    The reason it is worth commenting on

    Is because women almost always marry up. Speaking for myself and most men I’ve talked to, they don’t care a whole lot about their partner’s career. But ask any woman, and you bet she cares. She cares enough to make it one of the first questions she asks a guy on the first date.

    The newsflash isn’t that these women are getting married. It’s that these women are marrying down. That truly is something rare enough to comment on.
