Fascinating insights, Elicia, getting education equality really is so important. It makes sense what you say as well, because it's been found that the most common things people look for when they are looking for a partner, is a similar level of education.
Numerous studies have found that we tend to be inherently attracted to people of similar levels of education, so I can imagine the both of you being so much more highly educated than your classmates could have led to problems, and made you both choose to do what you did.
Great post again, thanks for sharing!
