I want my son to marry someone who can cook. If I have to go there for the occasional meal, it had better be good and they better have beer. My daughter, on the other hand, I just hope is happy.
As for me, I did marry out of my religious beliefs (I am an atheist, she believes in a god), out of my race (I am white, she is black) and out of my sports teams (she doesn't follow sports at all). I find that while we have these (and other) differences, they are for the most part superficial.
How we raise our children, our financial views, where and how we live, how we divide up the menial jobs in the house, etc., are areas where we agree and this is why so far our relationship has been successful. Basically, you can appear to be from different worlds (and my wife and I really are!) but if you are compatible in the areas that are most important to both of you, the rest just does not matter.
