The script says the guy not only must be a good provider, but be drop dead handsome as well as being sensitive, romantic, caring, giving and totally understanding.
You forgot to mention wildly rich and have all the time in the world to spend with them (little or no job). Also well-traveled, multilingual, good musician, highly intelligent, and humble to the point of thinking he is nothing and she is everything. And of course she has to meet him as a hitchhiking free spirit who is rough around the edges.

Well, around AD1516 Luca Landucci, a small-time Florentine apothecary, recorded [and his diary is considered by the historians to be a valuable source on the period - Luca is not believed to be a fibber] that over 48 years of their marriage his [recently departed] wife Salvestra "had not even once made him angry" How's that for a "high standard"?

Who's coming back? Your comment to me indicates he's not Christian.

This is why our fairy-tales of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella should be replaced with Shrek.
You're not a princess, you're not marrying a prince. He's an ogre, and if you're really honest with yourself, you are too.

"mounting expectations factor heavily in the nation's declining marriage rate. '
He expected mounting, she declined. It was a short marriage.

Do you know hard it is to find a conservative guy nowadays?
I married the one I found who wasn't already married, engaged, or in a steady relationship. Being single and "independent" is over-rated. I got married later than I wanted to, but it took me awhile to find someone who didn't see being a conservative as a character flaw.
