Ever thought about tying the knot with a lawyer? Maybe you are wondering, how is it to marry a lawyer? Well, marrying a lawyer might be a judicious decision, particularly for those who hold high esteem for an attorney and who appreciate the attributes and facets of life where legal practitioners excel. For now, here are my 5 Reasons Why You Should Marry a Lawyer.
But wait! Before we go into details about the perks and benefits associated with marrying a lawyer, allow me to shortly introduce myself first.
I’m Rai, obviously, the blogger behind Journey with Atty. I have been a lawyer for eight years now, married to Kyle, a lawyer too. He is my long-term boyfriend, (12 years to be exact), and now my husband for about five years.
Now, since you are here, then I suppose you are one of the few, who are interested in knowing what is it like to marry a lawyer, and what are the reasons why you should marry a lawyer. But then, let me make it clear, I am not encouraging you to marry someone because he is a lawyer. In fact, I am a believer that a person should NOT marry someone on account mainly of his profession. But, if you are in a dilemma on whether or not you should date or marry someone who is a lawyer, then you have come to the right place.
Now, without further ado! what are the 5 reasons why you should marry a lawyer!
1. Intellectual Bootcamp At Home
You get to flex those brain muscles every day! My first of the 5 reasons why you should marry a lawyer. Undoubtedly, if you marry a lawyer, you will enjoy thoughtful, in-depth discussions about a wide range of interesting topics. Indeed, talking to my husband feels like we can discuss anything under the sun, and never run out of exciting topics to explore.
2. A Network of Distinguished Professionals
Marry a lawyer, and suddenly you’re part of the cool crowd. Your social circle is bound to expand, bringing with it boundless possibilities for personal and professional growth. It goes without saying that when you marry a lawyer, his contacts and connections will become yours as well. To tell you honestly, lawyers do have a lot of friends. Not to mention, a lawyer’s profession requires to work with people. It may even require that we learn to network. So brace yourself, soon you’ll be mingling with the Who’s Who at every swanky event, and when you are in need of something, voilà, you have an army of well-connected friends who would be willing to help anytime.
3. Personal Troubleshooter On-Demand
If you ask me, this is probably one of the greatest and my favorite perks and a good reason why you should marry a lawyer too. That awesome legal eagle you married? They’re like a knight in shiny legal armor, swooping in to save the day.
Honestly, I am guilty of this. I do most of the time when confronted with stressful matters, rather than taking all the effort to handle the matters, I simply find a way to inform my husband of the details of what is stressing me, and from there, he will take charge of it, and before I knew it ”Ta-da!” he settled everything for me.
4. Guaranteed Right to Speak and be Heard
Yes, indeed another reason why you should marry a lawyer. Now, contrary to popular belief, arguing with your lawyer spouse doesn’t mean a courtroom scenario and that you’ll be cross-examined in your own home. On the contrary, they believe in the art of peaceful negotiation. The truth is, the life of a lawyer is already so challenging in itself. Lawyers do already have lots of issues to handle, may it be work-related or personal matters. We don’t want more issues at home. Lawyers generally believe in reducing conflict as much as possible, understanding your concern in its entirety to the best that they can, and settling things fast and in the easiest way. Yes, your lawyer spouse will mostly be always open to a compromise.
Believe me, with a lawyer spouse, your right to rant and be stressed will always be respected. Your lawyer spouse will never unreasonably shut you up, without allowing you to speak first. Just give them a well-structured argument, and you might find them conceding to your point. (oh! well, or maybe, they just might be letting you win, to buy peace! .)
5. Rights Defender Turned Life Partner
The same person who battles it out in court will fight ferociously on your behalf. Lawyers are advocates by nature. We are the defender of our clients’ interests. In a marriage, this trait translates to a partner who will stand up for you and defend you at all costs, no matter what. Trust me.
Lastly, marrying a lawyer may seem like an endless episode of “Suits” but remember, marriage doesn’t run on legal jargon alone. While these quirks may be appealing, however, please bear in mind that a harmonious relationship transcends occupational ties, it goes beyond professional skills but instead beats to the rhythm of shared values, aligned interests, and the unwavering pillars of mutual respect and love.
