Hi myLotters, just wondering how many of you would marry someone who is less educated than you. Just to share with you guys that I'm a degree holder and my spouse only finished his primary school education. We are happily married now with 2 daughters. I can still remembered those very difficult times we had convincing my parents. My mum was 200% against my relationship with him. Many people especially my university friends were very surprised when I married him. I don't regret my decision at all cos my hubby is a humble, down-to-earth and caring man who puts his family (my daughters and me) as his pirority. Happy myLotting=))

There is nothing about the education status in marriage. The thing is leading a balanced life. When both of them are educated, there will be so much ego's in decision making in some families. Your family is very nice and balanced one. It's all depends on the care and the love. Though education is neccessary,it alone cannot make a good life!


myLot reputation of 98/100. thhoon72 (172)   ranked 931 out of 11,685 in love  5 months ago

Hi expressnature, thanks for sharing. I agreed with you totally that education is neccessary but it alone will not determine the character of a person. Before I met my hubby, I have been dating a few of my University friends. Many of them were egoistic and too full of themselves. That is why I was attracted to my hubby who is matured, humble and down-to-earth. I am so glad that we overcome all the obstacles and finally get married. Cheers>o<

You marry someone primarily because you love the person despite of all the flaws one has. Normally it is the parents who would raise a doubt if the person their daughter is marrying has not even finished college. It is a pretty normal reaction and that is understandable. Every parent's wish is to see their children have a beautiful life when they get married. If I were in your shoes, I would probably do the same. Who knows, it might serve as an inspiration to him to finish school.


myLot reputation of 98/100. thhoon72 (172)   ranked 931 out of 11,685 in love  5 months ago

Thanks jules67 for you reply and sharing=))
Yes, I can understand why my mum objected strongly previously since now I'm a mother myself. What I want to say is that luckily both of us persisted and overcame all odds. My parents is relieved to see that I am happily married now. My hubby loves me and my daughters very much. Cheers>o<

Highly educated or less educated is not a matter when you love someone. If you truly love that person you will take what he or she is, everything about that person. In that way you show that you really love that person.


myLot reputation of 98/100. thhoon72 (172)   ranked 931 out of 11,685 in love  5 months ago

Hi myx_03, I think now in our society, many people do place alot of emphasis on how educated your partner is. Many people would rather choose bread over love. For me, I am a romantic person who lets my heart decide for me. That is why the more I get to know about my hubby, the more I love him. I become more sure that he is the one for me. Cheers=))

Well, I don't really think that education level should be a barrier to love and marriage. As long as you are happy with the guy, I do feel that it's fine that the woman is better educated than the man. For me, my husband is also "less educated" than me, but I do not think it's a problem. The main thing is the feelings for each other...


myLot reputation of 98/100. thhoon72 (172)   ranked 931 out of 11,685 in love  5 months ago

O yes, I do agree with you that the feeling and love between husaband and wife is more important than education level. In my circle of friends, I am the only one who married a 'less educated' man. But who cares cos my hubby is earning more than a university graduate and most important is that he respect and love me. Happy myLotting=))


myLot reputation of 92/100. gcorp09 (548)   ranked 2,460 out of 11,685 in love  5 months ago

Yes, it's true. The feelings are more important than the education level. For me, I do not care what people may say. Anyway, I also do know of others who also marry someone who's lesser educated than she is. There's a few in my company who are also in this type of situations but they are not bothered about it at all.

so what if the person is less educated....do you love him? does he love you? and you know the person, this is your call!


myLot reputation of 98/100. thhoon72 (172)   ranked 931 out of 11,685 in love  5 months ago

Yes yes, I like your attitude!!! It's my life and it's my decision to marry who ever I love. Cheers=))

you're so lucky to meet a guy who's worth it of all your risks in life. my mom is also a degree holder while my dad was only a college level student. education didn't really hinder their faithful relationship with each other. they were very happy together and my dad loves us so much and it shows to how good provider he is.

I'm not a degree holder, I didn't finish the first semester in the university then I started working because my family couldn't afford me... My hubby is a degree holder adn he doesn't mind that I'm not holding a degree and he doesn't think it is a big deal at all in our relationship no matter his dad doens't like or whatever. I don't think it is such a big issue to me.

We are both College Degree holders and it has nothing to do with our education why we chose each other. When we love a person, we accept them who they are and what they are. It is not because of what they have, actually that will be a bonus part.

But then, relationship cannot be measured by ones partners success in life. I do believe that both should help each other and compliment each other very well. If a spouse is lacking in educational background, it does not mean that he or she will be inadequate to fulfill ones need.

I am happy to hear that you and your hubby are doing well and I am sure that your mom would now understand the reason why you chose your hubby among other men who courted you. It is really important that a persons ability to love is not because he must possess such material things in life to make the other person happy.


myLot reputation of 98/100. thhoon72 (172)   ranked 931 out of 11,685 in love  5 months ago

Hihi=))
Yes, indeed my mum can see the reason why I insisted on marrying my hubby. She is very pleased with my hubby now cos he really takes good care of me, my daughters and my parents. Cheers.

I definitely agree with you. Education is not a good reason to not marry someone. I know I would never even consider not marrying someone just because of educational differences. That seems really silly and dumb to me.
