I threw in a few extra areas to read. I hope you don't mind.
Name: Miles Edgeworth
Looks: As he rarely smiles except to taunt people, much of his attractiveness stems from the serious expression typically on his face. His good physical shape is also an advantage appearance-wise. Older women in particular tend to find him incredibly handsome.
Smarts: Miles is undoubtedly a very quick thinker with an eye for facts, as he has proven time and again in court by presenting every possibility in cases before finally giving in if the defendant is indeed innocent. Having mastered multiple languages, he also probably has a respectable knowledge of the culture of each country he has studied and prosecuted in.
Personality: Miles cares little for small talk and trivial matters, often bothered when people try to start up a conversation over something he has no interest in or views as unimportant. He is also extremely prideful and responsible, easily to a fault in some cases. He will look down severely on dishonesty or stupidity from anyone, including himself. That pride can also reflect itself in his determination to achieve his own version of perfection--not to be confused with von Karma perfection. His pride and seriousness can easily come off as stuck-up, though that doesn't necessarily mean he's incapable of respecting a person's strengths. Another area to note is his sharp wit, which can easily generate laughter in a well-crafted and quickly-made put-down, though the subject of said put-down will undoubtedly be offended.
In truth, he is a very passionate person, though his pride makes him typically unwilling to show it. A key part of being with him would be knowing when to "hug it out" when he's in a bad mood and when to just let him work out his problems on his own. It's a difficult balance to maintain, to be sure, but if you learn what to do when, he will undoubtedly express his thanks for your devotion to him. Someone to hear his problems and reassure him may be all he needs to remove that cold armor he wears so often.
Home Economics: Having benefited from a rather well-off upbringing, Miles is probably uninterested in any form of housework, though he is a very neat person who will only leave messes if in a great hurry. He'd rather have other people do the grunt work for him, but if necessary, he will do it himself.
Combat Skills: Miles suffers from relatively poor stamina, despite having excellent lungs. He is unlikely to be good at protecting himself or others unless he manages to strike a good blow really early in the fight. Having been traumatized by his use of a handgun in the DL-6 Incident, Miles likely has a strong aversion to all manner of firearms. However, though he has little stamina, he is in fairly good physical shape.
Special Abilities: His intelligence and quick thinking are not necessarily special abilities, though they are quite prominent, as anyone who knows him will tell you. If you count playing the flute extraordinarily well as a special ability, then there's that.
Competition: Due to his appearance and apparent wealth, plenty of women are likely to have an interest in him. Of course, how many of them actually love him as a person is open to interpretation. Another area that may come between the two of you is his job. Miles takes a great deal of pride in his work and is only likely to stop in an emergency. Simply saying "I don't want you to prosecute" won't cut it.
In-Laws: Though he has no known biological relatives, he has a sibling-like bond with Franziska von Karma, who, though not always willing to admit it, thinks similarly of Miles. Franziska in general is a rather vicious woman who won't hesitate to use her whip on people she dislikes. If you've managed to earn Miles's love, he will almost certainly prevent that from becoming an issue, though.
Children: Miles is unlikely to have any interest in having a child until he feels that he's settled down sufficiently. His serious demeanor may come off as scary to small children, though if he does agree to have children, he will probably work to avoid having such an effect. One area of concern is his pride, which may lead him to be relatively demanding as a father.
Sex: Given his personality, it's highly unlikely that he's one to make love after just one date. In fact, it's entirely possible that he may avoid passionate displays altogether until he's sure he wants to marry you. Like in most of his life, his pride would likely discourage him from reckless sexual behavior. If his passion and physical condition are to be viewed as also applying to his sexual behavior, then a night with him will probably be a good experience--assuming you can convince him to go that far.
Finances: Miles has been wealthy almost all his life, and it's apparent that he has a sizable income from prosecuting. Given his tastes, it's likely that he also has no qualms about spending a little extra to enjoy himself. In truth, you and any family you start with him could probably fare well just on his money, but he will likely insist that you contribute financially, as well.
Dating: With regards to dating, Miles will almost certainly aim for the "upper crust" dating scenes, such as an opera, dinner at an exclusive restaurant, or ballroom dancing. As a man with little interest in small talk, he will probably be more focused on the activity of the date than anything social, though formalities such as a goodnight kiss are almost guaranteed. Simply put, he would act the gentleman while dating and probably expect his date to act the lady.
Marriage: As with having children, Miles would be unlikely to ask for marriage until he feels he is living a stable life. However, once he is married, expect nothing less than complete loyalty. He considers loyalty in a relationship to be something to take pride in, so his chances of cheating are zero. Naturally, with such loyalty, he would expect the same from you and likely have no tolerance of cheating. If you're not interested in marriage, then you can probably expect your relationship to slowly taper off, Miles having possibly taken your refusal as a sign that you will ultimately lose interest in him.
Overall: Miles no doubt thinks there is more to life than love, so don't expect him to devote his very existence to you, but he will certainly not think of you as just someone to call his wife. Those who have the patience to earn his love will find he is a devoted husband who will do everything in his power to maintain a healthy and favorable balance between his family's needs and his own desires. The most significant threat to any relationship with him would be his pride. As long as you do nothing to insult him, you should not have any issues with him if you're what he wants in a wife.

I'll always love you, Max.
