It moved me, I messaged him, and that started everything.&quot;</p><p>For Mische, she could not have asked for a better husband. She said that Kurzer, who had no idea she was a celebrity, is her dream man and more.</p><p>Mische praised the American for being brave enough to admit that he was a virgin and that she fell in love with him because of his stern faith in God.</p><p>&quot;He was very bold in saying, &#x27;I want to stay pure for my future wife. And if you don&#x27;t appreciate that then you&#x27;re not my future wife.&#x27; ...I could just feel the conviction in every word that he said,&quot; Mische said.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-version="6" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:8px"><div style="background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:62.4537037037% 0;text-align:center;width:100%"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);display:block;height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px"> </div></div><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BD4nUHAhHop/" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A photo posted by Jewel MischeKurzer (@mischejewel)</a> on <time dateTime="2016-04-07T03:51:26+00:00" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px">Apr 6, 2016 at 8:51pm PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="~//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" type="text/javascript"></script><p>Asked about how he managed to keep his &quot;purity&quot; before marriage, Kurzer said that one only needs to stay true to the boundaries and guidelines one has set for his or her own life.</p><p>&quot;As a guy, you really want to set a path you want to walk on and not step off to the left or to the right.
