The question

What is the interpretation of the verse: (Filthy women are for filthy men, and filthy men are for filthy women; and good women are for good men, and good men are for good women. Those [good people] are innocent of what they [slanderers] say. For them is forgiveness and a noble provision.) and does this verse mean that I only married a filthy woman because I deserve her?

The answer

The meanings of the verse (Al-Khabithat for Al-Khabithin...) can be summarized in three interpretations: that it refers to words and sayings, or actions, or individuals in marriage. There is no impediment to applying it to all these meanings, with the first being the most apparent. It has been established that whoever slanders Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, is a disbeliever because he explicitly contradicts the Quran, and deserves to be executed for apostasy. As for finding a righteous woman, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, advised marrying a woman of religion. One should not despair of finding her, for the failure of one marriage experience does not mean generalizing the ruling. One must search patiently and inquire about virtuous families who raise their daughters upon religion and good morals.
