The basic problem with my love relationships with women is that my standards are so high - and they apply equally to both of us. I seek full-blast mutual intensity, fully fledged mutual acceptance, full-blown mutual flourishing, and fully felt peace and joy with each other. This requires a level of physical attraction, personal adoration, and moral admiration that is hard to find.
I've been blessed, I think, to have tremendous joy in my life in pursuing my vocation, my calling.
And as a Christian, I got something the world didn't give me, the world can't take away, so I find joy that can never be reduced to anything.
