finish school, gain financial independence and don't ever lose it.
regardless of the mistakes you make in life at least you will still have that safety net.

Wise words. I was never against women working, but I never wanted my wife to work as raising a family is more important. I know how people behave when your parents are not around, like they treat differently. So, i never wanted my children away from their parents, as both will be working.
I changed my opinion that why a girl must be financial independent as some of cousins marriages are some what bitter but they cannot end it as they are financially dependent on their spouse.
Then, I was not happy with my first job. However, i didn't feel any financial pressure as my wife was working too. Hence, my employee could not exploit me at all. All knew that I was leaving and still they couldn't blackmail me or anything. Also, i know now when I need to marry my 4 years old daughter. Answer is when she has a job.
(as sir Imran said) Arrange marriages mainly occur as we depend on our parents, not only to spend on wedding but also to live in the same house. I just wanted a religious and educated wife, and she was like that. I just saw her from side once (side pose), and just went with it.
I thought how mismatch or wrong an educated person could be? But later we found we have many differences on simple issues. Anyway, i compromised and still believe I can 'mould' her to my standards.
So in the end we have to compromise as we change a lot. For instance, I cannot agree with, 10 years older me. As we cannot agree with our own self, how can we agree with another person.
As my wife and I have common
core concepts, I don't bother the rests.
