SIR, IS IT ALRIGHT FOR A MAN TO MARRY A WOMAN WHO IS OLDER THAN HIM?



PASTOR BANKIE: ANSWERS TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP & MARRIAGE QESTIONS (6)


Question: Sir, I want to ask about a situation in which a
marriage set on a solid foundation still goes
wrong. What could be the cause?

Answer: First, notice that the key word here is 'foundation.' A foundation is
not a building; it is the solid base upon which a house stands. You
can have a very solid foundation but add to it bad pillars and a
leaky roof. The building will still fail despite the fact that the foundation
is solid. So it is with marriage.
There are things to do to make a marriage sweet and
enjoyable. There is work to do everyday. We don't just lay a solid
foundation and go to rest. A solid foundation however makes restoration
of a damaged or poorly finished building easy. A marriage with a
solid foundation is also very easy to restore.
Marriage is a place where most people want to get it right
even though their whole life is wrong. Well, no matter how well they
discovered the will of God when choosing a mate, the fact that they
are not keen on building every aspect of their lives on the word of
God will make it impossible for them to build well on the solid
foundation, even though they were able to successfully lay it.

Question: Sir, is it alright for a man to marry a woman
who is older than him?
Answer: It is true that generally wives tend to be younger than their husbands.
The fact that females mature physically earlier than males may partly
explain why this is natural. However my study of the scriptures has
revealed to me nowhere that this was commanded, admonished or
implied. I have a lot of examples in modern times in which the wife
is older than the man and they led a very successful godly married
life. I think therefore that if it is alright with the couple there is
                                                           nothing wrong with it.
