of course, thalberg is sexy. he's a musician with a doctorate. for most single musicians - that alone causes great vibes of wonder. you see, you have to have a lot of motivation to get that far. if one can do that with their musical career - what else could they do? (usually women don't share this mental process).
also, he's christian. it's a nice combination.
i just celebrated 22 years of marriage with a baritone singer whose voice i love. we can share concerts and things - and never fight over the piano. it's nice to share music. the more things that you can share together - the better. my husband learned to ride a bike at 40. we cycle together, too. it's nice to share things in common - otherwise you don't have as much interesting stuff to talk about.
