To look for someone that you would eventually marry.
“I’m not looking to date casually, I’m looking for a wife.”

@Andrewhma trying to find a wife to marry and live already, immediately ? because it means any arrangement was done, right?

@LTer no, someone who is not in a relationship would say it.
“I’m single, but I want to settle down. I don’t want to date random people and start relationships that go no where. I am looking for someone who will become my wife.”

@Andrewhma you mean you are looking for a wife to marry and live eventually together but seriously and not antics, or things as you say that go nowhere?

It means I am seeking a wife, but I am trying to find her anywhere to have something serious without random things or people or meetings or dates? And we live together seriously and stable?

@LTer In the context, you would still go on dates with the person. But, it would be dates that lead to a long term relationship, yes. It doesn’t mean “I’m looking to meet someone and then immediately marry them.”

@Andrewhma you mean I am seeking her to date with her until we win our hearts and slowly have a stable relationship and live together eventually and seriously, making her my girlfriend and then my wife?

@LTer what you said was quite impassioned haha, it reads like a love letter to a girl’s parents. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet. But if that is what you are going for, it makes sense.
