Typically, women marry up and men marry for looks.

middle-class backgrounds may hold an invisible advantage, in the sense that their upbringing infused them with the cultural capital that is valued and welcomed in white-collar settings.

This basically means that people who were raised middle class do best in a society built and operating on middle class values.

Not if you both are truly devoted to one another and not seeking some financial rip off like some people do regardless of class line

I think money would probably be your biggest worry

You wouldn't want someone who wasn't use to having cash start blowing up your Amex during marriage

Men tend to marry down while women tend to marry up. That is just a natural result of what each gender tend to value in a relationship.
