In the end I think they can be happy with each other in their symbiotic relationship. Education has no bearing on their relationship and they can be happy together. Sandy wanted to go to nursing school so it is obvious that she has a desire to improve herself.

It all depends on what the person is looking for. Since I do not speak swahili or french or German I am not interested in my wife learning these languages. I am only interested in her learning english well, since she already spoke english when we first met. My mother tongue is Spanish but it would be unreasonable of me to ask my wife to learn spanish when the international language is english.

To be successful in marriage a couple should be equally yoked and share common interests. For my wife and I, this includes travel, education, and helping others.

Immaturity = Infidelity is a major cause of divorce.
