Whom NOT to marry

Maureen Dowd is not my favorite columnist, but yesterday she published sage advice from a 79-year-old priest friend on "Whom Not to Marry."  Excerpt:

“Finally: Does he possess those character traits that add up to a good human being — the willingness to forgive, praise, be courteous? Or is he inclined to be a fibber, to fits of rage, to be a control freak, to be envious of you, to be secretive?

“After I regale a group with this talk, the despairing cry goes up: ‘But you’ve eliminated everyone!’ Life is unfair.”
