After 63 years, 1 career and 1 divorce after a 20 year relationship, I have found this. It's hard to have a happy marriage if a man doesn't have a good job as a financial base of support. Also, if that job doesn't have evenings and weekends off, so that you can spend time with the spouse and children, it's difficult to have a happy marriage.
Also, both spouses must have similar life goals, values, and interests for the marriage to work. You can have the best job in the world, but if you don't have a happy marriage to someone who you love and loves you in return, the job isn't worth much. Once a couple are married, then the maintaining of that happy marriage has to be the most important goal of both spouses.
Also, each spouse must make a decision to make the other person, the most important person in their life. If the other person isn't willing or able to do that before the marriage, I'd walk away.

If you to be Executive in the company - sex is no problem. Salary gives you opportunity to afford to have a dates. After job you can have love.
Computer you can always have but not a women.
Career is going together with life and love because your goal is to be successful.
More question ???

i think it is more important to have love in life than a career. love can't buy you happiness, it can only buy you the illusion of happiness. but love never paid the bills either so it all depends on what you want out of life. someone to come home to or a successful career and an empty apartment or house. one person doesn't make a home, two people together do. even if it is a cardboard box underneath the bridge.

I would choose love over anything. I met my boyfriend that is now my husband 2 1/2 years ago. I just graduated high school and was planning to go into the Navy and become a police officer, but then I met Shawn. wasn't looking for a relationship but his mother ran over my dog and It all happened after that. I put off going to the navy for a year just to see if anything was gonna happen. her proposed and he wanted me to go. He was in the army for 9 years and understood my want. We decided to get married and then came the hardest. I choose the love of having my children over my career. i never thought about kids until I got married. i am now expecting my first baby and am in my 3rd year at college to become a teacher. I am happy. Teaching is not a great job but with me and my husband we will live comfortable enough and I will still get to be a mommy.

imagine 30 years from now....what would be more wonderful to look back on, the love you got or the awesome career you had? My bet is the love you got--that is through the woman, the children, the friends made in that process. It's a better package and health insurance that any career can offer.

Both can be fulfilling... it's a personal preferance... if you have a career that you are passionate about and intend to dedicate your life to... it would be selfish to have a family you never had time for. Then there are those who need the closeness of someone in there lives and it's a matter of choice. Go out there and do what makes you happy... You have one life to live .... good luck

For a guy, career . Women love men who self actualize. So love comes with success in a way. Women get tired of guys that love them but are drifting thru life career wise. It always ends up that way

career or even great wealth does not make a person happy. I would say love and a good relationship. because love will be the rocket fuel you need to launch you into space.

Love and anything that has to do with it. you can easily find a career but hard to find the love of your life and that person loves you back as well.

Love and commitment is more important.
There are many lonely weathly business executives.
You can have both, secure the love and then go after the business. But love is something many people with wealth would glady trade for.
