Yes marriage is between two souls that mates with each other.

I've been married to my older wife for over 9 years. She's 11 years older than me. She's 47 and I'm 36 and since we got together and married back in 2015 our relationship has been great. We have 4 kids as well. Yes it has had some ups and downs but that's nothing to do with the age gap. Like all marriages it's not perfect but if you work together its amazing

Human love is unconditional. Marriage is not an exception to the rule. Love is an emotion that changes over time. Enjoy your marriage while it lasts.

Thank you for this. I appreciate hearing about this phenomenon because I’m happily engaged to a much younger man. He’s loving, kind, considerate, protective. I feel safe when I’m with him, I feel loved by and growing old together is going to be fun with him. He’s an Ordained Elder and already has 2 children and doesn’t want anymore.

Feeling wanted, like your health is more important than their friends and help them, just bring them a cup of tea, coffee goes a long way. If they never offer, ask for it to see if they will without a growl. I'm older & by 10 years. My husband has gotten in a rut of self-centered poor me. When I got a infection in my foot & was hospiltized for 6 weeks. He refused to take care of the home, clean up after himself & hated that he had to help me for food. I had to ask if he'd bring me something to eat or wash my clothes. He just didn't care., he wished I'd stay away. Yet when I got a little better he asked multiple times for sex. I 've been so down after experiencing that downturn. He's so self centered. He's gained so much weight over the past 10 years I feel he has lost his self respect what can I do to help him? He won't take suggestions on eating better.
