Should a Software Engineer Marry a Teacher?

I'm a 28-year-old software engineer, earning between 35-50 LPA, and currently at a crossroads in my personal life. I’m considering marrying a girl (26 years old) who is preparing for government job exams. She has taken a break from her previous job for this preparation. She holds an MSc in Mathematics and has successfully cleared several competitive teaching exams like HTET, CTET, and NET. On a personal level, I like her personality, and we get along well. I find her attractive too. However, I’m a bit confused about the profession aspect. If she secures a government job, I would likely need to stay restricted to Delhi NCR region due to her job's location preferences. She’s okay with working in the private school/colleges for now, but her long-term goal is to secure a government job. There’s also a possibility that she might pursue a PhD in the future. I’d love to hear thoughts from those who’ve been in similar situations. Is it practical for a software engineer to marry a teacher with such career constraints? How do you handle the balance between career growth and personal relationships? Any advice or experiences would be really helpful!
