Some of this is on-target but some of it is a bit wide of the mark. I married a woman who I simply realised was who I could trust, would be a fantastic mother, a great lover but to be blunt is not the most intelligent woman I have ever met. I figured the chances of meeting another woman who ticked so many boxes AND was really intelligent was so slim I had better make a move and here we are 19 years later having a great time. Her love of crappy TV, cooking shows, horrible cheezy books and facebook is something I just accept is part of the fantastic deal it has turned out to be - for me anyway. I am only too aware of my lack of social grace and knew that much more critical to a successful marriage would be the need to find someone capable of ignoring my blunt comments instead of me looking for who was really intelligent. It worries me a little that in later years I will need a little more intellectual stimulation at home but at the moment I have a few friends that I mentally spar with and that meets my needs.
