Then how do you know for sure that it was a matter of "respect"?
Don't laugh... but I developed a list of 30 characteristics I was looking for in a mate. My husband had 29 out of 30. I decided I couldn't get much better than that so I said yes to his marriage proposal.
I'm curious and nosey... What was the one characteristic he didn't have? :)
He didn't attend church although he had inner spirituality and a knowledge of the Bible. See even though I had a list that 30th characteristic was a judgment error on my part. I later realized this and am now okay with it.
