I know RasulAllah sas mentioned we should look for religiosity.
The last part, our Prophet PBUH said that when you look for a spouse, look for 4 things, beauty, wealth, nobility, and virtue, but the best amongst them is virtue.
If you look for beauty, it's not a problem, if you look for wealth, no problem, if for nobility, no problem, but it's better to look for virtuous spouse.
It's easier for a virtuous spouse to take you to Jannah, rather than a beautiful spouse ;). Just saying. Beauty fades with time, however, virtue, grows with time :).
Hope this helps (as far as the last part is concerned).
