Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target. What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy. Gordon B. Hinckley
About This Quote

If you are looking for someone who will be your best friend, someone who will be by your side through thick and thin, someone who will support you and make you feel happy all the time, then find out the qualities of the person. But don’t ever settle down with someone just because he is rich or has good looks. Because everyone knows that money and looks fade away eventually. You should be happy to have found a person who cares for you deeply and wants to be with you forever.
