I have said this before, there is nothing wrong with asking for specific things in your spouse. I demanded few things and MA i got everything that i wanted in my husband. I wanted to marry a doctor because I hail from a family of doctors. I wanted someone who could blend and understand where we are coming from. Culturally I wanted someone of the similiar background because I wanted my life to be easy not trying to figure out what the other person is trying to say or the family is trying to do. MA I got that too.
My husband says he is the luckiest person in this world. I am a good wife and I know this because I go above and beyond from what a girl living in a huge city with minimal facilities can do. Its okay to ask for something you see will help you in the future. But don't make it the only reason to marry that person. I love my husband. Right now he doesn't make much because he just started his career. The minute he steps in the house, his food is ready in front of him. I asked for something that I wanted in my spouse but I didn't just marry him for that. I do a lot for his career and he and his family truly appreciates me for that.
Do what you think is best for you, don't get opinion about your life from people here. Everyone thinks differently.
