In my view three characteristics are essential for a
marriage partner.
Compatibility is very important, because spending the rest of your life
with someone is a huge commitment, and without compatibility in values
and interests, and goals, it could be a struggle rather than a
partnership. I also think that a good marriage partner should fit into
your family. Without accceptance and affection for you as a couple, you
could risk the relationship you have with family members. And
attraction is another factor. Since fidelity is part of a marriage
contract, the expression of love will be limited to your partner, so it
should be a person you are attracted to.
