What is the first of the four ingredients Kimball gives for a successful marriage? Proper approach toward marriage; choosing a spouse who is near perfection and then marrying in the temple.

The Apache have a saying for this one
“A good looking boy is not always a good boy”
And in the Bible, God told Samuel
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7
So much for a “perfect husband”
and as for women themselves...
Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. 1 Peter 3:3
God prefers plain, fat, muscly armed women to beauty queens...the “perfect” need not apply..
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. She arms her waist with strength, and makes her arms strong. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Proverbs 31:10, 17, 30
