I have no idea, or experience. You should ask people who have been successful in finding a good life partner.
Maybe you can try this one idea, whomsoever you choose as your life partner, contribute towards their life, and don’t demand anything. The moment you start demanding, you become miserable.
If you demand from your husband (or wife), that he (or she) should do this, one day or the other, it will make you miserable.
The second biggest problem will be your in-laws. Whatever you do, they will not be very pleased and they will comment on it and you will get upset. This you should stop. Win them over with your service and your love.

When a daughter-in-law comes, if she is very loving, within the first six months she will win the hearts of the family. This skill you must learn: how to win the hearts of the people.
Go with a sense of seva, a sense of total sacrifice for that family. Even a few months like this will earn you a lot of goodwill from your in-laws.
So with a big mind and big heart, win over the new family you got into, and all will be fine.
