As long as you feel you are both on par intellectually, and he has some sort of trade skill that he can help support the family and find work with, there is no problem.

I would say that would depend on only you. The future is unwritten and many things could happen.
If you value having expensive pleasures in life, then you might regret this guy later on. But then again, Bill Gates (owner of Microsoft) started out dirt poor. Some of those that make it in life don't have an education past high school. They either go into business on their own, invent something and sell it for $$$ or are so lucky. You can never tell. You could even marry someone with a really good education, but they either get deep in debt... go after other women... treat you badly. Then again, all of these may never happen.
You must sit down and have your heart talk with your mind. Go through all the different situations with this guy in mind (including family problems) and then if you can live with it, stay with him because you are strong enough for anything.
Best wishes (^.^)

Sweet d, I am going to be honest with you, been more educated does not have anything, I mean any single thing to do with your love life and your marriage. The most important thing is the geniue love you both have for each other and I want you to know that been not as educated as you does not make him less capable in doing his duty as your patner in all ways. Dont allow any member of the family or friend to mislead you darling. Wishing you a wonderful happy married life.

My first instinct would be to chastise you for an arrogant elitist post. However, you seem sincere in your question. My answer is that if you love this person their intelligence level shouldn't matter. You should consider this carefully though before moving forward. If you have questions about getting married at this point because of intelligence or lack thereof you will be in danger of having these feelings grow and fester in the future. If for some reason you do not achieve what you believe you are entitled to in life, there is a danger that you will blame your spouse for holding you back. This in the end would be worse than never having married at all.

Education is something you can always work on through: reading, classes, etc. As long as you can have good conversation and enjoy each others company then education shouldn't complicate things too much. If you both share knowledge then you can educate each other - life is about growing - where he is now as far as education is concerned doesn't mean he can't go farther. Good luck!

It actually might become a problem if you are concerned about it now. It may irk at you even more down the road.
I personally don't see a problem with it at all, as I was crazy in love with a man who had fewer years of education than I. In fact, I loved him mostly for his sharp and brilliant mind...

Education do not play any role in love and friendship.
You are lucky you got the friend with great knowledge of every thing.
Love is blind

No matter where you go in life there will always be someone smarter than you and someone dumber . Take your pick but I think your friend is making a big mistake marrying you since you seem to think he is already out of your league and you're too dumb to know the difference.

Are you going to handicap him and is he going to have to pander to your whims just to feel shielded from feeling less educated? Are you marrying him to feel important about yourself or is he marrying you because he can have a free education? Im not referring to 'sharing' strengths here either. There is nothing wrong with this setup, per se, just that , will he feel odd after a while, and will you behave humbly with your knowledge?

Absolutely, but in your case, it has been an issue since the beginning of the relationship and most likely will continue to be an issue. Not everyone meaures their partner with the same ruler
