The Bad Boy Complex
Disclaimer
There is a reason why ideals are beliefs and not reality
Religion
IDEAL MATE
- it would be easier if they were some kind of Christianity but it's not a deal breaker
- I want to get married in a church and I plan on raising my children Catholic until they are 18
- I would not be willing to have my children practice another religion until they are adults
- So I guess that might be somewhat of a deal breaker actually
