How perspectives differ among men in different culture... I got a friend who is a professor at a university. She married a man with much less education and jobless. The statue difference didn't affect them or their ego. They were both happy in their places, wife in the university office and lecture rooms and husband at home conquering all the house chores. When I told this to a highly educated guy from the West, he said it was good for them that they found a good match.
