No. It's different. We have etiquette class and then values class (forgot the subject name)

When we get married, we get those lessons for free.

I'm starting to think that dating a man with a huge age gap is NOT a good idea. I have a friend kasi who married an older guy when we were in our 20s. NOBODY knew the age of her husband but we estimated that he was old enough to be her father (17 or 18 yr age gap). This week I was told that her husband passed away and it was only in the wake that I saw his birthday, totoo yung hinala namin na age gap and he passed at 61 yrs old.

My issue is at my age, our elders and contemporaries are starting to die, those that aren't blessed with good health genes, 40s lumalabas na cancer or would pass from stroke or heart attack. So age gap guy just turned 60! He mentioned na he is at an age na he wants to marry (malamang haha) but then I am scared na what if we end up together and I would be in fear I could lose him anytime because he is senior na nga and men start dying in their 60s dba? Swerte na umabot ng 80. Although mga Uncles ko by marriage puro late 70s and 80s na. I don't know how I will take care of him so he will reach his 80s or 90s na malakas

Is your age gap around two decades (maybe more)? If so, I think I agree with you.

Close to two decades (16-17 yrs) He is strong and athletic pa at 60 but MOST men die young kasi Plus sa 60s lumalabas na talaga mga sakit. I read that scientifically 45 and 60 ang age where age related changes happen the most.

Dr Cute passed at 60, Husband ng friend ko 61, Doc Willie Ong may cancer at 60 and so many more, 50s pa nga that are sick or passed away na

I think that's still within the upper limit? No one can really say how long we have. Depends also on several factors like overall health, lifestyle, genetics, family history, etc. dr.d can chime in.

Tama yan. In love, all the rules does not matter. Love is blind and lovers cannot see.

wrong mistake:
"do not expect the guy to change, just because he marries you."

Marriage for most is a big disappointment mainly because :

The woman married a man because she was hoping to change him

On the flip side, the man married a woman hoping she would not change

Maybe not exactly the same, but in our HS Catholic all-boys school, - during our 4th year, we have a subject on Responsible Parenthood...

the expected lifespans of a filipino female and a filipiino male in the philippines, are 74 years and 70 years, respectively.

but when they die prematurely, they get noticed more, hence the perception.
in my opinion.
hey! in my case, i certainly hope and pray that you're wrong!
