Gourmet Or Home Made?

Sometime ago, a Pakistani girl approached me for advice. She had to choose between two marriage proposals. There was an extremely handsome and established doctor in USA and the other one was an ordinary looking accountant in Pakistan. Her parents were split up between the two proposals and had left the choice for her to make. All her friends wanted her to pick the doctor. Not only was he rich but he was very good looking as well. They all were saying that she should not even think twice and go for it. 

The second proposal was from a mediocre but very respected and a well known family. They did not have much money but they had education and the family was famous for their piety.

The girl came to me and wanted my advice. 

I had known this girl for a long time. I told her that her life would be comfortable and luxurious but lonely with the doctor. Yes, people would envy her and she would be considered a lucky one but it all would cost her more than she could realize at the moment. 

The accountant might not be able to provide her with all the luxuries that money could buy but he would give her something that no money could ever buy and that would be closeness to her loved ones. She would be sharing her joys & sorrows with her own family. 

I asked her if she would like to eat the most exotic food by herself in solitude or would she rather eat plain rice and veggies while sitting with her loved ones. 

The girl thanked me, kissed me and left.

She has been happily married to the accountant for past two years now.
