Tell me seriously............

I think so. Because both of you are something in common. But sometimes love don't care about this. Two totally different people can also make a successful marriage.

Definitely, yes! My mother always told me never to marry beneath my station. I came from an upper-middle-class family and have twice married into poor families and am struggling because of it. I didn't think I had the personality or smarts to be with some doctor or lawyer but sure am wishing I married someone of a higher status now. I think cultural and racial background are also important. I am a Catholic as is my husband. I see so many people at church who attend only when it suits them because both parents aren't Catholic, or only the one parent attends. Actually, in that situation one marriage broke up after many years. My husband is not a strong Catholic (though is parents are) but goes for the sake of the children. He won't get involved or get to know too many people except those who are relatives. There is a disconnection when there are no commonalities in a relationship. True, opposites attract, and sometimes that can be a good thing depending on what traits are opposite. For those who have not had a committed relationship yet, please keep those things in mind when meeting any future partner.
