My boyfriend is 72 and his health is deteriorating is it a bad idea to marry him ?

@UserNameSW Absolutely!

@UserNameSW Age does effect reality though.

@PoetryNEmotion many things effect reality. Age alone should rarely be determining factor

@PoetryNEmotion Reality in my book is that we're all going to end all too soon, and love, while the physical side is important, is also about the joy of being together and eventually for one side, the memories. And although broken-hearted for some years, better to have loved and lost..... End of sermon!

@alan20 Not a sermon if it is what you believe. Age would matter in love. The greater the age difference even as getting older, the harder it becomes. If I was with a man let's say a decade older or one 15 years older, each year matters. People need to take care of themselves. Health matters in love. Intimacy is important to me. You don't know my background. Memories matter too. I want both. Not one. I believe in love too. Always have.

@PoetryNEmotion Fair enough. I haven't been in love with someone of a different generation from me. I probably should keep my comments closer to my own experience.

@alan20 No. It is fine. You have an opinion. I like talking with people. It's all good.
