Marion, if you want to marry well, follow the examples of Eastern European and Asian women.
1) Eat well and be thin.
2) Be educated but not bossy.
3) Laugh softly.
4) Dress well. No leggings or sweats.
5) Be liberated, not puritan/evangelical.
6) Do things with finesse.
7) Teach your kids to be polite and respectful, not little entitled monsters that you see at the mall these days.
I’m sorry to say, but many American women are over the hill after age 35. I’m surprised that rape (safety) is on the minds of many suburban wives.
