How old is too old to get married?

There is no such thing as too old to get married. To get married at any age is a matter of the heart, mind, body and soul. If your soul, body, mind and heart can come together and agree on a wedding date, then I say go for it.

The first thing that will come from many people mouths is, "Now you know they should be ashamed of themselves. What is they getting married for anyway, it is not like they can have sex". Why it is that sex is the only reason for someone to get marry and who wrote the law of when a person should stop having sex? Older people tend to marry for company more than sex. At an older age, we tend to understand better, the warmth of a loving arm or the concern of a loving heart. When we are younger warm arms are, "why are you trying to crowd me in"? When we are younger a concern heart is, "why do they call me every time I leave the house, they are trying to tie me down".

Nevertheless, this does not mean that people who marry at older ages are not having sex. There are people who are up in their 60's, 70's, and even 80's, that are having very enjoyable sex lives. Beside the older, you are the better understanding of sex you will have. There are many people have said that they did not fully understand sex until they became much older. They learnt that sex does not always mean intercourse and jumping up and down in a bed. They learnt that sex is not always how many position you can twist your partner into.

Yet in still we think that there should be an age limit on when a person get marry. If you are one hundred years old and you have someone who can make your hear skip a beat when they enter the room, then why not marry them if they will have you. If at ninety years old you can do the tango and make your partner break a sweat, then marry him. If at eighty years old, you cannot watch the movie for looking at her, well then ask her to marry you.

There is no age limit to when a person get married. There is no age limit to when a person fall in love. We as people need to learn how to follow our hearts, and love with it. We should not listen to society, who is more then happy to see us alone. Why should I die old and alone because society says that I am too old to marry the man of my dreams? I should not marry him because as fate will have it I do not find him until we are both in our 70's. Well I think that society should find them a life and leave others alone.

The bible speaks of people finding each other after hundreds of years in age!
