An indispensable factor for a harmonious life between husband and wife is equality of status. However, when some men and women who are not well-matched get married, their status will be unequal due to the difference between rich and poor, leading to a disharmonious situation in which one party is "arbitrary and authoritarian".

A poor man marries a rich woman and becomes a "slave"

Men who are not rich or even poor can always "become the master" early. Compared with ordinary people, poor men's congenital conditions are not good. As the old saying goes: "born in sorrow," they will do their best to make their families and themselves live a good life. The hard-working spirit of poor men can often impress some wealthy daughters.

In the eyes of these wealthy ladies, poor men are more honest and dedicated than ordinary people, and their diligent character is easier to "control". Therefore, lucky poor men can climb high branches. However, marrying a rich young lady to a poor man is indeed based on emotion, but the relationship between husband and wife will be restricted by objective conditions.

The rich girl has been pampered since she was a child, and her daily behavior always shows the posture of "opening her mouth when she reaches for clothes, food and food", while the poor man who works hard and does not complain has no choice but to obey her orders. Unexpectedly, the couple's combination of a poor man and a rich woman formed a "master-servant" relationship.

This kind of "master-servant" couple has great disadvantages. When a poor husband indulges his rich wife's "dictatorship" because of his low self-esteem, his status, and even the status of his parents, will be reduced. Too much indulgence can lead to forgetfulness, and a rich wife may have an indifferent attitude towards married life, which may lead to a marriage becoming a complete "master-servant" relationship.

Poor women marry rich men and become "accessories"

Most rich men want to find a poor female wife, because a poor female wife can be controlled by them. As long as you choose the right person and let her manage the housework, you can earn money and work hard outside with peace of mind. However, many poor women daydream about sparrows turning into phoenixes, but there are also some conscientious poor women who want to become "housekeepers". This kind of poor female wife has a name, "housekeeper".

"Housekeepers" are mostly chosen by wealthy men after careful screening and assessment. In fact, this kind of marriage is full of "master-slave" flavor from the beginning. The "housekeeper" exists to manage the family affairs. It is not much different from the housekeeper, except for the addition of a marriage certificate.

When rich men have a safe "housekeeper", they can not only continue to work hard in their careers, but also "play with women" outside. As a result, the poor girl has been holding the title of husband and wife in name only. She is more like an accessory than the main wife.

The difference between rich and poor should not determine the status of a couple

Whether a poor man is paired with a rich woman or a poor woman is paired with a rich man, the status of a couple should not be affected by the difference between rich and poor. Since you have chosen a relationship, you must respect it. If the relationship between husband and wife is graded due to objective conditions, then the mentality of superiority and inferiority between husband and wife will override love. When love does not occupy the "main position", it will become very empty and will be broken over time.
