Then everyone's missing something. @bèlla answered to this. It's ingredients, technique, right mixture!
The recipe you shared ‘how to cook a husband’ also tells that kisses do last.
So I’m okay. Besides, everyone is not my husband. His stomach is spiritual.
Kisssessss do do do do laaaasssssttttt!!!!

Jadedness is a stumbling block to companionship. You can smell it a mile away. It infects your approach, thoughts, words, and behavior. You can't attract a healthy partner when you're jaded unless they're willing to work with you. The majority won't. They'll find someone with a healthier outlook and disposition.
Jadedness produces negativity, moroseness, anger, and imbalance. You begin seeing the other in a different light. Suspicion and blame are commonplace. Dislike creeps in. You'll end up by yourself or with someone equally disturbed.

Pray that the LORD will help you sort through the options, renew the mind, focus on the Kingdom of God, focus on God. Spend time in service to the poor, to the widows and children, to the elderly, to God's children and also spend time sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the unsaved. Pray for a godly wife, an excellent wife; and pray for the grace to be single if that is God's will; pray for God's will be done, not ours. If God wants a man to have a wife, or a woman to have a husband, He will send one in His perfect timing.

As the Holy Spirit teaches us...
"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." (Proverbs 31:30)

I’m new here but interested in the discussion. I’m curious what some of your thoughts are on Genesis 24:16 regarding Rebekah.
16 The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her.
Is this a statement of fact that she was indeed beautiful and a virgin? Or is it just an opinion of the author and may not be necessarily true.

The statement is factual. There are multiple references to physical attractiveness in the bible. Sarah, Rebekah, and Esther to name a few.

Welcome to the forums KTJ... What does scripture say? It's important that we not read into scripture our own personal feelings, but rather allow God's Word to teach us His truth. Let's try to find the truth in God's Word...
The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). Nothing in a person’s outward appearance impresses God. God looks upon the inner beauty, the beauty of one's heart.
There are numerous Biblical examples of people who were beautiful to God, virtually nothing is known about their physical appearance. It was not their physique or stateliness but their faith and service that made them beautiful. The same was true of God's beautiful women: Rahab, Hannah, Ruth, Deborah, and Mary of Bethany. Those noted for physical beauty were often great spiritual disappointments. Rebekah was "very beautiful" (Genesis 26:7), but she was also a deceiver and manipulator. Saul was a man of physical beauty, but his disobedience against God hurt the nation of Israel.
Peter directed Christian women to focus on the inner, spiritual qualities in order to be truly beautiful: "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight..." (1 Peter 3:3-5)
"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised." (Proverbs 31:30)
A gentle and quiet spirit is even more beautiful in God’s eyes.

Because of what women wear in my neighborhood, I'm not really attracted to women who other men find visually appealing. Heck, I know some transwomen who can visually attract men more than a cis woman can, so I really am not interested in appearance. I don't know what I'd want in a wife, but it's definitely not appearance.
