<div class="text-justify">The issue of age difference in relationship has caused many people to argue over time. The question if it matters whether the woman was older than the man or if the man is 10-15years older than the woman often comes up... Some may say it matters and some will say it doesn't matter since it's a matter of choice.

Whatever the case maybe, these are some things we should consider:

1. A woman loses her sex urge easily than the man... When a woman has a low sex urge it becomes worst when she is aging...

2. Many people believe that women always look older than the men because of stress of children bearing and some other stress...

3. Do African believe a man can get married to an older woman?

4. Looking at some Biblical examples did age difference matter in their relationship?

5. Why did God make man first and then make woman, did He want the man to be older than the woman in age?

These and many other things are to be considered when giving a standpoint...

It is believed that women are more active sexually in their 30s and some with low sex drive can easily lose interest in sex as they grow old while the man is still very active sexually but not in all cases and as such some couples take sexual enhancement drugs just to enhance their sexual urge. But this can be easily controlled if a lady marries a man older than her with at least 5 years. That year difference or gap can solve the problem.

It is also believed that women grow older easily out of children bearing and upbringing, but I believe it can be controlled if the woman take care of herself, So this should not be an excuse, but we should be guided and consider making the right choice. If you say it doesn't matter it should remain like that as women body differ from one to another... but note that there are other stress that makes a woman grow older... So it is better for a woman to marry a man older than her...

A typical Africa Parent will never allow their son to marry a woman older than him... Because of what the society will say. The age factor is very important.

God has a reason for creating Adam before He created Eve, there was age difference between both of them. The scriptures teach us that Abraham was older than Sarah his wife, so also was Moses, Jacob, Esau etc...
