Do you need to be equals in order for love to work?
Not at all. Being married has taught me so much. He is opposite me but we blend like two hands on the same torso. If success dictates ur level of intimacy then ur shallow and ur relationships are doomed – Ms. Johnson
Money do not have to be equal, neither do education, but morals yes. the other things can be enhanced later. but morals are your belief, and if they’re not the same someone can get hurt. – Renea
Honestly yes. I feel like you have to be able to give the things that you expect from somebody else. It’s important to stride for your equal, that way they can’t look down on you and you won’t feel like they are a burden. – LaShaunda
I do, Im in a marriage now where my wife makes a significant more amount of money than I do and she waste no time in showing it every chance she gets. – Dee
no… i dnt thain they have to be your equal in all those aspects…. cause some of the least “educated” ppl are the smartest, and some of the poorest ppl are the “richest” and morals are beliefs…. if you belive something, that’s pretty much what you live by – Terricka
I want some one who’s on point n focus..just like me.. – Red
Similar morals yes, equal education and money not necessarily because depending on the career one person may need less or more education to have success in that specific career. Alot of jobs do training from within as well so formal education isn’t always as necessary to some people. It’s good to strive for equal within relationship, but I think it’s more about being able to compliment your partner, the ying to that persons yang. Being able to click. – Jeramy
