Is the behavior of this suitor—represented by his proposing and then breaking off his engagement twice in an effort to marry me, followed by his statement that he desires no one else as a wife—considered shameful behavior that should prevent me from considering association with him?

If someone whose religiosity and character you are pleased with comes to you [seeking marriage], then marry him. Therefore, a suitor should not be rejected due to an educational difference. The dissolution of an engagement does not indicate manipulation by the suitor; rather, it is a promise of marriage that may be dissolved upon the discovery of facts that were not previously known, and indeed, it may sometimes be better to avoid marital problems. Therefore, the reasons for the dissolution should be considered, and it should not be viewed as an impediment to him proposing to you again. You must consult your father and obey him.
