Potential seller didn't trust contract

I live in Michigan and found an absentee owned house. The wife was MOTIVATED to sell but the husband didn't trust the contract. I downloaded the contract from the FilePlace here at BP. The deal fell off because of this. Has anyone had this issue? Should I use a standard PA or just assume the seller isn't really motivated and move on to the finding the next deal?

@Michael Thomas You're asking the wrong people that question.  The only one that can answer it is your seller...and the best way to get that answer is by making the offer again using a standard contract...with any additions specific to this deal.  If they still say no, then they are either probably not as motivated as you suspect, or they just don't like the offer.

Either way, if you don't ask them the question at all, you have an answer.
