Would You Marry Someone Below Your Status?

I tend to believe that if a person is seeking out status then they are not looking for love. Where there is love status should not be a factor. As when you love someone you would not be looking at what other think about the person in your life as an important factor.

i cant really tell but i would prefer someone professional like me. someone whos decent and goodlooking enough. i wouldnt like to settle for anything less.

I think for someone who is in love, it will not matter. But as they go on they will soon realize the hardship. But if they are strong or true to what they feel. They can work things out. For me it will definitely be an issue. But if I really love him, it will not be the cause of the break up. Or it will not be a reason not to marry him.

Why not. Love has nothing to do with status. If I love somebody, I don't care about her status. What I care is just her love. Status is nothing for me. It contributes nothing but gap. So I never care of it. Just live our relationship without being bothered with it.

For me,both things have a point If you are practical woman and educated and belong in the higher status in life then you should marry a person that is in your same level or higher than you.And for those who are in the lower society they, just get married of people in their same level.But for me,it matter and not because if i love the person truly i won't matter marrying to a person who are below in my status but as long as he not really a know how person.

I would marry for love no matter what the person's status is! Those things mean nothing to me as long as the person treats me well and we love one another!

Love is the most sophisticated matter in life. Love is really hard to decode. Say, there are two persons. Person A is a boy, person B is a girl. They hardly talk to each other and suddenly, 10 years later, when there was a class gathering, they got married. That's really very hard to explain. Likewise for this topic that you're discussing. Usually, people marry people who are on the same status as them but there's a rare chance that some people will marry people who are not on the same kind of social status as them. Love is an unexplainable matter. I have not loved someone before as I'm not dating currently. It's difficult to say now. I have to see whether I love that person or not.

I would not care about someone's status in life. Status does not make them the kind of people they are. i would marry someone because I loved them and wanted to make a future with. Status would have nothing to do with it.

I remember a quote saying "All's fair in love and war" or something like that. Some people can be desperate but I believe most people disregard the "status" of a person whether financial, social, educational etc. Why? It's because they love each other and when you fall in love, you would accept the person for whatever circumstances he/she has or is in. We all have free will so we have to use it, we're not forced into doing anything we wouldn't want to do, are we? I myself did not look at my fiance's status in life. I just accepted him because he is true to his words and he loves me which is all that matters.

I will marry someone that I will love and my family would like forever.He should be in the standards of my parents.My parents have high expectations for him.He should have same interests, nationality and be businessman.

heloo.... Ya this is a nice question according marrying some one below our status is not a bad thing if you loved some one then you must not see their status and status is not the permanent thing it may be with us today but may not be with us tomorrow here character is the important thing if he/she had a good character no more hesitation and no more character just marry them.......

I think it depends on the person with the lower status, for example, if a girl is from a poor family, but is really intelligent and quite pretty, even if she's poor, she's still a good catch. but if a girl is really pretty, famous, and rich, but doesn't even know how to cook, open a computer, or drive a car, and gets failing grades in school then i think it's not worth it.

I think if you really love the person you will do it. When 2 people get married, it doesn't mean that they will live happily ever after, sure they will still undergo some trials and difficulties in life, and because of that one of them will look for a better job, and because of that they can support their family. I think what you're talking about is based on the views of common fights of a couple. It is normal for us because as what I have studied in sociology, people nowadays are marrying the same status as they have so that their problems will be lessen. I forgot what theory was that but I'm very sure that I have read that.

I can understand how this might cause trouble for a relationship, being of different statuses, one having money and the other not. I know that if I were the one to have the money, I might even question if the guy is using me for it. BUT I think if it's true love, it can work out. I would marry below my "status", pretty much because I have no status. I am definitely lower class, I make less than $20,000 a year. Maybe even less than $15,000, now that I think about it actually. lol. I am not one to care about money, because there's more to life than just money. It would be nice to marry into financial security, not necessarily wealth, but I know that I want to build my own career and education up first, in case my marriage didn't work out..I would at least have my own career to fall back on, financially.

True love doesn't know status, it just is. So, to answer your question...Yes, I would. I think we are further advanced than the 1700's and status just isn't as important as it once was.

Greetings I am a very high standard kind of guy. I have a strict criteria of my future wife (if ever she comes). In terms of intelligence, I would at least want my future wife to have finished college. It is not that I look down on those who don't finish college, it is just that I have a pressing need for intelligent conversation. In terms of social status, I would want my wife to at least have an income that is enough to satisfy her needs. Of course, external and internal beauty is part of my standards. So, technically, I would mind if she is way down south. If it were the other way around, I would be lucky. Hope I was able to answer your question. Have a nice day :)

Well cuz i'm more in to love person i dont care about the status but well i hate lazy a*s people and people throwing it on the others , ok i dont mind my wife to be more succesful as long as i'm not just a burden and i bring money home too (example) - the more the better . I dont think marriage (love one) cares for social status that much , the other way (without love) normally people aim for the highers but well i don't care for that marriage - its for the money and they can get what they deserve later :)
