Exodus (the guy from CF, not the book  ):
I have a question that maybe a little off the topic. but I didn't know where else to post it. Here is my question:
How much weight should one give to great physical attraction or lack thereoff when considering a marriage partner?
Thanks for the help.
Good question! What do you all think?

Sure we all want the gourgeous hunk but a mature person realizes there is a lot more to a person then looks. And looks can vanish very quickly. So I say go by personality rather then by looks. If i was judged on looks I ld still be single . |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | I think physical attraction is very important. I mean, how can you spend the rest of your life with somebody you can't stand the sight of!? it just doesnt seem right! lol
I believe God has somebody for everybody, and i believe that somebody will be your (and my) perfect partner. The right guy/girl will be incredibly attractive physcially (at least, in our own perception, but who else matters? who cares what other ppl think!) and have an amazing personality that matches your own perfectly! just, ideal in everyway!
So, i think a lot of weight should be given to physical attraction when considering marriage, but as i said, the right guy/girl will be gorgeous!! lol |

very good question - think of it this way - yeh you gotta be attracted to the person but all that will fade away when you are both 50 - 60 years old and then you have to think what is left???
I think attraction is part but not parcel of marriage to start of with - there are loads of other elements to consider - for example, what you both like, what are your dreams, are you friends, are you compatiable - spiritually as well as emotionally, and loads of other stuff...
But would you wanna be with someone you are not attracted to??? I know that I wouldn't!!!
Yes kev, but you can be attracted to someone by their personality as much as, or even more than by their looks..

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to marry someone you find attractive. There's a reason God gave us different types that we like--"Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder."
