I think by extraordinary you mean successful or rich or both.

Not Op, but a good marriage will work wonders in a woman's life like very little else will.

If a woman does marry, unfortunately, her marriage tends to define her than not.

I just feel sad for our society.

I do not consider the princes extraordinary. They are handsome men who were born into money. Big freaking deal.

Obama is extraordinary and so was Reagan. However, I would not want a president for a husband. It is too much stress for me. So maybe I am not extraordinary enough.

My husband is extraordinary to me because he meets almost all my expectations for a spouse, however high or low such expectations may seem to others.

My DH is never going to change the world but he's devoted loving kind, hard working, an equal partner, he treats me with nothing but respect and love. I think he's pretty freaking extraordinary! Especially reading about marriages on here. Just because someone is a 'Big Deal' doesn't mean they're an extraordinary partner.

What puts, say, Kate Middleton, Michelle Obama, Nancy Regan and possibly Meghan Markle apart from a woman who marries an average middle class white collar man.

Nothing...it's the man that are different, not the woman. Mostly just luck of the draw on the woman's part.

I mean obviously a man who is more than "average." He is either extraordinarily successful in his field or world famous by holding a position such as a president.

It's obvious but to start, the women are themselves extraordinary.

Michelle Obama did not marry an extraordinary man. She married her own version of an average joe(similar level to her).

He turned out to be extraordinary later.

Extraordinary women marry Executives

Those seem to be examples of strong and loving relationships, the sustainment of which reflect favorably on both parties.

These are the weirdest questions.
