Perusing the New York Times website, I came across the wedding announcement of Batsheva From and Michael Altman. There was a quite interesting article accompanying a wedding picture, detailing the courtship of a single woman and a widower with two young children.
What got my attention was an incident that occurred on the first date, which showed the thoughtful character of the future groom. At the end of the day, it is the good character of our prospective spouses that we should be evaluating before making the decision that will lead to a lifetime of commitment.
On his way to their first date, at a kosher restaurant in Midtown, Mr. Altman called to make sure she was running on time. Ms. From said she had a headache. He offered to bring some Tylenol he had on hand; she asked if he could pick up some Excedrin instead.
“The clincher for me was, he also bought me a bottle of water to swallow it with,” she said. “I hadn’t even asked for it.”
