Healing Together for Couples

True Love Means-Looks Still Matter

By Suzanne Phillips, Psy.D., ABPP

  • “I love you but I don’t love that large Disney Sweatshirt.”
  • “When did marriage mean you would stop shaving on the weekends?”
  • “Everything you tried on looks great– why can’t you wear any of them?”
  • “I think they said casual not throw-away.”

For most people, there was something about the physical characteristics of the person they fell in love with that tripped their chemistry into response. Should that stop mattering when the wedding is over, the kids are in school or the retirement is planned? Not Really.

This is a culture that pushes looks, youth, beauty and the icons that possess theme.  For those seeking a partner, there is a considerable amount of interest in what catches the attention of men when meeting women and what women find attractive in a man.

  • Excellent stuff.

  • good site!

  • Well in the end looks help but I dont think someone will leave their true love because he/she did not shave. Of course, it is nice to keep appearances up. In the end, love is still blind.
