It's been awhile since I've read the book, but I'm 95% sure he says that Marianne reminds him of his former love in spirit. Not necessarily in looks. People tend to be attracted to a type, and his type is obviously the joyful and uninhibited kind of person Marianne is.

The plot is really more about Marianne becoming an adult. And women her age *often* married men his age in those days - especially military men had to establish their fortune and rank before marrying and living the life of a gentleman.

Thank you. I don't think most people in this thread are very familiar with the historical period.
