Marry well. Yep, I said it. 

Are you rolling your eyes?

Wondering if you clicked on the wrong post?

Were you confused because Equipt Women is about empowering women, not sending them on a quest for financial security via someone else? Or, maybe you don’t aspire to ever be married.

I hear you.

But stay with me.

I married well. and it was the single best decision I’ve ever made.

Not because he had money. 

Not because he had a big title, a trust fund, or a five-year plan.

He didn’t. He had none of those things.

What he did have was this:

Eye contact.

Patience.

Encouragement.

A warm heart.

A deep belief in me.

A real desire to partner in life—not compete in it.

So when I say “marry,” I don’t mean rings and registries.

I mean: commit to someone who expands your life.

And when I say “well,” I don’t mean rich. I mean right  .Right for your ambition.

Right for your heart. Right for the future you’re building.

Because here’s the thing: A partner can either lift you—or limit you.

“Marrying well” is about CHOOSING your partner – not simply being chosen – choosing to be with the person you love and who loves you ­­­– without conditions or score-keeping. It’s about being in a partnership of equals. A partnership that respects each other’s strengths, weaknesses, contributions, and perhaps most of all, one’s ambitions.

By marrying well, you select a partner who celebrates your successes instead of being ­intimidated by them.

By marrying well, you experience unconditional love and support instead of resentment, competition, and jealousy.

By marrying well, your life gets bigger and richer. You are catapulted to the life of your dreams that you create together.

Life is short and messy. Choose carefully.
