Do you think that people should only marry those of equal social and economic status?

Do you think that people should only marry those of equal social and economic status?
At the risk of sounding like an hypocrite - I'm the son of an industrial who married the daughter of another industrial - I don't believe so.
Sure, the equality of economic availabilities can make so that no spouse tries exploit/control the other, but I think that mutual trust and a deep bond are the most important things.
What about you?
