Is Intellectual Depth the Key to Finding a Good Husband?

I believe the most important quality to look for in a husband is intellectual depth and clear-minded idealism. Habits such as smoking or drinking may matter, but I think a man's ability to reason, hold principles and make wise decisions matters even more. An intellectually sound man is more likely to be principled, adaptable and difficult to manipulate. He understands when to stand firm and when to compromise. He also plans beyond the present and considers the impact of his choices on future generations. However, recognising genuine intelligence can be difficult. A person may be misled by confidence, packaging or half-baked opinions. I believe women and men alike should keep learning, develop sound judgement and look beyond appearances when choosing a life partner. Do you agree that intellectual depth is more important than character, emotional maturity, financial stability and shared values in marriage?
