Good advice for finding the ideal husband

Maureen Dowd takes lessons from a Catholic priest on how to find An Ideal Husband.

Never marry a man who has no friends.
Does he use money responsibly?
Is he overly attached to his mother?
Does he have a sense of humor?
Avoid the strong, silent type. 
A therapist friend insists that ‘more marriages are killed by silence than by violence.  The strong, silent type can be charming but ultimately destructive. That world-class misogynist, Paul of Tarsus, got it right when he said, ‘In all your dealings with one another, speak the truth to one another in love that you may grow up.’
Take a good, unsentimental look at his family.
Finally: Does he possess those character traits that add up to a good human being — the willingness to forgive, praise, be courteous?

All good advice.
