First Impressions and Last Dances

My oldest daughter got engaged last week to a wonderful young man.  Her fiance was a co-worker at the job she started in January.  They are very happy.

When I asked him what initially attracted him to her, his first remark surprised me.  My daughter is a beautiful and intelligent person, but her fiance first said that he was impressed by the fact that "she was wholesome."

I have heard discouraged and disparaging remarks from some girls who feel that modesty would limit their chances for dating.  Dating is all about limits -- it is about narrowing potential marriage partners down to the right one.

Modesty puts everything worthwhile on your side.
