When Old is Gold

That was the first thing that managed to catch my interest when I first laid my eyes on the new magazine I bought recently. “When Old is Gold – why some young women go for mature men.” According to the article, some younger women find older men fascinating. A lecturer and a psychologist at the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, UKM said that one of the more obvious explanations is that they feel “safe” with older men who, more often than not, are financially secure. Most mature men tend to be more understanding, loving and caring. These young ladies want to be nurtured and pampered and they want a man whom they can rely on. They too may have experienced negative experiences in relationship with younger men or men of their age.
I guess these women have their points there. It is true that older men tend to be more understanding, loving and caring. Nevertheless, there are some younger men too who are just as loving and caring as the older men. What is there in age? A friend once told me. Yes, that is also quite true. To me, whether your spouse is old or young, what’s more significant is that both parties must understand each other well ( if you don’t, take the effort to do so ) and be aware of each other’s needs in order to have a beautiful and successful marriage as this sacred bond is a two way kind of thing. It will never work by simply being ignorant and taking things for granted. May he be old or young, plant your seeds with love and shower them with tender loving care and affection to nurture a good and a high-quality harvest in future!!
