THere seems to be a lot of people who choose a life partner on looks but should that be the case. I know they should be good looking but is it just that or does personality and religion come in higher than looks.
What do you guys think?
Re: Looks and Marriage
There is no 'should' here.
Priorities vary and therefore, choices vary.
Yet, it's quite true that a nasty personality can and likely will overpower good looks in look term relationships.
Re: Looks and Marriage
Definately not. Yes i dont see myself marrying someone who I don't find goodlooking BUT at the same time i wouldnt marry someone just cuz of their looks. Personality is definately very important and religion is not only important but a must in my case and basically the top priority.
Re: Looks and Marriage
Religion takes top priority according to Islam but both looks (physical attraction) and personality (mental compatibility) are also important. Sometimes an emotional bond can cover the shortfall in looks.
Re: Looks and Marriage
I think religion and personality definitely come before looks. However, looks are quite important in that they don't have to be the most amazing looking person ever, but enough for it to be comfortable, if that makes sense. It would be crazy to choose somebody just on looks.
Re: Looks and Marriage
if i had 2 choices, 1. someone really really ugly but will keep me happy and 2. someones good looking but will not keep me happy id rather marry the first choice because looks can always go but its the personality of that person that will always remain. Lekin i belive in destiny becaUse the one that we are meant to marry is written in our kismat and u will find them good lookin
Re: Looks and Marriage
OR if you find someone really ugly and they are mant to be in your kismant then you might find another quality about him appealing to you, such as you might agree to marrying them because of their education or family for example

agreed
many times i've noticed that sometimes the really good looking ones never really feel the need to adjust their attitude or personality flaws b/c they never needed to. they always got by on their looks.
that attraction to his looks will soon fade if he constantly treats his wife like crap
in a marriage, that attitude just won't work
