Age Disparity
How Age Differences Strain Marriage Studies highlight that unions where the wife is older than the husband often encounter unique obstacles. In these cases, the woman may feel a stronger sense of obligation, building stress over time. This age gap can cause mismatched roles and expectations. The older wife may carry heavier emotional or practical loads, feeling swamped if the husband doesn't step up equally. Societal views and external judgment can also weigh on these ties. The older wife might face scrutiny over her role, denting her self-worth and the couple’s balance.
