They say that who you marry is your biggest career decision and it’s true. There is no more important decision you can make in life than who to spend it with. To a large extent, who you marry determines how successful and how happy you are in life.
Maybe I’m biased, but I think everyone should marry a West Virginian. Here are a few reasons why:
- We have some beautiful wedding venues here.

- Family is so important here.

- Your spouse will probably make you pepperoni rolls.

- We’re the most faithful state.
Irina Patrascu/Flickr According to Business Insider, West Virginians are the least likely of all the states to cheat on their spouses. That was determined by looking at the number of users from WV on the website “Ashley Madison,” which connects people who are looking to have an affair. (WV definitely wasn’t last on that list because it doesn’t have as much access to the internet. Nope, that definitely wasn’t why).
- We may be chubby but you’ll look sooo skinny standing beside us.

- When you visit the in-laws, there are great views to be seen.

- We’re very outdoorsy.

- West Virginia accents are the cutest ones.

- West Virginians are more likely to be pet people. And pet people are good people.
Ida Myrvold/Flickr According to a 2013 survey, West Virginia is among the top 10 states for pet ownership in the United States. In West Virginia, 62.1 percent of people are pet owners. And more people own dogs here: 45.8 own canines, as opposed to 38.1 percent who own cats. If we’re dog people, you know we’re good people.
- We’re adventurous.
