This thread is actually kinda funny.
It's a matter of supply and demand.
If you do a family history, you may be surprised to find a number of your female ancestors married younger men. Further investigation will show they married around the time of a war when the older males were either away or killed....supply and demand.... and they still had long marriages. The availability pool will also apply to religious affiliation today, among other things.
Every time/generation in history changes that availability pool.
Males and females both have their idea of the perfect mate, which is rarely found,(you'd be astonished to know how far apart males and females think) so you choose the best that's available to you and then work like hell to do the very best you can to achieve what you perceive is God's Will for you.
When you've been married 60+ years and look back, you'll realize your life has been primarily the result of your own choosing so don't make every decision/reaction the hill you're willing to die on.
Choose the best you can, sincerely do your best with what you've been given and pray you pass the test.
