importance of responsible parenting
Importance of physical attraction when considering marriage?
I’ve been with the same guy for nearly 5 years now, and we get along really well. He’s a good man – responsible, very loving and affectionate, would do anything for anyone type of person. My parents love him, I love his family, everything is great…except one thing. I’m not passionate about him – i don’t find him physically attractive, and it’s difficult to get intimate with him b/c of this. This just recently became an issue, b/c we’re starting to discuss the prospect of marriage. Sex is horrible unless I’ve had a few drinks, and the guy just can’t kiss. I’ve tried giving him pointers and telling him what I like, and he’s made efforts to improve, but something is always missing. Can I possibly marry a man under these circumstances? Shouldn’t I want to rip his clothes off when I get home from work? Where’s my butterflies, weak knees, loss of appetite? Are these necessities or should I keep him b/c he’s a good guy, which let’s face it, is hard to come by? Help 
Frankly you sound pretty shallow to me. You can’t seem to grasp the concept of what’s really important in a long term relationship like marriage. Common sense should tell you that physical attractiveness fades when one gets older, some faster than others.
If looks are your priority then I guess you will be marrying on the basis of “Mr. Right Now” because a few years down the line when he starts getting fat and ugly, you will just have to trade him in for a newer, sleeker model. Sad.
