But no, I couldn’t be married to and share a home with someone whom I didn’t have an emotional connection with. That would be a bit pointless.
This is not the 1700s. I’m not interested into marrying into another royal family or to get half the bride’s father’s herd of sheep.[/quote]
If every man thought like you do, spdrun, the divorce rate would be halved. You’re looking for the right things, and I think you’ll be exceedingly happy with the outcome.
IMHO, most marriages fail because people are focused on the looks/money thing when searching for a mate. If people would focus on character, common beliefs, personality, etc., most marriages and families would be far better off.
Guys who set out in search of “hot-looking” women should not be the least bit surprised to find that many of those women will be looking for very wealthy men. Superficial people will attract other superficial people.
