There are many things that go into marriage, but one thing that is not normally explicitly articulated is this:
The person you marry is the person you are choosing to spend the worst times of your life with you.
The good times are easy to get through together or alone, but having someone to rely on in the worst times can be a much needed lifeline. This is why the vows say "in good times and bad". It is an acknowledgement that you WILL face tough times. We all do., but a committed married couple is better equipped to survive in bad circumstances.
As a Christian you should also choose someone who believes as you do. This is explicitly stated in the Bible. Don't marry an unbeliever. A believing spouse will help anchor your faith as well as being there for the day to day trials of life.
"Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
