That's a tough one. I'd like to think that my husband could leave work at work. As a teacher, though, I also understand that sometimes the work has to come home. Not sure about being on call for work all the time. Being on call to help family and friends, though, is a deal. We're supposed to help each other.
DOND: They enjoy spending money on books.

Deal. There is no such thing as too many books. I love books and have lots of them myself. Maybe we could turn a room in our house into a library. If nothing else, we'll have lots of bookshelves. If we have way too many books, then we'd just have to go through them and give some of them away. It is a great way to bless other people.

Deal. I would be very glad to see that he is close with his family. If people felt left out a lot though, I'd probably talk with him about it. He might not be aware that this is the effect that their relationship is having and this might prompt them to make an effort to include others.

Deal - not a problem. The best scenario of course, is if he recognizes that he has problems in this area and accepts suggestions or doesn't mind me having free reign in his closet. I'd work with him to build an entire wardrobe (suits, belts, shirts, ties, pants, socks, suspenders, hats, whatever floats his boat) where everything matches with everything else, then he'd never have to worry. If we include a nice collection of neutrals, and he sees something that he likes that doesn't match with the rest of the wardrobe - he could easily wear it without looking wierd. If he did mind ... it would be ok too - after all he's a grown man and can dress himself if he wants to, but to be 100% honest, I do think that I'd probably still make some suggestions with lots of "sweeties", "honeys", "babys" as long as it didn't get on his nerves. :)

This one's tough. But I'd probably say no deal (depending on how they handle themselves when they do it). I tend to think carefully about what I'm saying and would be embarrassed for them. And that's just not good for a relationship.

We'd be in a world of hurt then. I can't match very well, but I see great! I'd still say deal though. We'll just look funny together.

No deal. I can see wanted to know but not wanting to tell. Gossip is still a sin.

DOND: They hunger to see justice done.
Deal - but I wouldn't take this lightly. When you hunger to see justice done, especially when you are going up against power structures, whether it is a company or a national policy, at the minimum, there will be emotional hurt or financial ruin - and at maximum physical hurt - not only for my spouse, but also for the family as well (including children). A lot of people have given up their lives for justice.
I'd be proud to have a husband with such integrity and passion. But, I know that before I'd marry him, that I would have to count the possible cost, and that I would have to stay on my knees in prayer for his and our family's safety.
DOND: They have a very strange, incurable condition, such as hypertrichosis (a condition where they have abnormally fast growing hair that covers their entire body, including their face. It is kind of like a real-life "werewolf." They would have to shave every day to look like other people. It is a real condition, but extremely rare - only 1 in 340 million people are reported to have it - so I think that we will not encounter it. But we could extrapolate this to any type of condition like this).
Note: I know this is a strange question, but I was watching a portion of a movie today, where the male lead had this condition, and started thinking about this in general. If you get to know someone without seeing them, then find out that they have a very odd, but incurable condition like this, could you handle something like that?

Ok, I think I killed the thread. Sorry - maybe the werewolf question was a bit over the top? So here's an alternate:

This is a hard one to answer because I do not want to seem insensitive. Like J_O says there is someone for everyone. I have seen people with all kinds of conditions marry, Joni Ericson Tada comes to mind, However this particular condition I personally could not get past. There is someone out there that would find it fascinating, I would not. so no deal
DOND: Has a very charismatic personality and many of the opposite sex are attracted to them, naturally without their trying to get the attention.

undecided - i think if i knew early it would be most helpful. i'd maybe feel betrayed like they withheld info from me if a serious relationship developed and i found out way down the road. and of course it depends on what the condition is.

i kinda live a pretty casual lifestyle and although i love gourmet food, most of the time it's so much more practical and affordable for others (considering dining out with friends) to do a chain like olive garden / unos / tgif or wendys or pizza sometimes :) i'd have no problem taking them to a fancy gourmet restaurant on a weekly date or something, but it's not practical for how i live now.

Deal: But only because I have done this. This was my hubby to a T when we got married. He was a very happy-go-lucky optimistic person. He could make light of any situation. He was soooo positive all the time. Everyone loved this about him and so did I. It is one of the reasons I married him. However, I did not know that he had an inability to get serious about a topic and help me figure it out. Even when we argued early on, he could not stay serious long enough to resolve, Or he would want to change the subject by saying "sorry" or "whatever you want' just so things could get "happy" again. I can't even tell you how hard this was on me. If you are the one that is preventing things from being happy or positive at all times it makes you look like the bad guy. There is so much more to this I could go on and on, but, Yes I would do it again with the man God has for me.
DOND: He/She is a lawyer and has to "lie" for a living. They are just starting out and don't have alot options in their field.

Probably no deal if it's something that obvious. I'll admit to being shallow. I also don't have the strength to handle something that is debilitating. Done that once. Just can't do it again from the start (if my wife developes something that's different)
quote:

No deal. We'd never fit in each others lifestyle. "Fresh" means it's no more than three weeks past it's expiration date.

(ouch. Oh come on everyone knows I was joking. Ouch. stop it . Ouch ow. ouch. OK OK I'll fix it)
(In reality I have no charisma and people usually run screaming when I enter a place)
I'd have to say deal. I tend to not be the jealous type and if she has decided to be with me then life is good for me. (The competitive side of me would be thinking. "I've got her and you don't" But then it would instantly get beat up by the OH and I'd admit that God had been very very good to me)

This one is tough. Although I'm more likely to be the light hearted one. I'd have to say deal as this is a communications problem more than an immutable characteristic problem. I can learn to be serious, they can learn to be lighthearted sometimes.

Outright lies or careful wordings that are technically true but could be misleading to the normal person? (I should have gone into law)
I'd say deal if they were a prosecutor or a civil attorney and no deal if they were a defense attorney.

Um, if it was someone I really liked, we would need to have a serious discussion about this. If he can't understand the need for discretion, it's a no deal. Some things are meant to be kept private.
DOND: Has a goal to visit every Disney park around the globe, almost to the point of obsession.

For Hubby it was a personality characteristic. He was a wonderful communicator. He was a Pastor, teacher, and a counciler and Manager of several banks for years. He could handle any conversation that was not negative. He liked to stay positive. The relief on his face once an issue was resolved was obvious. He hated anything negative. A beautiful quality in him that I always loved. He learned to discuss issues that were not fun. But it was torture for him. Two of my children are just like him. One is serious like me, poor girl.
