Kind of curious, many women who are looking to marry will look at the man's job first, because financial success is a huge factor for attraction.
However I feel like in real life I've seen a lot more couples marry when he wasn't established yet or still in the beginnings of his career. It seems like these actually make for good relationships because it's more apparent the woman is with him for him, stayed with him through uncertainty, rather than judging based just on his job/salary from the beginning. Plus when people marry in their mid/late 20's, most are at the beginning of their careers anyway.
Married RPW, how many of you married when your husband wasn't established, or maybe even struggling (for instance trying to finish a degree or an entrepreneur)? Did you see an effect of your love and loyalty on his success later in life? Did his lack of financial success (at least at the time of marriage) affect your attraction to him?
