When Your Spouse Is A Degree Better...
|
This does not mean there are no problems - her field is very different from mine. So we have very little in common, professionally, to talk about, which I do miss, and I guess she does as well. It is important to have that common basis of human quality and values that underlie everything else." Kudos to Ted for being so encouraging and supportive of his wife and helping her to study further.
In Indian society, if the wife is more educated than the husband, it may result in the husband suffering from an inferiority complex. Psychologist Dr.Rupa Kapadia says, "Sunil (not so educated) married to Sushma (highly educated) were having a difficult time because Sunil was insecure that Sushma would be the dominant partner. Consequently he started aggressively finding fault with her cooking to make his wife feel low. I worked with Sunil to make him secure with whatever education he had. Once he felt secure, he got over his insecurity and stopped finding faults with her."
American Psychologist Carl Rogers said, "The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change." So no matter what your educational degrees may be, if you open to learning and changing throughout your married life, your marriage will surely be a long and happy one.
So, would you marry a man less educated than you / a woman more educated than you?
