Life is a continuous process but to make our studies of life easier, we arbitrarily group life into stages with physical, mental and social characteristics. For we have infancy (1-5}, childhood (6-11) adolescence (12-17) and after that adulthood which is further sub-divided into mid-life (35-54) young old (55-65), middle old (65-75) and old-old (over 75). Old age is seen as the later part of life. There is no general definition of old age. Therefore you are as old as you feel but the United Nations have set 60 plus as old age.
We naturally acquire inflexible routine habits as we age. Marrying late to someone with inflexible and incompatible habits may pose a danger to the marriage. Studies also show high age difference may lead to infidelity. The higher the age difference, the higher the risk of infidelity, conflict and divorce.
The young woman may see her husband as a father or “sugar daddy” and the old man may see his wife as his daughter. An old man who becomes impotent may cause his young wife to seek pleasure elsewhere because body no be firewood.
