Three scriptures/examples come to my mind concerning choosing your spouse.

	1. After seeing Rachel, Jacob "fell in love" with her and asked
	   her father for her.

	2. In Prov 18:22 
	   "Whosoever finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains 
            favor with the Lord".

	3. In the verse following the scripture you quoted in 1 Cor. 7:38,
	   it states that w widow is "at liberty to marry whomsever she
	   will; only in the Lord".
