I don't think education should be considered a barrier when two people are really and truly in love with one another.

I finished college but fell in love with my late husband and he didn't finish college but he was a super hard worker and a very good provider and father.He'd bring home some of his paperwork and I'd help him with his business.

I often wondered if I hadn't finished college and he did would it had made a difference.But I don't think it would've.

I have a friend who says that he is looking for someone who is on his 'level'. I'd love to tell him what he sounds like when he says this. I think that if you get along, can converse, have much in common, you can make things work. I've chatted with men who didn't finish HS who were very intelligent and one Phd who was dumber than water. I don't think that we should limit ourselves.professor

I see most answers have been, education makes no difference.
As most know I was married at 17 so of course only have a
GED level education. However I learned so much being a wife,
mother, cowgirl, cook and ranch-hand . But I do feel that
no matter the education you need to be able to have some
things to converse about with your life partner or things
get boring real fast. NO, being great in the bedroom is not
enough.

education is not only taken at school

someone can be well raised in his/her family or well educated in life or work too

but education levels must be close to each other or else couples don't understand eachother/ what they mean

it's more important what one understands than what you say

I was lucky enough to be married to a beautiful lady for a long, long time. I have multiple college degrees and she finished a trade program in Canada. All of my married life I alway felt she was smarter than I. Education comes in many forms. She was far more intelligent, smart and wiser than me.

It is how each of us approach the relationship. If you treat each other as equals, it will work.

I've learned that being educated is not proven by a sheep skin or certificate hanging on the wall. I'm sure there are many that know those with 4 or 6 year degrees that are "book smart" but have not a clue what being educated truly covers.

This is very true. When I worked with medical students, & even the students I work with now... they're HIGHLY intelligent people, but had no clue where to even sign their names.

If education level makes a difference... I'm in big trouble! uh oh

Very true fireliter, We learn many things as we age if we
keep our minds open and alert. Also I believe we each possess
one or more gifts that we can share.

I don't think it's as much dependent on 'education' levels as it is on 'intelligence' levels... & that doesn't necessarily mean education. wine
