young and old partners
In many communities in Nigeria, it is a taboo for a woman to marry a man younger than her, also it is forbidden for a man to marry a woman older than him.
Could we call this a societal construct killing millions of potentially happy relationships, or a deliberate attempt by us individuals to kill our source of happiness ?
A man asked about the wisdom of marrying an older woman. They’re deeply in love, both financially independent and resolutely determined to marry themselves. But they heard a series of divided opinions. Some say go ahead, others say no! The age gap is too much.
According to many unsolicited advisers, as far as the woman is concerned, an old cloth remains an old cloth !
That might be wrong! Considering the vintage cloth designers or vintage model cars. When a property is well-loved and cared for by its owner, it remains much sought after by many collectors.
Are we slaves to societal norms?
Many have married according to society’s accepted standards, and the marriage went upside down. Others have acted outside the box, and are defying the naysayers and living blissfully. You as a person need to know your desires and threshold and make your choices.

I could say they were the most peaceful family I had ever known in my life. So much that I had assured myself to work towards having such a loving, peaceful and happy family.

Yet I know another family that lives directly opposite our apartment, a very young beautifully endowed lady and her husband wakes the entire neighborhood up with their show of wrestling and arguments. To them, the act is a prerequisite course they never dare to carry over every day in the early hours of the morning. Sometimes , they are so magnanimous enough to exhibit a wrestling contest to everyone in the neighborhood’s delightment. But you could tell that the “husband was far older than his wife”
