In the Bible I dont see any set standard for a spouse. Every couple seemed to have a different story. Abraham and Sarah were companions. She was his prized posesion. Isaac had a wife that was a diligent worker. Jacob went to the right source and was blessed for it. Esau rebelled against what his parents wanted for him. Moses disobeyed the law and married someone from another nation, yet God approved. Boaz married because of jewish law. David won a wife from his ability to make war. Abigail won his favor by speaking to King David's stomach. The list hoes on and on. What you can see though each story is a little different. So apart from the obvious need for a potential mate to obey God like you do. What important? Well each of these men had different wives, for different reasons. Also they had different achievements and goals. So why not look at the goals God has for your life and pick a spouse that will help you attain that goal.
