GSW: He is a good man. All he is asking for is respect me in front of my friends. I won’t disturb you when we are alone. It is important to see that for what it is. A man wants respect. That respect is not usually for himself. It is based on how people perceive him. Remember what led to the fall of Vashti. It was the disrespect in public. The king still loved her but the disrespect did her in.

We don’t spend courtship days resolving conflicts. There are less conflicts recorded in the early days. Some conflicts are born of current situation. Some born of environmental and social factors. And conflicts change as a couple age. Conflicts regarding children, choices of school, food etc. conflicts regarding relocation, conflicts regarding economic decisions. You cannot “know the fullness of conflict” while dating. So it is a moot point to be looking for conflict while courting. Enjoy your courtship. Have sense.
