- Actually, all that's necessary for any criterion in the quest for a mate
- to be 'right' is for the one doing the questing to believe that it is.

- the characteristics that are important to her are the characteristics
- that are important to her and who are any of us to say that her priorities
- in her personal life are 'wrong'?
-
- Similar world views and philosophies are often important--even essential--
- for a relationship's long-term success; one's religious leanings would
- seem often to have more than a small correlation with these and, therefore,
- are generally a useful factor to take into account when seeking a long-term
- relationship.
