I am DEFINITELY curious as to how this poll turns out
Thank you for making this thread, Arwen!!!
For me, personally, it doesn't matter if the guy doesn't have a high-paying job, or that he doesn't have titles attached to his name. Fortune, prestige, fame...that's all quite superficial. What matters to me is that he loves what he's doing, and quite passionate about it
whether he's rolling in the dough, making just enough, or barely enough, but doing something that makes him sick and tired and angry, that's just sad and pitiful o.o;
However, i also consider what the guy would feel if i do make more money than he does. I don't like the idea of bruising a man's ego at all. If he's okay with me making more, and doesn't internally feel envious nor resent me for it, then all is well
after all, if we do marry each other, what's mine is his, and vice versa
i'm all about teamwork and partnership. Once we exchange vows and say "I do" for life, i stop being just me, and he, being just himself. We become one, and we will be sharing everything. He has my back, and i have his. And i don't want us to ever argue, specially about money. What matters to me more is that we grow strong and deep in our love and relationship with Christ, and then, with ours
with GOD as our center, we'll get it right, no matter what happens. It's 'coz HE is the One who truly provides for both of us after all, out of HIS awesome love and grace
i don't want us to ever lose sight of this truth.
