When an adult daughter decides to get married, her parents, as a rule, are not always satisfied with the status of the groom. “He is not a match for you, you deserve better, you won’t live with him for long,” - this is a set of phrases that she has to hear. “But why, mom?” - asks the poor daughter, asking a rhetorical question, since not a single answer to which has anything to do with harmonious family relationships: - he is from a bad family; - he is too old or too young; - he is too rich or too poor; - finally, he has no proper education. Surprisingly, the issue of education is still considered as one of the important factors of family well-being. But what is the connection here!? And if previously obtaining a higher education guaranteed at least a higher salary, now often the opposite relationship occurs. In our country, the most complex and most responsible professions, requiring extensive knowledge and excellence in practice, are paid below unskilled labor. Take, for example, a kindergarten teacher, a person who is the second most important person in a child’s life after parents and grandmothers, and who works two shifts for 7 thousand rubles! What kind of education can we talk about, just to pass it to a healthy mother! I'm not talking about teachers and doctors who are literally responsible for people's lives. In terms of payment, they are no one in our world! Sometimes I hear objections such as that a wife will have nothing to talk about with her husband except about everyday things. But is a family really needed to discuss achievements in the field of science over evening tea or to have discussions on philosophical trends and calculate possible options for the development of modern human history? Although in many families this is discussed without any education. On the contrary, highly educated people are often disconnected, as they say, from earthly things, and it is difficult for them to delve into the structure of everyday life. And conflicts in the family, as practice shows, occur mainly on domestic grounds, when the wife, for example, once again cannot stand the sight of abandoned socks, a dirty plate left behind and a bin of garbage not taken out... However, like the husband... The next argument that they love bringing parents means that the daughter will be ashamed to go out with him “into society,” where it is customary to compete in wit, a sense of humor and to shine with a broad outlook. Added to everything else is the ability to dress for a given situation and skills in handling cutlery. In other words, education here means a certain level of culture, which is not always associated with education. You can have several higher educations and not know how to behave at the table. Proven! Conversely, a person without education can look highly cultured if he follows the rules of etiquette. Indeed, a common situation is when the first charm of falling in love wears off, and the wife begins to get annoyed by slurping at the table, picking her nose, slang expressions, etc. And he listens to the wrong music, and watches stupid movies. In order to understand whether you accept this person as such or not, you need to live together for at least three weeks. Ancient Greek myths, for example, the myth of Psyche, tell us about the role education plays in family life. She was born into a royal family and had many virtues: she had beauty, intelligence, kindness, she knew how to sew, embroider, dance, sing, play music, i.e., she was very educated. But when she was married by the son of the goddess Aphrodite Eros, it soon became clear that their union had broken up. And only after Psyche passed 4 tests of Aphrodite, aimed at acquiring the qualities necessary for a woman for family life, were they able to be together. The myth says that education... has no effect on happiness in family life. However, this is just a professional position. And if you want, you can argue with her. Together with Yulia Vasyukova
