Men whom I know tend to chose partners who somehow somewhat look like their mothers. [I would prefer to write as, "... who remind them of their mothers." This way, it says everything from looks to behaviour.] Does it this happen in your country too?

My brother had married (or, was married to) a very pretty woman, but divorced her at last (or, recently (なぜなら、"at last"(=「やっと」)を使うと、お兄さん/弟さんが離婚することを期待していたような感じがするからですね。) . Now, he has a new wife who, even though is less pretty (or, not as pretty as) than his ex-wife, looks like our mother. Does this mean that he misses our mother, even though she is still alive? (Is "miss" an appropriate word in this case?)
Anyway, both wives are good people. He is lucky.
Men who I know tend to choose partners who somehow look like their mothers. Does it (or, this) happen in your country as well?
