How would you say "keeper" in Spanish? Like how we say in English "he's/she's a keeper" to refer to a person who is marriage material, someone you'd date for a long time.

I think there's a few ways:

Eg for he's a keeper;

Es un buen partido.

Él vale la pena

My boyfriend is a keeper - Mi novio es de los que uno no deja escapar.

She's a keeper.

Vale la pena retenerla.

¡No la dejes ir!
