Do you think a 17 year age difference couple can have a long and happy marriage?

The younger person being very mature and have gone through a lot of hardships in her early years (7,8,9,10,11,12,13 years old). One person is an aquarius and the other a scorpio.





Do you think this couple can have a long and happy marriage?





Please provide deep insight if possible.





Thank you soooo much.Do you think a 17 year age difference couple can have a long and happy marriage?
I have a 17 year age difference with my fiance. He and I have been together for five years. Time will tell.Do you think a 17 year age difference couple can have a long and happy marriage?
first of all... the aquarius and scorpio business is ridiculous





second, my parents are 16 years apart and have been married for 28 years... (in july)





they have a long marriage... but... i don't believe it's been that 'happy'





these are the issues that may come up:


- wife feels she is entitled to some sort of power or benefit because she 'sacrificed her youth' as a young and vibrant thing who married an older man


- wife may feel she can act like a child and get special treatment


- husband and wife may be at different parts of their lives e.g. wife wants to have a career (or study some more) and not make babies, and husband might be over trying to build a career and would like to settle down and make babies


- during an argument, husband might use wife's young age as a 'reason' for her 'bad judgment' and think that he is wiser because he is older with more experience... even if the wife is actually right








my two cents
I feel like age plays a huge factor near the end rather than the beginning.





So, short term. go for it if everything is great have fun. But in reality, before getting serious you need to look down the road.





A very good friend of mine is 28 years old, she is engaged to a man that is 52... Thats 24 years differance, 2.5 decades. He is older than both of her parents.





First, Kudos to him being able to land a beautiful young woman but I feel so bad for her. She says she is with him because she feels secure that he will not leave or hurt her.





So what happens in 20+ years when god forbid her parents are passing, who will be there for her then? chances are he will have passed or will be shortly. She will have given him her youth for love only to be a Widow in her early 50's. who will she grow old with? who will she spend her golden years with?





She will be in the so called prime of her life 45 or so and taking care of an old man or worse yet looking for a new love.... And not to sound harsh but who wants to date a 45-50 year old woman in society today?


The men her age will be looking for younger women and younger men looking for the thirtysomethings...
