Is it foolish to prefer a great career over a great spouse? I just feel careers are more rewarding. you?

Do what your heart desires as long as you are content with it then so be it. Hardly anything is forever, it's rare for a couple to be life long partners, a career can end just as easily as a relationship. Money comes and goes, just like a relationship... everything is a cycle it's not too far different from one another. All if everything will give you stress and headaches, maybe happiness here and there that's just how life is. Nothing selfish about what you want. You are your number one priority in life, anything else that comes along the way will be secondary.

If a career is more rewarding to you than a spouse, go for it! Do what makes you happy. I would say, however, that your feelings may change over time, so try not to burn any bridges. If you choose a career now, you can always change your mind later and still get married. If you get married now, you can always develop a career later. It's not foolish if it's important to you.

I do not find it wrong, foolish or selfish to find in life what will make you happy. This is your life and you need to live it the way you want to. Do not count out a good spouse just because others cannot stay married to each other. A marriage is what the two people in it make of it. Having both a great spouse and a great career is wonderful.

A great spouse can give you the ambition to work harder to achieve what you really want in your life. Money can't buy you Love and Happiness

omg.

To a great extent what you said is true. Career gives you power and food. But whom do you show that power to when there is no one around? Try eating alone for a long time. You wont feel like enjoying the food after some time.Even when you have numerous friends, when the real time comes they will join their family to celebrate and enjoy. That is when a spouse steps in. When there is no one to quarrel or talk to when you get home, being a social being, humans can get a bit bored. And when you reach old age? then the role of a good spouse is beyond words. Anyway thinking like that is not selfish or wrong. Till you meet your dream spouse this attitude is the best!

Miami, when you graduate 6th grade and then the HS, you will understand things that look like Calculus to you right now. Concentrate on school and career now and the rest will come when you are mature enough to be a wife and a mother.
