An interview from a woman:

When my daughter had just been working for 3 months, she suddenly announced a message to me: "I am getting married."

My daughter's marriage is a joyous thing. I thought at first that her husband was her university classmate.

She told me that her future husband would be one year older than me. I didn't feel happy all of a sudden and tried to stop this relationship.

But the daughter said: "I have lived with him for three years."

It means that she was with each other after her sophomore year in college.

I can't accept this reality. My daughter is beautiful, young, and has a stable job now, why would she choose an old man?

The reason given by my daughter: "He is rich and treats me very well."

I threatened my daughter: "If you dare to marry her, you will never come back again." Even so, my daughter is still married.

On the day of my daughter’s wedding, my husband and I were invited. My husband and I also wanted to witness our daughter’s happiness, but we didn’t dare to show up at our daughter’s wedding.

In a blink of an eye, the daughter also had her daughter. During my daughter's confinement period, I can't justify my disregard for my daughter. So I mustered up the courage to serve my daughter for confinement.

During the period, I had a cognitive change for this son-in-law who was one year older than me. Because of him, I saw full care for my daughter.

So I started to convince myself: “It’s no big deal for a son-in-law to be one year older than me. As a parent, my greatest expectation for my daughter is to hope she is happy. Since she is happy now, I should accept it calmly.”

Because there is no psychological burden for my daughter’s marriage, I don’t care about people talking about it anymore.

There are not many people around me talking about my daughter's marriage, but many people envy it.

I find that sometimes the so-called embarrassment is given by myself, not by others.

My analysis:

Some of the more well-known men marrying younger wives are common in life. Of course, everyone has heard of it, so I don’t need to name specific people here to give examples.

Regarding such love, everyone agrees: This is beauty married to money.

Most people also long for such a marriage, but they are not lucky.

Regarding marriage, I have always emphasized one thing: as long as it is not a matter of principle, we should give blessings.

An old-fashioned question: Is it more important for a woman to do well, or is it more important for a woman to marry well?

They are all important. But how many women can marry well? Therefore, a good marriage is only a small probability event, so don't expect too much.

In the face of true love, money is not an obstacle, nor is age. No one is qualified to blame others' choices. Even parents cannot help children choose their life partner.

Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. As long as it does not violate the law and morality, all marriages are worthy of being blessed by people.

Regarding marriage, it is just a story of a man and a woman, as long as the interpretation of this story is happy. Then, let us not oppose it.

Your son-in-law told you with practical actions that your daughter's choice was right. Your daughter will have a lifetime of happiness because of choosing such a husband. I hope you can also bless this couple.
