people have a high tendency to marry those in the same professions. Police officers marry other police officers. Nurses marry other nurses. Doctors marry other doctors. It seems like if you want to marry a doctor, your best bet is to become a doctor in order marry one.
It's kinda like situationship, a lot of people have friends/partners who they work or go to school together because it's convenient for both and you get to know people because you have the same interests or something to relate to except with schools and temporary work places once one of you leaves the relationship is over because it's hard to keep in touch or find time for eachother or whatever the reason is but with nurses and doctors/police officers etc. the situationship basically never ends because it's a long time career and profession people don't get into unless they want to and are passionate about it and In the end it goes from situationship to actually a long time relationship that works because you'll have more time for eachother than with the people that don't work in the same areas as you do. Especially with doctors, they have already so minimal time away from their job so basically only people they have time for are the people they work with (medical staff, be it another doctor or a nurse or whatever people work at hospitals) at least that's how it has always looked to me
Mostly because they are in the same social group/same university or workplace and understand each other's profession better than others. Let's say doctors, they understand each other's busy and unpredictable schedules and also the way of looking and handling cases and people which many people have a difficulty to understand.. and then there are some expectations from family too in some cases, where they express that their son or daughter is an engineer or doctor, they should marry someone from the same field.
Some people meet at work. However, it's not so many either.
Importantly, a female nurse may marry a male doctor, too. When in the same organization, many woman insist on having a partner with a higher rank.
Fir example, I know a female senior manager who married an older guy even higher in the hierarchy of the same organization. Now they are a family of two high-powered professionals and one kid, but I suppose nobody really has time for the kid...
I also know a female senior manager who married an independent visual artist. I think it makes for a more balanced couple.
My sister is a doctor married to a fellow doctor. They met in medical school, and I think that's partly how it happens, or you meet at work or through professional contacts or at professional events. Your professional and sometimes social circle is usually full of people you know professionally. Furthermore, each of you understands what the other deals with as a member of that profession.

The purpose of a relationship is to be understood by others and to understand others and it’s easier to relate to somebody if you share the same background and lifestyle.
For most, work is 1/3 of your life, and 1/2 of your awake time spent awake NOT sleeping.
Statistically, it's one of the best ways to meet people and for some, can also be a part of their out of work social group.
In addition, many women also prefer to date men that are their peers (or a little more professionally developed). This would make sense why female doctors want to date male doctors.
Not everyone marries into thesame job profession. Sometimes they marry thesame profession bc they got stressful jobs that only some people could relate to their hectic schedules, than those other people that would complain that they're never around when their partner are working to provide for their family.
Good way to avoid gold diggers, but men usually don't care about a woman's profession.
Similar struggle and understanding, I am a grad student and up for becoming a scientist. Most women my age who are not grad students avoid me and ghost me upon hearing. They don't want to date men of my age with significantly less income like me. Few female grad students date males but most want a more older stable partner. In scientific fields, most scientist too ends up with other scientists. Nonscientist women also consider those men as nerdy, and undesirable but someone to settle for later in life.
Possibly because they can relate to one another.
For me, I don't think I'd marry someone in my line of work. I'm actually an archaeologist. I've met many female archaeologists, and I've never liked any of them because they're usually ignorant on real world issues and tend to be foul mouthed. The last one I met, who was my supervisor, also lied about me and created false narratives about certain situations that occurred, just so she could get me fired from my job. But that's just me.
I have seen that before a few times. Not very often mind you, but I have seen that before. How do couples meet within the same professional work field and keep things together and strong between them? Your guess is as good as mine. I have to bloody clue. If anything I have questioned about that a few times myself.
It is only good if their profession offers a lot more money than others. I wouldn't marry an cafe worker if I am a cafe worker. (Do you get why doctors marry doctor and politicians marry politicians and etc. Since they know that other half will earn enough if one ends their career due to some issues. )
I study dentistry and the salaries of bacteriologists, nurses and doctors are very good, in addition, specialist doctors are rich, the bad thing is that the women in the health department are promiscuous.
They live in a separate country than the rest of us. It's the medical industry/government racket. We should fly separate social flags to avoid accidental social encounters. Notice all the television shows on tv are about the medical profession or the police justice system. As if the rest of the country doesn't even exist. That's the way many of them act too.
I'm an engineer... most of the people I hung out with in college were studying engineering.
Once I got out of school, everyone at work was an engineer. Not many guys in my life weren't engineers... so it was inevitable.
oh... uh.. guilty. mainly because we can bond over it and we understand each other and our difficulties if something happens at work. we can also suggest things to each other to make things easier, etc...
Because you meet people around you so your pool of candidates are usually similar to yourself. So it's just pure statistics, if you meet mostly doctors and nurses in your life that, you will end up with one as a partner is extremely likely.
It’s who we’re around so we get to know each other and bond.
5 years ago I thought I’d only date civilian men, but the only men I’ve been with were military and worked in the hospital 🤦♀️
Because, nobody understands you or the struggle like you. And someone who deals with the same obstacles/achievements you do will get you. Think about it. You spend a 3rd of your life sleeping and a 3rd working. And the 3rd socializing etc. It makes sense kinda.
Gosh I must be the exception to the rule then, because I'm a forensic scientist and my husband is an architect.
I’m not sure. I guess because they’re work colleagues one of them asks the other one out and things just go from there.
There are a lot of common friends through work. They understand the issues that each other are up against in the profession.
For the same reason work wives/husbands exist. You spend a lot of time at work so you have a shared interest/topics of conversation.
This has broadly not been the case of people I know, but the obvious answer is because those are the people they are around the most.
