Choose someone who makes you laugh
This is the First rule because it is the most important in all relationship. If you choose your partner for their looks, their status, or even the rest of their personality, you could regret it eventually. Anyway lots of those can get lost along the way. Even personality traits can change - a confident person can be shattered by an emotional trauma, a patient person can become irritable and frustrated through illness or pain.
But a sense of humour will last you long after everything else has gone. When you are both sitting there in you rocking chairs, decades after retirement and the kids have long since grown up, it maybe all you have left. And if it is, it will be enough.
Laughter is worth it's weight in gold. A sense of humour is a very personal thing, and some people just make us laugh more then others. When you find the person who really makes you laugh more than anyone else, marry them. Assuming they are the right sex. Your are guaranteed to fancy them, because anyone who makes you laugh will be hugely attractive, even if they are not physically what you had been anticipating.
So next time you meet someone with gorgeous legs, or sexy eyes, or a cute smile, don't be seduced straight away. See if they can tickle you without touching first. Just don't compromise on the sense of humour, because it really is the top priority.
