MARRYING DOWN

This article is from mybrother.com
Most independent, successful Black women have high expectations when seeking men, and rightfully so. A lot of energy is required and expended when striving for goals, and women wish to have someone who is equally yoked financially, professionally, and spiritually. This is not only fair, but expected - since most women will not tolerate supporting a man who hasn't matured, or one who is slow in bringing his share to the table.This is the most troubling problem with successful women and in particular women of color. The world revels in your accomplishments. However it is here that you begin to lose sight of the Big Picture. Is life about using your accomplishments as a line of demarcation? Successful women have even coined a new phrase “Marrying Down” to describe engaging in nuptials with a man who is not your equal in education and pay. Sure it is nice to have a dual income household with above average salaries but men tend to look at other attributes for picking the ideal mate.

Well, this is my take on the issue....
I do not have problem, actually it would be an ideal situation to be the bread winner of the household. However, I would not punish my mate for being more successful than I. I think It would be more of an ego thang. Black women marry down often because of a lack of options. In a perfect world we could be on equal playing feilds, but the reality is someone will have a higher income. If a man makes less money than his wife, does he give up his role as KING of the Household?
