The cooking not being the most important part he said...but the "meek gentle kind spirited country girl" is a recipe for a happiness like no other. It worries me to see so many people I know going through divorce, and worse see them fight and argue over the kids who are caught in the crossfire and will have deep hurt for the rest of their lives. Nothing is more important that choosing the right sort of woman, means more then your career, and is the basis for whatever you leave this world after you die.
My wife is absolutely beautiful, and I must admit it was her looks that first caught my eye, being young. However it was when she made me buttermilk fried gizzards and pan fried okra I fell in love. When I was at my lowest one night, I found a cold sick stray dog, in below freezing temps, and could not keep them where I lived, it was in the middle of the night, and no where I could take them at the time, and she showed up after midnight to help, the dog was an abandoned puppy and would not stop crying...she stayed up with that dog all night with work in the morning.......that's when I knew I would marry her.
Don't base your marriage on partying and looks.......find that good hearted country girl, who can cook, whose fine getting muddy, and would sooner stand by you when ya got nuthin........cause most of us at some point hit a hard time. It also may not sound fair, but look at what her parents are like, how do they live? Are they still together and fostering the sort of family you hope to have? In hindsight, it was the family I married into that was the best blessing of all.
