text:  This is good advice, actually, and it doesn't just have to apply to finding a wife. I think the guy who posted this would probably agree that you could have even broader reasons for embarking on a quest of this sort if you're a young man. Finding a wife could be just one happy consequence. There could be others. You might find your career. You might find your passion. I categorically refuse to use the cliche, find yourself. So instead, I'll say that you might find things out about yourself.
