Depends on the partner. In my experience, generally the wealthy partner wants you to be more than what you are now. They want you to be 'successful' in some way and want to show you off to their wealthy friends. The partner may help you be successful which means 'work'. And when I say work, you are expected to work hard to be successful. No laying back and taking it easy, playing computer games, reading comic books or other 'kids' stuff. If you read something, it's got to be something about business. If you're surfing the internet, it's got to be something about business. etc. That's why you generally see rich people go out with other rich people.
