Do you Consider Educational Level during Marriage

[S-D-M]

She must be CHK and As in that field.

[zulaika]

Probably one of the last things i'd consider when getting married inshallah.

For those saying that their partner should have a masters or phd, be assured some of the most fascinating and brilliant people that I have met have never been beyond compulsory education. At the end of the day what does a degree really prove? that someone has the ability to be taught, research or write an exam.

indeed...

not knockin' education but when it comes getting things DONE......performance over PAPER!!!!

i seen graduates from the school of hardknocks hustle, make that paper and bring home the bread for their familis(legally of course)

[DisplacedDiraac]

^Not really. I like educated nomads

What the difference between a smart guy and an educated nomad?

Not only does the educated nomad know exactly where it'll rain, he heads there barefoot and without spending a single penny

[marcassmith]

performance over PAPER!!!!

Heh, the idea that educated people are all theory and no action is very much contested and used by those who supposedly lack the papers to justify their shortcomings. I must admit, you are slightly overplaying this stereotype.

[union]

My wife must have comparable education and a good career (not just a job). I'd even be willing to settle for a lesser grade in the looks department than marry an illiterate.

[SahanGalbeed]

Preferably BEFORE marriage , alright ?Once you're married ,I can't imagine anybody would seek a divorce becoz of the spouse failing his/her grades

Personally, I like guys that I can hold intellectual conversations with even if it means that he is smarter than me...as long as I can learn a thing or two from him. And guys who Im smarter than just friikkin turn me off!!!

So being intelligent doesn't necessarily mean that the person has a degree or has to have a degree in order to be one....I know very few people who are very smart and don't go to college walahi. They do something called 'self-teaching' or 'self-directed learning'...So runta hadii la sheego degree doesn't really matter at all in this world especially these days. Also, who knows where experience, connections, and skills can get you without having a college degree?

Aniga, the reason why Im after college graduates is because with college education...we are prone to be more open-minded about our surroundings and whats going on in this world (yes, I could be wrong but I do believe that). We come across diferent types of people in college. With that said, qof wax garad ah ayuuba yahay ama noqon...Somalis tend to abuse the phrase "Wax garad"...qof badow ah ayee dhahaan "dee kanu waa wax garad, and so and so"


Comprehendo

[Galmeygaag]

well yes, for 2 reasons.

i know what i want in a women but inshallah ALLAH will throw in a few extras lol, neway, related to education.

reason 1, so that she can be a good teacher for our kids, my mom possessing high school, college and a bachelor degree really made me a grade A student and also developed my ability to question things since i was usually getting an logical answer based on Education and not heresay, its also important for kids not to be dismissed every time their curiosity gets the best of them. i actually still debate with my mother although now she does not help me with H/W anylonger but she still got the upper hand, its good thing to relate knowledge to your parents it will keep you atentive and what not, basically there are countless other reasons.

reason 2, she can get a good income if she has a higher education this means if things get hard for me she will be my partner in income generating, this may also teach the daughters that self dependence is something they must acquire even if it is not always needed at the presence of Me, their brother or Husband.



Education is just concentrated theoretical life experience of individual subjects, its hardly something that will play a more important role than character, this is why i dont say silly stuff like "intelectual conversation". tell me how that convo would be between an Engineer and a Phsycologist LOL what a joke.

[OliveOil]

Dude I understand what you r saying...you don't need to get at me and I totally agree with you. I, too, look for someone with a higher education for the same reasons you have mentioned above. I just didn't mention them...because qofba wax baa u cad...we r all different, magaratay?

All I'm saying is that education gives us the knowledge of the world around us. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on everything surrounding us. It develops in us a way of looking at life and everything that matters...what good will your wife be/do without having the basic/fundamental knowledge of the world/people?? Tell me....being just a 'book smart' isn't good enough for me...I want someone who can find a use for it marka walaalkiis, in case you want to jump down my throat....'look before you leap'...again, everything you have mentioned are very crucial when it comes to finding someone compatible or even batter....tell me, who wouldn't want that? Trust me, Im no simpleton


Btw, an Engineer and Psychologist can have 'intellectual' conversations outside of their fields/professions

[Abdi_westldn]

Definitely my future wifey needs to be well rounded in all matters ranging from education to religion, as well as come from a well of family non of that public housing living xalimo for me I want a rich bij.

[Berke]

I want me an uneducated wife. She is got to be very pretty and extremely insecure too but not to the point when she will need anti depressants to function normally. Just a dumb bimbo.

[Galmeygaag]

Lol your not a simpleton darling, didnt even disagree with you, i just posted my view thats all. you made a good point, being book smart is useless if you cant apply it, even if you dont get the job up to your level you should still get a job and use what ever skills u have picked up in life, who knows what waits for u down the road maybe your dream job. i think women should definitely take your point, you hit the nail on its head sis.

dont look for "interlectual conversation" lol but a guy who can make it happen even if it means driving the bus, smart or uneducated your husband wont spend hours having a convo anyway.


personally i would only talk to my wife before sex, whiles she cooks food, and maybe some small chitchat. the rest will be for planning our future, living it and swim in it Lol.

indeed, 7min talking with 3 hours intervals , the fact that women speak in an emotional language 90% of the time just makes it hard for me to understand thus fortunately easier for me to ignore. my bro invented this sound that i can use periodically, it will act as an natural inhibitor that means neither No or Yes. its extremely efficient and will exhaust her.

FYI kids and monkeys are better to conversate with than Naago !!!
