People are so funny, most especially those who knew nothing about love. To be sincere, love can make you do anything possible and anything a normal human being cannot do.
I tried to imagine the minds of those who said there should be a set difference between the ages of a couple. The issue here is beyond the imagination of those who have these thoughts. Love can overcome all things, no matter the situation.
I can take my mind to so many people I have seen getting married to someone they can give birth to just because of love.
The first person to be mentioned here is my late father-in-law. When I got married to my husband, I had to ask him so many questions, and one of those questions was, “How old were your dad and his first wife?”
He first looked at me and said, “I know why you are asking this question." I was expecting an answer, which indeed he gave to me. It was not a shock when he said, “My father is a great way younger than his wife. The age difference can bear a son who will be of my age.”.
I knew it would happen that way just because of the woman's appearance compared to my father-in-law.
I did not stop asking, as I'm so inquisitive. “What did your dad see in her to have gotten him attracted?”
My husband was ready to answer every one of my questions. He said, “The very thing I saw in you was what my dad saw in her.”.
My father-in-law loved her so much, and according to my husband, my father-in-law fell for her beauty. She was so beautiful, and he did everything possible to get her. She has two children for my father-in-law, of which she is the firstborn, followed by my husband, who is the secondborn.
So, love can make everything possible. Age, if I can say, does not matter in a relationship, but what matters most is love. One may be asking, “Is there love between these two?” The answer would be "yes," because before they got attached, love would first come to stay in the eyes of the two lovers.
We bought land some days back from a lady. During the process of signing the document, we managed to see the husband of the young lady. I initially thought he was the father of the lady but was shocked to hear the lady call the man "honey." I did not hesitate to ask her the question that I was not ready to ask. I know it may sound funny, but that had to clear off my doubt.
“Is this man your husband?” I asked funny.
She was so glad to answer me. I thought she might see the question provoking, “Yes, he is my sweetheart.”.
I greeted him nicely, but then something kept me thinking, Why on earth would this young, pretty-looking lady get married to this old man? The more I asked, the more I found answers to my question, and the only answer to the question was “love.”.
This alone showed that age is not a number, but love oversees all doubts.
What am I talking about? I'm a victim of this topic. The age difference between my husband and I is up to 10 years, but yet I had to marry him just because of the great love I have for him. I love him with all my heart, and he does the same as well.
In a relationship like this, the love one must feel for each other must be reciprocal. One-sided love can always turn out to be a cheat instead of love. Love oversees the path to age difference. Love can always fill the gap between the two.
Most people would say they can't get married to someone way older than them, while most men would say they can't marry a woman who is way too young or too older than them. So, we have individual differences when it comes to the choice of who to marry when it comes to the case of age.
