It precludes being a power couple, but high status wealthy men have happily wed their secretary or a school teacher for decades. Especially in the single breadwinner era, this worked fine. The woman was bringing skills like caring for children and cooking, not wealth.

> Let’s start with the fact that professional women find it challenging even to be married—for most, a necessary precondition for childbearing. Only 60% of high-achieving women in the older age group are married, and this figure falls to 57% in corporate America. By contrast, 76% of older men are married, and this figure rises to 83% among ultra-achievers.
To your point, high achieving women don’t have significant value to high achieving men.
