Forbes.com has a fascinating counterpoint between Michael Noer and Elizabeth Corcoran. Michael advises, “whatever you do, don’t marry a career woman.” Elizabeth retorts, “Don’t marry a lazy man.”

Michael advises, “Marry pretty women or ugly ones, short ones or tall ones, blondes or brunettes. Just whatever you do, don’t marry a woman with a career.”

Elizabeth retorts, “The experts sited in his story think that professional women are more likely to get divorced, to cheat and to be grumpy about either having kids or not having them. But rather than rush to blame the woman, let’s not overlook the other key variable: What is the guy doing?”

Are professional women more likely to get divorced? Are men threatened by confident successful women? What’s it like to be in a relationship where the woman earns more than the man, and works longer hours? There are benefits to being married and there are benefits to being single, which do you prefer? Send your comments.
