Re: To the Doctor's Wife...just wondering
Marrying any one who has a good steady income will involve a lot of give and take. I married a doctor and I have seen days during his residency when we didnt even have money for diapers because doctors at that stage make pittance.
And yes you do get a more comfortable life than some, but that isn't all there is to life. If money ends up being the focus of the couple or the family you are losing the most significant focus, being a family.
Any person who is hard working, will find themselves working long hours. I have a family of engineers, accountants and doctors and all the wives have the same complaints..our hubbies are never home!
Its not what the husband does that should matter. It should be what the persons personality is like. An average salary guy could potentially keep you happier than a rich one can. He has more time to give you and where he lacks in money, he may make up in gifting you with lots of love.
The only thing that being a doctors wife seems to have, in the eyes of parents anyway, is prestige. Parents want to be able to say..."Hamara damaad doctor hai!"
I hope you find a wonderful loving, caring guy...doctor or not!!
