In other words, ladies: when seeking a husband, is intelligence a factor? Is the ability to wax philosophical, an interest in the sciences, high linguistic ability, etc. a personal attractor?
Gentlemen: do you seek intelligence in a wife? Is a high IQ a quality you find worthy and attractive?
Let us assume both men and women are devout Catholics, behaving appropriately according to their sexes, and are otherwise worthy marriage material.
How important is intelligence in one's search for a spouse? Let us assume that piety is always the foremost trait desired, of course.
There has been discussion on this topic lately, so I thought it would be interesting to examine others' perspectives on the matter. Married, engaged, single, and courting are all welcome to reply.
