Look for a religious wife

Tradition Text:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً لَا يَتَزَوَّجُهَا إِلَّا لِجَمَالِهَا لَمْ يَرَ فِيهَا مَا يُحِبُّ وَ مَنْ تَزَوَّجَهَا لِمَالِهَا لَا يَتَزَوَّجُهَا إِلَّا لَهُ وَكَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِذَاتِ الدِّينِ

Translation: The Holy Prophet [s] said: "He who marries a woman only for her beauty (regardless of her Faith), he will not see (gain) what he likes; and he who marries a woman only for her wealth, Allah will leave him with that wealth only. Therefore, it is to you that you look for a religious wife."
