Marriage of an Educated Woman and Uneducated Man

Is it good for an educated girl to marry uneducated man?

Things are very change nowadays, can an educated lady marry an uneducated man?

On a certain level, your question is vague because there are different definitions of education:
-  Some people believe that anybody who is not a graduate is not educated.
- Others might feel that an educated man is one who speaks English well.
- Others look beyond that at the way you comport yourself, the level of your thinking.
- Others will point at the JSCE as the minimum qualification rcommended by the ministry of education for workers.
- If the woman is a professor or medical doctor, a "common" graduate or HNd holder may seem uneducated to her.
- If you are a rich man and you speak English, everybody believes you're educated .

However, the central issue is clear.  You want to know if a woman should cave in and marry a woman who hasn't recieved up to her level of education.  Someone who probably knows less than she does, is less exposed, more crude, maybe doesn't even speak English well.  Someone she may not be able to take to social functions because he's "not up to her standards".  Someone who's friends she might despite because they are too "local".

So what's your say?

Kai! that is the original recipe for disaster!

For any woman who wants to venture on that kind of perilous journey, i wish her good luck!

  I think this advice should go to d men, because some women would only b too happy to find a man they can control like that!

It's okay if there's true Love.

I'ld start by asking those who believe it's okay just one question. If it were you, would you venture into such? Your answer is your true opinion on this issue.

At 1st, all might appear to be well because of that crazy emotional feeling called "LOVE" but I tell you that by the time the true test of marriage life starts to set in, then those things that never mattered would not just start to matter but will also become the BANE of the marriage.

So please think twice before embarking on such a journey.

I won't advise it for any reason not even the so called yeye love.................babes that do it, most of the time do it because
1. The guy is a money-miss road  or
2. She's touching distance from menopause

Communication matters a lot in any relationship. So how are you going to carry on a meaningful intellectual discussion with an illiterate guy? What are you going to talk about? The price of fish in the market?

Let me also add here that if the man has a teachable heart and has the zeal to improve, why not? He's not being educated earlier in life might be due to situations beyond his control. I think this should also be considered if not, I maintain that whosoever should think twice before embarking on such a journey.

True @Klex

But lets views this issue from the pespective of love. We know that love is all encompassing and it knows no bound nor boundaries and if true, love can overcome all things including illitracy or race or beauty or wealth or fame... even the atomic bomb.  Love is the greatest thing there is, u can rely on it for succour and comfort and shelter when guys like IAH & De-King come calling.

To marry an uneducated man is not too ideal, Cos they says let what belong to cease go to cease & what belong to God go to God. illiterate can not Mach an eluting person.it just be like soup without salt.

Have heard and seen few businessmen who have big business but uneducated and married to an educated woman. Infact some of these women are career women.

To answer your question, i think the marriage can work better if it's the opposite direction.
