What hobbies do you have that you want your future wife to also have? Where would someone who has those hobbies be? Find forums for that and try to find gatherings in your area. Just talking to someone the other day in an unhappy marriage; he complained that he was sold a false bill of goods on many accounts. For example: The Mrs claimed to love to camp, he never actually went camping with her until after the marriage and she flipped out when she realized there was no RV involved. Not such an outdoor woman after all. Marriages are hard even when you have a lot in common. Dont be that guy who marries because you have connecting parts and seem to have similar ideals. Need more than that to make the road a little easier to travel. Also, I *highly* recommend similar theology; although that is always subject to change the general values usually remain. Best of luck!
