If someone seeks a partner to assist him/her in earning,it might be an issue or a way.But I believe that all you need for a long lasting love/marital life is understanding of each others' situations,feelings,love and devotion to keep this beautiful relationship unbroken.Education can show you ways or make you able but these naturally occurring things like emotions,various circumstances and social issues aren't mentioned fully in any of the present day education system or written in any book.Education has nothing to do with being smart or understanding of varieties of day to day situations.Degrees can get you a lucrative job but not a innocent loving heart.education makes man mechanical,bound by routine but doesn't fine tune your inner glow. inner beauty.I guess no one buy it with money too.Completely illiterate persons are intelligent too but to survive in society and to polish up the naturally given logical intelligence,some education is must needed.

This wouldn't stop me at all. I'm glad to see that ladies are fine with this also. I myself got in to a skilled trade right out of high school so I don't have a collage degree I have looked in to getting it at a later time. Seeing that gals out number guys on many collage campuses today there is a good chance the guy they may marry some day might have not gone to collage. With girls being told that if they don't go to collage and get a degree there some sort of failure. This is not true at all. Let face we all know somebody who has gone to collage and spent 4 to 5 years of there life some finished some didn't yet they have nothing to show for it but a big old loan they have to pay.
So long as they can keep up with me intellectually and stimulate me and provide interesting, meaningful and in depth conversations then I don't care if they only got through middle school.
It's not what fancy papers they hang on their wall or what prestigious schools the boast about going to, it's what they can do with what they've learned and picked up over the years that matter. And people don't need to go to college and beyond to be smart.
So as long as they were as smart as me I don't care, if I love them, I love them- I can't help that sh*t. Though I know I won't really fall for any one stupid because it would just bother me and thing would get mighty boring mighty quickly.
Sure. I don't measure intelligence by how much school a person has completed, or how many degrees they have though. I dropped out of high school and got my GED when I was 16. But no one who has ever actually spoken to me could honestly say that I'm unintelligent, lol. I know a lot of very smart people, who when speaking to them, if you didn't know ahead of time, you'd never think them less intelligent than someone you actually KNOW to be more 'technically educated'. Because they're not. They just didn't continue school.
I don't need a person who has a GED or high school diploma but I need someone that can have an intellectual conversation with me on various sunjects. Besides, I won't marry someone who doesn't have a job. So, that cuts out many people who don't have a simple dilpoma.

your question is if persons educational level is below than mine and if I will marry him:
ANSWER: Ofcourse YES! I will marry HIM in all the Churches :))) lol
Well, all of us has different thought regarding this one... Because for me, as long as that guy will love me for the rest of his life, won't fool me, he is GOD fearing, VERY RESPONSIBLE in life, has a sense of humor and great in personality...then WHy not?! What's the use of HIGHER education if you're not happy with your partner?right? Money CANT buy happiness a literally happiness in life... you have money to buy anything you want, a big house, a expensive car etc but the question are you happy in just material things? Hope it helps :)Of course I would.
Having a lower level of education doesn't mean the person isn't intelligent. That's silly thinking. Some people just don't have the opportunities available to them to pursue tertiary education, and others just aren't interested in doing so. I understand and accept that.Of course I would marry someone who has a lower education level than myself.
I think it would be stupid to make that a deal breaker, honestly. It has nothing to do with their
personality or the way they love me and can still take care of me..Who cares if they didn't go to college or something...and don't make as much as me..or something. Anyone who wouldn't marry someone for that reason has serious issues. Love is love. You cannot change how you feel just because of their education!I don't really care about their education level. It doesn't measure intelligence to me. If I liked a girl that didn't go to college or even finish it, it wouldn't bother me. It's hard for me to find someone I like, so I'm not going to keep adding crap on my list.
i'd like someone that I can have an intelligent conversation with but sometimes people are just genuinely interested in occupations which don't require a university degree so I would say no education would not factor into it for me.
I voted C. Of course they can be below my education level, but they need to be near my education level. Part of a relationship is engaging in stimulating conversation, but once a person is at or near that level, other things become much more important than any increase in the level of intelligence.
I think this question assumes education level is equal to intelligence and that is not always true.Nope. As long as they are capable of carrying out a mentally stimulating conversation and actually have plans for their future in some capacity (even if it doesn't involve school) I would be fine with it.
below education level, yes.
below intelligence level, no.I don't need a braniac. I don't need a dummy. It really doesn't matter. It didn't matter.
My wife has slightly more college experience than I do (she graduated; I did not) but it never really was an issue.Definitely, but then again that would include people with college degrees. I don't really see myself having all that much in common with [most] people who don't finish high school, though. I mean, it could happen, but I generally think we'd be in different places or have different views on things.
I mean I prefer taht someone has at least a high school diploma but I'm in college and plan on going on to a master's degree. college isn't for everyone and there are successful people who don't go to college.
I don't mind the education level. As long as he's smart, funny, attractive and if there's a connection between him and me, then I don't mind the level :)
As long as they have their high school diploma then there is not big deal. If they are really stupid then I wouldn't.
Absolutely. I plan on having a phd AND a law degree; I don't expect anyone to so as much as I plan on doing lol
If she is working and making money, I don't care much. I'm destined to be a middle-income guy (accounting) and that's more than enough to support my own lifestyle as well as a child's.
Education level doesn't necessarily mean jacksh*t about intelligence level. Hell, TONS of famous and smart people are actually people who have never completed college or even dropped out.
They at least need to be some form of high school graduate. Who knows if after college my mind will change though. I'm going to vote C.
I love this question. Should've come across it 12 years ago, before I DID marry below my educational level.
DON'T DO IT. JUST PACK UP YOUR DIPLOMA CASE AND SEEK THE COMPANY OF YOUR EQUALS.
Ahem. Sorry, but thought you should all have fair warning.Theoretically yes, but if s/he's from a 1st/2nd world country, its not possible to have a lower education level than mine.
Of course I would. Why would you throw your love away just because they don't have the same education level as you or make as much as you.
