can education be a barrier in front of marriage?

Question

i finished my education( i finished college) and there's a guy who proposed to me although he never finished his education he's so rich should i take the education issue as a barrier

he never finished his education means that he left school and he's a grown up now and he doesn't think of finishing his education

Answer 1

Wait till he finishes school before getting married...

Answer 2

I do believe that being intellectual equals is part of what makes a good marriage-HOWEVER education level is not the best way to judge intelligence. Perhaps there were some extenuating circumstances that made it so he could not complete college. He still got a good job, and from what it sounds like some good money, so obviously he is smart.

I would worry about being intellectually (and otherwise)compatible than about education levels. Good luck and congrats on the engagement.

Answer 3

That's a judgment call and largely depends on the value you place on eduation. Most of us pursued an education with the hopes of making ourselves more marketable. If he's already wealthy then formal education may well be less of a concern. The question is two-fold: Is he wealthy enough that his wealth is inexhaustible? And do you basically value education for education's sake (personal enrichment/pursuit of knowledge). Your aswers to these questions will determine your basis for deciding the strength of this issue as a barrier to your potential marriage. Good luck

Answer 4

That depends. What does he do for a living? Is it something that he enjoys, or at least is satisfied with, or does he just kind of float around not really committing to any goals?

If he's never finished school because he inherited money or has family money and doesn't work, I would be leery. The people who I have known in the past who have large amounts of money that they didn't actually have to earn themselves tended to be fairly immature. I wouldn't want to be with someone who's never shown me that they're willing to work for what they want and stick it out if things get hard. (And in marriage, things will be difficult sometimes.)

On the other hand, if he's one of those people who never went to school but still ended up working in a job that they enjoy, I wouldn't let it bother me.

Good luck!

Answer 5

I would consider it in the overall picture.

A lot of men feel threatened by a smart woman. And it could be thrown at you in arguements ("you think you're so smart because you went to college", "you think I'm stupid because I didn't finish my education", "just because you went to college, you think you're smarter than I am", etc. etc.).

Money should not be a factor (but it's a plus because a LOT of marriages fail because of money pressures and the issues that not having enough money causes.)

Answer 6

wait a little bit until he finishes his education. dont let the cash flatter u, ur probably going to make a wrong decision if u agree cuz ur not going to hav time to spend with him. unless u mean he's so rich that he duznt NEED education, if its like that, then i say that if he's really ur kind of guy, take the shot.
