In no particular order
1) part of a family (understands the value of relationships)
2) okay terms with family members (will fight for said value of relationships)
3) can have half-decent conversations about day to day activities/events

Add or subtract according to your expectations/experience.

It has been said before, but it should be repeated often.

I have never met a girl who was seriously against contraception who I deemed to be an obviously bad pick. It seems to be a good sorting mechanism. Not that it is fool proof. But, women who hold religious (and sometime secular) views that oppose contraception in any form tend to be very serious about relationships and sex. That is a good starting position for a woman who wants to have a serious marriage.

Likewise, I have personally found that pro-life/anti-abortion groups tend to attract many women who are fairly good candidates for a serious wife.

*I forgot to add a few others I have personally used.

1) No/low social media usage. - Proceed with caution on this one as there is some kind of Pareto distribution here. Of the limited number of women who are not on social media, a majority might be good prospects. But, a certain percentage are hiding something and it is probably pretty bad.
2) No smartphone. - Good luck with this one. Admittedly, I only have a sample size of one with this. But, I did once go out a few times with a girl who had one of those old Razor flip phones. It was eerie. We went and saw a movie. We actually talked, face-to-face, afterwards. No interruptions. She was one of the most normal girls I've ever met. 10/10. Would try again.
3) Doesn't dress to draw attention (specifically sexual attention) to herself. - This one should be obvious. These days, I am much more comfortable with girls who dress like they work at Cabela's as oppossed to a girl who looks like she's just waiting to snap a selfie for her "followers".

seriously against contraception

I've never met a girl like that at all, but I can see why that'd be a good thing. No contraception means she's willing to take responsibility for her actions.

The other items listed are good too. I would add to this one:

Doesn't dress to draw attention (specifically sexual attention) to herself

Yes, but also, does dress in feminine ways. It's a bit of a red flag in my opinion if a girl dresses like billie eyelash - basically, like an androgynous slob. What you really want is a girl who likes being a girl, and wants you to be a man - that is to say, a girl who wants clearly defined roles so that the two of you compliment each other (a yin and yang sort of thing).
