Nekhlyudov considers matrimony

In favour of marrying Missy in particular ... was, to begin with, that she came of good family ... and secondly, there was the fact that she thought more highly of him than of any other man she knew, which, as he saw things, meant that she understood him. And this understanding of him, that is, her recognition of his superior worth, was proof to Nekhlyudov of her good sense and sound judgement.

Tolstoy, Resurrection, chapter 4
