My marriage is quite happy. I work part-time, which definitely helps our family. This way I take care of things at home, as dh has a stressful career. He is definitely hg+ (very strong in math, engineering, science) I have never been tested (that I know of), but fall in the high ability, maybe mg area. (I was in pull-out in school, always towards the top of my class.)
What I think works though is respect. We respect each other. We do have like opinions about religion/ politics. We are both planners. We are about to have good discussion about a variety of topics. We cannot have intellectual conversations about our specific areas of our jobs, because we are in very different fields. However, we both have people we can discuss that with.
I also know intelligence with a good life balance were why we were drawn to each other. (Everyone else I had dated were already married to their job.)
