That should have led to more tension in her relationship with Booth than it did. However, like other aspects of their relationship, that was addressed but resolved quickly or glossed over.
While no one would have wanted to see Booth and Brennan separated any longer considering that they just had been, she did make a decision that directly affected him. He wasn't alone. He'd met a journalist, Hannah, and they were not only together, but it was serious. It was serious enough that he proposed. It would have never lasted, even if she'd said yes, though, because of Booth and Brennan's relationship. Hannah wasn't just Booth's girlfriend. She and Brennan were at the very least friendly.
Booth and Hannah's breakup occurred in the same season he and Brennan finally got together. However, once they got together, it was like Hannah never existed. Neither mentioned her, and it seemed like no one remembered the role she had in either of their lives.
The problem here wasn't that they had different perspectives on religion. He was a devout Roman Catholic, while she was an atheist. They didn't have to have the same religious beliefs to be together.
However, she was very dismissive of his beliefs, which led to more than one disagreement between the two. She did come to accept the importance of his beliefs for him over the course of their relationship. That included having Christine baptized before she went on the run with her for months.
Still, they could have taken the same sides of their arguments about religion without her disrespecting his. That wasn't necessary for their relationship nor for the banter that ensued because of it.
Booth had a history of a problem with gambling, as Brennan knew. During a case, he took a turn for the worst in season 10, and he lied to her about it. She only found out because his bookie showed up at their house when he owed a lot of money. That led to a brief separation for the two, though by the end of the season, he and their relationship were back on track. However, then there was then a time jump between seasons 10 and Because of that, Bones didn't give him and them the time they deserved to heal on-screen.
Fans didn't see what came next when he moved back in and the two were back together. It took Booth and Brennan years to admit their feelings, let alone get together. However, both often showed signs of jealousy when the other was in a relationship or just showed interest in another person.
In the early days, it wasn't as obvious. However, as the show went on and they grew closer, they got more and more jealous, to the point that they should have admitted their feelings earlier. Instead, they'd be jealous, others would remark on it, and they'd deny it. The only reason why this happened as long and often as it did was because they were a couple on a television show.
In season 1, Brennan requested to be able to carry a concealed weapon. Booth denied her request, on the grounds of a felony charge on her record. He was the arresting officer, and he refused to say he was wrong to charge her.
However, she shot someone who was going to hurt her but didn't have a weapon himself. She argued that it was only his leg and the man was in jail for the rest of his life. Booth delighted in sitting there and making her go through the process of submitting her request. He also enjoyed denying her request and told her he'd take care of any weapon needs.
He even suggested she use her words if need be in a situation that might require her to have a weapon. Booth and Brennan are complete opposites. Yes, opposites attract, but their opposing views were often the reasons for their conflicts. Brennan was a scientist first and foremost. She relied on facts and refused to use her gut when it came to the cases. She also wasn't much of a people person and lacked some social skills.
That meant she didn't understand jokes or some comments those around her made. She was also an atheist and was therefore often dismissive of religion. Unlike Brennan, Booth listened to his gut.
He was a people person and understood social aspects his partner did not. His religion was also very important to him, and it was often a source of contention between the two, especially in the earlier seasons.
In season 4, Booth learned that he had a brain tumor. During the coma following his surgery, he dreamed he and Brennan were together. In season 5, he was confused about how he felt about Brennan. It was possible the tumor and dream caused those feelings, and he had to figure out if that was true. Though brain scans suggested it was, he grew to realize that he truly did love her that season.
Still, that brain tumor called into question all of Booth's actions and feelings about Brennan for a brief period of time. Considering that neither was willing to admit their feelings up to that point, was it really necessary to suggest his were because of a tumor?
Nothing like pulling an all-nighter to investigate the murder of JFK, right? And that he was shot by more than one gunman. Was it JFK? But probably yes. He also gives Brennan a big speech about why he respects her, and she pokes a guy in the eyes when he tries to send her home with a curse. It took Bones more than half a season to put Brennan in the position to need rescuing from Booth, and even then, she kept fighting. Bones looks inward in this atmospheric hour , which shakes Brennan with her resemblance to an emotionally closed-off doctor who turns up dead.
Gordon encourages Booth and Brennan to invite Sweets into their lives and compare metaphorical scars, leading Brennan to share a painful story about the abuse she suffered as a foster kid while Booth admits that his grandfather was the only reason he made it to adulthood.
Posing as his childhood friend, Max is in town to kill off the people threatening his kids, including a couple of higher-ups at the Bureau. The flashbacks in this Boreanaz-directed hour trace the beginning of a love story: Booth and Brennan, intrigued by one another, get drinks and kiss outside a bar. In the present, Booth takes a leap and admits that he wants to give their relationship another shot, but Brennan is too worried about hurting him to risk it.
As Booth points out after the ordeal, this case depends on every last one of them — not only on their skills, but on their refusal to give up. And of course, the letter Brennan writes to Booth eventually makes for a great wedding vow. Meredith has affiliate partnerships.

And how many marriage vows turn a reference to a serial killer into a heartfelt and moving expression of love and joy? Lance Sweets, thus preventing his return to the show. His legacy, however, reverberates through the season, and nowhere more powerfully than this episode.
