Mr. Croteau and Ms. Woolner are together and they are from different social class and different education levels. This difference, however, have influenced their marriage.
Firstly, Mr. Croteau stopped drinking and decided to change his life, but when he heard that Ms. Woolner has a lot of money, he questioned about what he wants, because he don't want to feel like he is with Ms. Woolner for her money, he wants to love her for who she is. Ms. Woolner continued to give him money to support him during their relationship. They attended a group discussing about similar problems and Mr. Croteau said that he was relieved to hear others talking about the same problems they are facing, and he learned about how the person who has the power should used it. And in their relationship, Mr. Croteau is aware that his wife is the one with the power and that had changed his life a lot.
Mr. Croteau's mother heard that his son's wife is rich, she didn't show much of a negative attitude, and said that don't hold the fact of her being rich against her. However, Ms. Woolner's family was embarrassed at first knowing that Mr. Croteau was a car salesman and was worried thatt her daughter was taking him on as a kind of do-good project.
Mr. Croteau felt more comfortable when he was working with people that are from the same class as he is, and he find himself having a difficult time when he is dealing with his wife's family, when he doubt that his family like him or not.
Class difference between marriages can make a lot of influence on the marriage itself. Because of the ideas of who should hold the power and other biases from family can either move the relationship forward and bring it down.
