I am 66 yrs old. I am the product of a 40 yr. Marriage to a man 22 yrs my senior. He passed away 4 yrs ago. I spent most of my 40 yrs assuring him I was not worried about our AGE difference. He worried however no matter that I did not give him cause for concern. There was 4 step children involved here as well. Right out of Sound of Music cause I was a NUN for 4 yrs before marrying him. Holy Crow eh? hahaha In any event I am now a widow and the shoe is on the other foot. A 50 yr. widower is persueing me!!!! I am scared out of my witts. So many Questions arise. What if I get sick will he push my wheelchair like I did for my other half? What about his needs? What will be his priority? What about Retirement?( I am already there) I want to recoup all the time I lost careing for my Hubby and his children. I am having a difficult time to believe a man could behave the same as a woman under the same circumstances. I am realy in a quandry here. I can understand the man being OLDER but I can not see any Advantage of a Man being YOUNGER. Help!!!!!! Hi all the good people. I am 66 yrs old. I am the product of a 40 yr.

There are no guarantees in life. I say, be gentle with your parents. Stand your ground, but them know you understand about their concerns. Then you might just send them over to this website! Every marriage has strengths and weaknesses. With love, respect, and commitment you'll have a solid foundation for the good and the bad times. Best of luck to you both! Gayle Hi Kelley:

I have to admit, it's always nice to hear a sister "May" tell her story and share about her December's longevity. Needless to say when you are happily married, you want your spouse to hang around! I have learned that being of similar ages is no guarantee that both partners will live the same amount of time. But again, it is always nice to hear that a couple with a significant age gap can celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary together. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure you miss him. Thank goodness you didn't let fear or judgements stop you from following your heart. You had sooooo many wonderful years together. I just love to hear that!!! hugs, Gayle Hi June(bug):
