men her mates or men older.. now her fears are one:
Is she going to be losing her mind to let her guard down....? is she settling below standards? Is she acting under pressure?
Is she going to be losing her mind to let her guard down....? is she settling below standards? Is she acting under pressure?
Friends
have asked her questions like, is he serious about you or he is looking for a
fling? To her, he is not as a matter of facts, he is way more serious about his
feelings for her than she is for him?
Is
he a graduate? Her friends would ask her? Knowing what they would say if she
said no, she covers him up and says he is a graduate.
Does
he have a place of his own? Naah, he is living with his mum but he is planning on
moving out as soon as possible...
