I needed to hear this. I receive snarky, passive aggressive remarks from my family, which hurt. But I am blessed to have a kind and protective husband with whom I share a beautiful baby.
Marrying up or down shouldn't be in terms of income or other assets, but in term of personality.
A smart man who hasn't obtained a degree (because of some understandable reasons) is still suitable for a smart woman who has a successful academic/professional career.
Just because I haven't objectified my potential doesn't means I am disqualified for a relationship with someone who fits that potential.
We have to correct our materialistic views. They are destructive to our relationships.
Marrying down is all about power relationship; because it’s motivated by "rivalry" and "love of power", as opposed to genuine love and sacrifice. Marrying down is an asymmetric relationship in which the woman dominates and controls every aspect of the relationship, and she can terminate it at her whim.
How many copies were sold? There are many issues in our society which are much important and they are discussing about the issue which doesn't exist.
Wow this woman talks a lot of sense and emphasises the best partner for an alpha female is a supportive beta male.Modern marriage is a partnership,not a confrontation.
Yeah. Write about your vibrator BOB next year.
0:54 So the wage gap is officially dead?
I will never again marry. Not for me.
Marriage is about love...Not about marrying up or down as this is irrelevant if you truly love the person you are getting married to.
Only these days are people holding on to their ragged purse thinking they are going to be robbed blind.
Once again, marriage is about love, not about what you are going to get.
Personally, I cannot marry anyone who I find annoying, regardless of whether they are up or down.
I can't even decide if I want to get married or not anyway.
You can't decide because you can't find a man who earns more than you. You're full of it.
I 💯% appreciate your statement but it is not exist now madam.
Marrying "down" never was an issue for men, only for women, because they care too much about other people opinions, specially other women, they are worried about status, women who think like that are terrible wifes and even worst moms, no wonder they can't find anyone, Men run away from that kind of women and rightly so.
Marriage has never been solely about love since the beginning of time, get married and you’ll figure it out real quick
Maybe I'm living in a house filled with little alpha people...
Ok women here is a challenge you won't take. Marry a homeless men
I will never again marry. Not for me.
Good
