Does it matter to you if your partner is more intelligent?

Intelligence, per se, is impossible to quantify, even using the intelligence quotient scale. This system is only really designed to quantify it with a number, but it is flawed as a system..
I'm intelligent in some aspects, and my missus in others.. Where I lack, she smooths the gaps and vice-versa, it's just part of life, and for us it seems to work well. Don't think either of us are arrogant enough to think either is more clever than t'other..

I had an IQ of 142 last time I looked.
My wife has a benign cyst in her head the size of a tangerine and the memory of a sieve.
Her social intelligence skills and practical mindset far outweigh mine however. And she also has a very nice bum.
So intelligence isn't really one of those things I value particularly highly.

I tend to view intelligence as fluid, needing a context.
One of my mates keeps getting described as intelligent by other people, but in reality he spends time quoting scientific articles that he barely understands.
My wife is a very bright cookie. I could not imagine being partnered to someone I viewed as less intelligent.
The fact she married me does count against her though.

I have three ex-wives who would probably tell you I'm too much in love with myself to give a f*ck...
...so I'm perfect, and?

I hope you are kidding.
It is a myth that the years go by and relationships get boring. Things get much better with time.
Or they end!
Go and talk to her.

I put my wife through college, Degree, then PHD. She is now a Lecturer, teaching Degree, Masters and PHD (supervisor).
Academically, she is the most intelligent in the house by a country mile.
I have little in the way of qualifications.
Doesn't bother me. :roll:
She can't wire a plug. Define intelligent?
