A 25-Year-Old Girl Tells You: Is Her Marriage Happy by Marrying a 40-Year-Old Man?

“May-December romance” has always been a topic of discussion for many young girls. However, it is often not accepted by many parents who wonder why their daughters would choose a man much older than them but similar in age to themselves.

In today’s society, the love between older men and younger women is quite popular. The main reason is that the way older men show affection can make many young girls feel secure and cared for.

So, is a relationship and marriage with a ten-year age gap worth advocating and encouraging? Let’s look at the following examples:


The well-known sweet couple in the entertainment industry, “Chen Xiaochun and Ying Cai’er,” have a 15-year age gap, with Chen Xiaochun being older. In their marriage, besides raising their children, Chen Xiaochun treats Ying Cai’er like a child. You can tell a person’s love from their words and actions.

In a reality show, “Wife’s Romantic Travel,” Ying Cai’er had to do a dangerous activity. She was extremely scared, and even though Chen Xiaochun didn’t say much, his expression and continuously clasped hands showed his deep concern. He was very worried about his wife at that moment.

Nowadays, many young girls prefer to have older boyfriends who treat them like husbands for a reason. Apart from the lack of paternal love in their childhood, older men have experienced more in life than you can imagine. They handle things with maturity and stability. When it comes to emotions, they know how to cherish and take care of their partners better.

A man who showers his wife with love in marriage will make the family happier and more harmonious. Of course, it doesn’t mean the wife should just sit around doing nothing. A woman also needs to be outstanding. The more outstanding she is, the more her husband will love and cherish her.


I had a friend before named Jane, she is 25 years old born in 1995. When she announced her marriage, we were all surprised because her groom was a 40-year-old middle-aged man. But seeing Jane’s determination, we didn’t try to dissuade her. We all knew what it meant to be in a relationship and marriage with an older man.

Experienced and mature, financially stable and charming, if there were any tricks in the relationship, we knew Jane wouldn’t be able to handle them. We were afraid she would be hurt. Three years later, when we met again, we saw that Jane still looked young and beautiful, and we could sense that she was still happy. We felt relieved.

In relationships, the sincere love between two people is the greatest guarantee. Don’t worry about whether a person has a rich experience or deep schemes. As long as both are sincere, the marriage is meaningful.

Everyone has their own way of living. You don’t have the right to criticize others’ principles of dealing with things if they are sincere in their feelings. As long as the love is genuine, that’s enough. In a marriage where both parties know each other well, how can others understand the joy of being together?


Speaking of May-December romance, recent TV dramas such as “I Like You” and “Dear, Loving” are all love stories between older men and younger women. In these stories, we can clearly see how the older men, as the male leads, take care of and cherish their partners who are younger and less experienced.

They may not say flowery words, but they will show their affection through many details. Many expressions of love come not from words but from actions, showing, “I may not say ‘I love you’ first, but I will show my love through actions.”

Love is something that has no reasons. Some relationships come and go inexplicably, but it must be said that the love given by mature men can make people feel more secure.

Most young love relationships involve daily chatting, sending red packets for no reason, occasional meetings, and saying “I like you” all the time. However, at crucial moments, they may not be able to help you. Even these “top players” may not show up when you need them the most.

In contrast, mature men are more reliable. Although they may be busy with work and have little time to take care of you, they will immediately show concern for your feelings once they are free and will be there for you when you need them.

Most importantly, marriage is not a game. It’s not just about casually dating and breaking up if you don’t like it. Marriage is the sublimation of two people’s feelings and the courage to spend the rest of their lives together.

In marriage, mature men who have seen the world are more likely to be stable and have the determination to resist outside temptations. However, some men keep challenging the boundaries of marriage in pursuit of so-called “freshness,” constantly testing and enjoying the limits.

“A man who has seen the world is not short of women, but a man who has seen the world will only love one woman.” You will only understand this through experience. The less capable a man is, the more he likes to show off outside to prove himself, while a capable man will only live a down-to-earth life with you.
