Now-a-days professions are so vast. And people don't remain in the same profession all the time. They have flexibility in doing any type of work. So if a girl marries a guy who is an Accountant , tomorrow he could be a Business Manager. If she marries a guy who is a Artist , tomorrow he may be a Property Agent. So what is important is not the profession but the ability to earn a type of living that is good for their families. For example if the wife does night duty , the husband could be the one who does day duty , so that they can complement each other well. Professional similarity is not so important if they can adjust to their partners profession even if they have completely different and rare professions.
My girlfriend and I are both entrepreneurs. She's into coffee shop while I run a specialty chocolate shop. We had some fun like we share ideas. We discuss mostly about business. We would talk nonstop about staff management, customers, strategy, chocolates, coffees. We had fun. But lately, we are both busy so we decided to lay it low. Like she's expanding her cafe (She has three branch and opening another one) while I am also busy on my own.
But relationship-wise I guess we are very much compatible.
I don't think it's a bad thing... it gives you something in common that you can talk about and swap experience and marriage is a partnership not a competition so success should be celebrated not shadowed.
My husband and I work for the same company. He started 4-5 years after I did in an entry level and has worked his way up to earning the same amount then a bit more than I do and I'm so proud of him. We challenge each other and give different perspectives on our projects but it's never in a negative light
It can be a good thing because you both have something to talk about. But again, i tend to notice is that men date down meaning that your profession does not matter to him. Women on the other hand put much emphasis on it. They prefer a man who is settled into his career, can hold his own and someone who support when times get rough.
I don't see how having the same profession would be a dealbreaker or problematic for anyone. In fact it's great to have someone you can talk to about work who would understand. Sometimes it's hard to explain things in my line of work. If I had a guy who worked in a similar field or the same field they would understand better.
u My husband and I are both teachers and it's working out for us. We work at different schools though. If you're not the type of people who are always trying to one-up each other, nothing bad is going to happen.

I want to be a professional actor so I would be fine with marrying someone who also shared that goal.
I would love it. Gives you both something to talk about and discuss.
From a relationship coaching lens, two people working in the same field has absolutely no bearing on how successful (or not) their relationship or marriage will be. None. And I say this with 10 years and 500 clients worth of experience.
Same profession I think is good (something in common) but maybe not if you are like directly working together day after day. To see that much of the other person all the time is hard on ANY relationship. Everyone needs some time apart.
If it happens it happens, but I'd rather marry someone of a different profession (or at least a different branch of it). I just want to hear about work other than my own.
Teachers marry teachers, cops marry cops etc.
My wife and have completely different jobs.
if you'd be professional... like.. a designer, an architect, a doctor or something if that sort... it'd be really awesome...
It will create problems especially if one is more successful and famous. I mean other person may be not jealous but feeling low self esteem
I would like my boyfriend/husband to have the same profession as I have... I think we would get along well. If we get along on other aspects, then the common profession shouldn't be a problem.
Probably not. I haven't met any female engineers that I liked.
never thought about it
it would be perfect.. i plan to marry a girl from the same profession.. the other person wouod understand the demands of the profession and be emphasize with ur work issues
I would not do that hahaha
not good, for the most of the cases
I love to be house husband like in Ki n Ka 😂😂😂
I wouldn't like it.
I don't care if he is doing the same work or not
