Hi there everyone, Have been reading this discussion since a few days, so felt like expressing my views as well.
We are all humans blind or not, and we have our own set of skills. There might be areas we are extremely good at or there might be areas we cannot do much, in case of us blind it may be because of our disability whereas incase of sighted it might be due to other reasons. According to me, a happy married life demands a set of some basic skills, like understanding, cooking, up bringing of kids, earning, socializing, etc. Again, these basic requirements differ depending on what kind of a lifestyle one has. So, in my view, it does not really matter whether we are marrying a sighted or a blind, what matters is whether our's and our partner's skills can meet those basic requirements or not. Considering this, I disagree from the belief that if a blind has to marry a sighted, he has to make compromises like marrying someone economically or intellectually weaker than us. If a blind who is earning well or is from a well-to-do family or may be is extremely qualified marries a sighted from a weaker economic background or qualification, it is not a compromise as far as both partners together possess the required skills. Even if a blind is marrying a blind, and both of them can manage to do the required things, may be in ways different than the normal world, they can indeed have a successful married life. So, it is not about being blind or sighted, it is always about finding that someone such that with understanding, you can both match up for each other's shortcomings. Life partners are like two pieces of a puzzle, one has to find the other half that fits perfectly, lest we got to spend our entire life filling the gaps.
