due you think beauty is a criteria for a sucessful marriage life

hmm i think yes, but its not all about beauty of wife,it is how she manage the family, how she take care of the kids and her husband, beauty is a bonus in marriage.

Wow! Interesting topic. Taking care of one's self for his/her partner is part of marriage. This means preserving good health and yes, looking good for the spouse. I think it's part of making a marriage work. Just because one is married, s/he should stop taking care of his/her looks, right? :)

If beauty was the only barometer, then there would no longer be any divorce in Hollywood but the exact opposite is happening. Beauty attracts the eye, but personality gets the heart. Have you ever heard a husband say something like this to you? "I can't bear the sight of my wife. Even when she's sleeping. She looks like a drooling horse." And mind you, I know his wife, and she was very pretty but the marriage didn't work because they never really loved each other. He only married her because he impregnated her. Point is, if you despise someone, no amount of beauty can ever rectify the situation. Beauty fades. but when you truly love someone, even if she looks like a crossover between a donkey and a guinea pig, you'd still love that person no matter what.

Beauty is never enough to have a successful marriage. What is that beautiful person has the ugliest character? Beauty can never compensate the other flaws. This is why two people must live together for a while, in order to better understand each other and to get familiar with each other's excentricities. Marriage bases on mutual respect, trust, love and then comes the beauty. It should never be a determinitive factor for a successful marriage.

I have to disagree, beauty is never a criteria for marriage. As one has already mentioned, celebrities are the people with most failed marriages, so with that being said, beauty doesn't have anything to do with having a successful marriage.

No. I don't think so. First before you get married to anyone, you are mostly attracted by specific qualities which may be beauty, innerself or others. If beauty was the determining factor then why do most people marry and divorce about two years even though the person you married is still beautiful as she was before. I think it more to do with compartability and commitment.

I guess its dependent on each person specifically. It depends on if thats a critera of importance to the individual. And then to put out as part of this response the beauty is also different. It doesnt mean that they are miss usa. it means that they are attractive to the other person. What can that beauty be? it can be any attribute that the other person sees, I think my husband is gorgeous. Not sure if everyone else would think so, but I do. And he thinks I am not hard on the eyes...A bad character for me makes the person look worse.

i don't think so. a lot of marriages are based only on the beauty and finish after a few months or a bit later. And this is a big problem expecially when there are children and their parents don't agree. So that I think that beauty is important, but that it isn't the main aim of a marriage. The main reason to marry someone is to love each other!

It is of course important to be attracted to someone that you marry, but that had better not be the only reason you are marrying someone because if it is it will never work. You have to be able to stand to be in the same room as someone you are married to and even if they are pretty it does not mean that you will want to put up with someone you don't get along with for very long, it might be OK at first but you will eventually learn to hate them no matter what they look like. Not to mention, people get older and they change. You will get older and you will change marriage is a lifelong commitment and you better have something more in common with the person you are married to then just their looks.

there are persons who need beauty in their life,So they try finding a person who is beautiful and get married,its their way of bringing joy in their life,they get what they want,Not every one are like that,if so then some will be left unmarried.

Hahha....my new comer friend I not think like such because I am looks like witch and my husband looks like star but I got married and live happily and running successful marriage life. Adjustment is necessary in every marriage life.

A person is attracted by beauty at first. if the spouse does not adjust and always fights or argues with the partner, then the mariage will not be succssful. No one is lower and partners cannot be boss, love is sacrifice, sharing, caring, giving, forgiving, forgetting bad words once said and loving partner above all inspite of differences. We cannot change the personality of a person overnight, but partners can appreciate small acts of kindness by giving back true love.

i think it i important to like how your partner looks, but that is not the same as beauty, we all find different people attractive, they don't have to be perfect specimens to be attractive. so physical attraction matters, but that isn't the same as being beautiful.

I dont thing beauty in the outside will help much in a marriage, with the years of marriage husbands dont see much the beauty in the outside of Us , they mostly see the real Us inside Us, but, We , women have to keep nice and beauty for ourselves not only for husbands.

Yes I think it is important. You don't need to look like a celebrity but at least you look nice, neat and you take care of yourself. I think some partners are driven to infidelity because their partners don't try to look beautiful anymore.

I think that beauty is low down on the criteria for a successful marriage. More important are compatibility, shared values, similar interests, trust and love. In the case of an arranged marriage then good looks are simply a bonus. A couple might get on well but when they have children they might have different opinions.

Beauty without good character will soon fade. If your spouse is beautiful but behave badly, overtime you will not even see that beauty again. To me beauty is more in the heart.

i can not think it is the one and only factor. But i think it is the one of the other important factors for a successfull marriage life. but there are many more factors before it.

Celebrities are beautiful people. And most celebrity marriages are not successful. So, I can say that its not a main factor. It can be a minor one, but the main factors of a happy and successful marriage are far from just being beautiful.

If you don't know the character of the person you are marrying then you better don't marry! When you are boy and girlfriend you should use that time to find out how the other person thinks and responds on certain things in life. This includes problems, religion, raising children etc. You will find out a lot about your partner if you go out eating somewhere else, if you go camping togehter for 2 weeks in a very small tent without any luxury etc. If the character is that bad as I see in programs like: godzilla bride I would dump my partner straight away. Perhaps a good idea too, to organize a party or wedding together. Personally I think marriage won't be succesful if beauty is the only positive thing. Since beauty will be gone one day and the beautiful person will also spend a lot of time in front of the mirror and waste a lot of money to stay that way, asking and complaining they are getting old or see a wrinkle, grey hair etc. So no, to me beauty is not a criteria for a succesful marriage.
