I once met a man who said he was looking for
the perfect wife. He told me that he needed
to find someone who was beautiful, kind, loving,
and very spiritually oriented. And yes, he had
found such a woman. But it did not work out.
He said she was so spiritual that she could not
easily relate to the practical things in the
material world. Then he found someone who was
perfect. She was beautiful, kind, loving,
intelligent, organized and practical in material
affairs. She was just what he was looking for.
But he said that also did not work out. Why?
Because she was so practical that she really
did not need him so much, and ended up being a
bit of a nag, always telling him what he should do.
So he still looked for the perfect woman. Then he
found the perfect wife. She was beautiful, kind,
loving, intelligent, organized, practical in material
affairs, as well as spiritually inclined. A perfect
balance. No one could be better. She would make just
what he was looking for — the perfect wife. So I
asked him if they got married. No. Why not? Because
she was also looking for the perfect husband.
