They found that people are far more likely to marry those who look like their opposite sex parent, particularly when it comes to hair and eye colour.

This is what the article says.

I do think, however, that we end up with partners who have similar personality traits to our parents, but I don't think looks have a thing to do with it.

I felt my first marriage failed in divorce because the ex was not strong-willed and was intimidated by the women in my family. I remarried, my wife is comfortable with my family and very strong-willed. I think the physical beauty of a confident,capable woman is more attractive. (yes dear) But the first thing I noticed about her was the Mona Lisa smile....
