What is it called when men marry women similar to their moms?

I think it's some theory about how we pick a mate, etc, but a man's ideal woman is often similar to his mom, while a woman's ideal man is often similar to her dad-- what is this called?

Thank you!

Update:

Haha, while I appreciate the humor, Jack's was the answer I was looking for.
