They say love is blind, not caring for caste, religion, or social status. But in today’s world, love has become so blind that it often overlooks even the age gap.
According to a report by Indian media outlet News18, you’ve probably heard or seen stories about couples with a significant age difference, whether among people you know or even celebrities.
Recently, a story from the U.S. has been making headlines, not just because of the age gap between the couple, but also because the husband pays his wife a salary so she can stay with him.
The report, citing Daily Star News, reveals that Alyssa Armogam, 30, from Miami, met her husband Mark, 59, on a dating website. At the time, Alyssa was already a mother of two children.
Their relationship began when Mark, impressed by Alyssa’s situation as a single mother, gave her $300 (approximately 25,000 rupees) at the start of their dating to help cover the cost of her babysitter. Alyssa was deeply touched by the gesture and continued dating him.
Mark, a businessman and investor, is financially well-off. Alyssa, aware of his wealth, made an unusual deal with him. She agreed to continue dating him, but in return, she asked for a weekly salary of 84,000 rupees (around $300). This arrangement made her feel more secure in their relationship.
Now, two years into their marriage, Alyssa still receives a weekly salary from Mark. She enjoys the romantic gifts he buys for her and feels loved and supported in this unconventional relationship.
