Education after marriage can be in the direction of being complimentary to what the husband is doing.. there are so many avenues out there to make a career in then just to work in a office or something like that. Like I know someone who is an embroyologist and the wife was in marketing so she helped him do research and setup an IVF center .
u have a point here but it is something i'm not very confortable with....my personal opinion here. i find it very stiffling if both have to spend all their time together...no matter how compatible or how much they r in love with each other. an education or a career, for me, means developing one's individuality rather than molding it (or brainwahsed to mold it) to suit their spouse/in laws's business/profession to add further value. that choice should be left to the girl....keeping ur example above in mind. but that's just me...i need enuff breathing space and i feel the girl shd choose what she wants for herself...and if that happens to be a totally different field than her spouse...it shd not be a problem.
compatibility should not mean ek doosrey key rang mein rang jana. for me, it's more like adding richness to ur life by developing ur own individuality and still nurturing ur spouse and valuing them for what they are. nurturing is what is hard to find in most marriages😊.
