For men: Wealth, Nice Car, Successful Career, Nice Clothes, Mansion, Hot wife

For women: Marrying a wealthy Man (sometimes forfeiting true love), a Mansion, Designer Clothes, for some, a Successful Career, having spoiled rotten children, and the biggest desire: To be attractive. Beauty is coveted. Some people chop up their face in plastic surgery or surgery of all forms.

For the men I have a question, and I want an honest reaction: How much does beauty matter to a single Christian man who is seeking a mate? Have you ever considered being with a women that's not so attractive? This I have always wondered.
 
Do you think there is a difference between men in their twenties and older gentlemen?
 
My grandparents are 7 years apart. They've been married over 50 years. :)
 
Honestly for me none of this matters if one does not have a good relationship with God. I would rather be poor and living on the street, than to live without Jesus, and the wisdom and love that He supplies. Having that intimate relationship with Jesus is worth more than silver or gold...or anything money can buy.

Blessings to you all
 
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.

Have you ever been on the street? Because its awful.
I'm glad you know God. :)
 
Not sure. I guess older gentlemen would have a lot more wisdom about relationships than the younger fellows.

Oh i fully agree! My betrothed and i are 12 years apart. A much better match than someone who was my age! I believe my grandparents were at least 8 years apart and were happily married for more than 50 years. They are both in heaven now

Close enough. I have been in many places in life and when i was not close to Him, that was the worst! And yes i agree it is awful! Sorry i didn't mean any disrespect or to bring up any ill feelings.
Yes i am glad too!

I have a question for you........
What happened to seeking God for His desire in a soul mate? When God places that special person in your life are you going to say hey God like they are not good enough or pretty enough ?

I think that God would give you someone you are attracted to. But basing your future with someone 'cause they look good isn't very smart. You have GOT to know their heart.

That is my point......Trust God to this match making. The world has their ways and God has His. I did it twice my way and I have 2 x's to show for it. This time I alloud God to bring it together........Wont be a third ex. ; )
