Is it ok for a 17 year old to be with a 30 year old? Does the age difference matter when we want to get married in future?

hrmm.. i think if you are willing to be 30 and he is 43, then i guess that shouldn't be bad.

Some people might say you guys would have too many differences or one might be really active while he wants to just stay at home. these are differences which any marriage will have.

After all fusing two different people is never possible. What is possible is an honest authentic communication and enjoying every moment you have with each other. oh yea and also a healthy body makes a healthy mind. So doesn't mind how old you are, as long as you are healthy, and lead an active, blissful life.

ummm... ok, i don't entirely agree.

one is 17. the other person is 30.

romanticism aside, is the 17 yr old 'prepared' for a marriage?

like really. it's not a walk in the park you know. nor is it is a hollywood flick.

its a marriage.

how about understanding what it means to be 17.

coz even some 30 yr olds don't get what it meant to be in their 20's.

its just that i think one needs a dose of cold-hard reality.

reality isn't always pleasant.
it has its moments, yes.

I would recommend that you start thinking about the future say in 20 years' time and then ask yourself, can you think you can accept it. If the answer is yes, then go ahead and ask allh for help. Do the night prayers for guidance as well.

In S'pore context...17 just too young for marriage. True it's not always abt age; maturity level counts, but 17 is just too early. Even though the 17yrs old gal may already be working, her $$ status wont be sufficiently stable for marriage (unless the 30yrsold hubby is superduper rich). Even then it's not only abt money. Sure, some 17 yr olds are 'mature thinking' for their age, but it doesnt mean their tinking is 'mature' enuf for de preparation for married life. Maybe they shld wait till they're like, above 24.

hello my dear...well frankly age does not matter... but im kind of concern of ur age now... Does ur parents n his parents agree to ur relationship??

Mine is like urs (exactly age gap = 13yrs) but the only diff is that i met my guy when im 19... now im 22 and getting married end of this year. Gone thru alot of stuffs... from parents/siblings/friends/ur kind of life/career n studies... and soon after married, another case of in-laws, and maybe the future kids... when i meet my friends, i tend to feel that im far from the rest - more matured in life, and does not feel of enjoying... stress at werk and stress of thinking for the upcoming events...

My dear, if u really decided - there's no turning back - wish u the best, smile always...
