Russian women think that an unequal marriage presupposes some pitfalls, including intimate ones. The sexual activity of both is subject to change as years go by. This change can also serve as a reason for breaking up.
The main advantage of the union where partners belong to different age groups is that in such a marriage they satisfy not only the sexual, but also the psychological needs of each other. It frequently happens that an elderly man marries a very young girl to prove to others that he could still be strong, and to himself - that he can control his wife (if the wife was of his age, she would probably undertake the role of a leader).
In such a marriage, a Russian woman either subconsciously looks for a father who would defend her, instead of a husband, if she was brought up by a single mother, or she had been simply suppressed by excessive parental care. As a result instead of a caring daddy she gets a child who needs a loving mother. Here we have a ready conflict.
Now let's have a look at the situation when a young man marries a mature woman. Sex plays a more significant role in the marriage where the wife is older than the husband than vice versa. As a rule, a mature woman not only satisfies her late sexuality, but also fulfills the desire to assert herself, to be a teacher or a mother. Meanwhile, the young man in such a marriage first of all seeks protection from the partner.
Under the influence of such a wife, he indeed develops faster, becomes more successful socially, achieves self-realization. But with the passage of time, the man outgrows his role of a student and tries to become the head of the family. And again there is a conflict, as the wife does not want to give up her right to be the leader.
So, any marriage, irrespective of age difference, depends only on the desire of the couple to find a common language and to reach mutual understanding. The happiness in a Russian women marriage does not depend on age. The main thing is to love each other.
