Hello again!
Formal education doesn't matter as much as basic intelligence. I have a ridiculous number of advanced degrees because I love learning, but my husband and most of my friends are at no disadvantage because they've only had more normal college or even high school educations. They're intelligent and aware, and therefore wonderful comversationalists. It's rare for a conversation to go to anything I studied in graduate school, so it doesn't matter.

Getting the BR is great! Not only do I appreciate it a lot, but I think you and I are very much on the same wavelength. I just wish I had as many ideas for posting questions as you have!

No I don't think that makes a difference in a relationship because I think that educational papers are just papers and education is from life too. So though I have book smarts, my partner may have land smarts or mechanical smarts. I think as long as each person is happy with the other than the educational certification doesn't matter at all.

I have seen many couples who have good relationships when the lady is an executive and the guy is her driver. I suppose there is a symbiotic need which is being filled. Cheers!!

I don't really care if she's nowhere near my level of education as long as we understand eachother well. As long as we can communicate well. I don't think education can be a basis for a lasting relationship. I even think it will make relationship open to lots of arguments like intelligence, salary and anything related to having a good level of education. It's not like i'm going to ask her questions i learned from school right? As long as she is witty, then that would be enough for me regardless of her level of education.

For me, the education level is not a factor to consider on. It's actually not that important. Instead, what's more important is that both of the person are really serious about the relationship and love each other. Tolerance, respect, accpeting each other's good and weak points will be the core aspect in a relationship. Higher education level is just so that they can find a better job and earn a better living for both of them. As long as two of them are loving each other truly, the other factors are not really important anymore, and they not really have to care so much on what will others think about them.

I don't think difference in educational level matters at all in a relationship. That is just surface stuff and the real meat of a relationship lies beneath that, in the love, communication, and respect two people have for one another. If they can understand each other on spiritual and emotional levels and have that spark, then educational level should not matter at all.

No, what is important is the person...not the person's education. I have a college education and my husband quit school and joined the military. He was a general contractor for over 30 years and is much better than I am at math...but I am better with computers than he is. He's also a very talented motorcycle builder and can repair anything so his skills actually outweigh my education. Most importantly, he makes me laugh and makes life worth living.
