    Prayer...

    That's exactly what a lot of people are telling me. I'm very new to this but I've heard people talk like this all my life. It didn't make much sense to me until recently.

    What makes a successful marriage?

    Is being attracted to someone else adultery?

    My two cents: We all may find other people attractive in some way. Physical appearance, character, etc, .... That's our nature. So, I think your view is correct. You find other women attractive physically but you're not fantasizing about them; not lusting in your heart. I don't see an issue...
