| I would imagine that personality is more important to a marriage than money.
After all, money is an object, but personality is human. Bill Gates marrying Miss Ethiopia can succeed if both of their personalities are compatable.
I know one couple - the husband owns at least 100 investment properties and runs his own oil company, while the wife came from a rural family who were lucky to have food. The husband is the breadwinner, while the wife provided emotional support and looked after the kids.
They are very happy. The oil man gets a source of human companionship in the unemotional world of oil drilling (try spending a month on an oil rig!), the wife gets a secure future for her kids with a rich husband.
On the other hand, if Bill Gates and Martha Stewart had conflicting personalities, they'd still be unhappy.
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
