Education and ability are important factors to consider in choosing a mate. The more education a man has the better he can provide for his family. In some societies, women are beginning to contribute equally with men in supporting the home. Even though a wife does not assume responsibility for financial support, her educational level should approximate that of the husband if there is to be intellectual compatibility, full communication, and mutual respect. If her educational level is much below that of her mate's, he way consider her role to be that of a servant and there may be greater temptation for him to be attracted to another woman on a professional level.

Intellectual ability sometimes compensates for the lack of equality in education. It makes possible individual progress and allows for mental and cultural compatibility between husband and wife.

In some cultures, attitudes concerning the role of men and women are changing. In the past, women were strickly mothers and homemakers and were not considered to need a formal education. They learned cooking, housekeeping, and motherhood from their own mothers. Men also learned trades as apprentices, often from their father's. Farmers and carpenters were trained on the job.

Modern professions require more formal education. Since women are beginning to enter various professions, their training must be appropriate to their future plans. The level of the wife's education is no longer limited to cultural enrichment but is looked upon as essential for a profession. A man and woman who plan to marry should consider each other's education and ability in connection with their concepts of each other's roles as partners.
