Or do what I did... marry a woman who is 24 years younger. They have a lot less health problems and the woman is supposed to be much younger than the man, anyway. (That's going to stir up a hornet's nest, but it's true.)
OK so I'm female and a year older than my husband. Why is the woman supposed to be "much younger than the man"? So she can take care of him when he's old?
I'm 34, but before I met my husband, when I was 29, I went out with a guy who was 43. We got along fine and had similar hobbies, but after few dates I just started being weirded out and felt like I was dating my dad. No thanks. 24 years would be totally unthinkable for me.
And, BTW, my mom's health problems stem from a virus she got while holding babies in her church's nursery, and from a fall she had while riding her bike that fractured some vertebrae in her back. IE, things that could happen to anyone of any age.
