Oh my , all of these replies nail what I want to say as well.... what can I add...
Let me just say, I ENJOY looking at attractive people -- to say otherwise is LYING through my teeth and I know it, and my husband knows it too.... I notice a physically attractive Good looking man.... not that my tastes are all that normal... I love the Lanky long haired rock star look the best...Give me a young Axle Rose or Kurt Cobain -- Would I want to marry that type - HELL NO!!
....But as these replies have so beautifully expressed ......
This is fleeting...these are just seconds of "a tickle thrill"... this is not butterflys welling up inside our soul for the one who has BEEN there.... who we delight in, who delights in us....how their love makes us FEEL inside with what we share....the treasured memories, the laughter, the yrs of faithfulness & joy, who makes us feel ALIVE, who by being in our lives, we have become better people ....who we admire, adore for all they ARE before us... who has wiped our tears in sorrow and shared our highest highs... basically touching our hearts & souls....
When I look at my husband nearing 50 oh so soon (I hate getting older

)...I can still see that gorgeous young man I married on our Wedding day.... it is like the yrs have not even passed...what gives ME this ability... is truly that "beauty" within....that has been spoken of in this thread. There is NO MAN who could light a candle to him.

Its the way he smiles when I can actually get him to blush about something naughty. Its the way he loves our daughters. Its the way he loves me. His face is the one I want to see when I go to bed at night and the one I want to see when I wake up in the morning.
There are many attractive people in this world, but there is only one person who lets me be close enough to him to see the beauty within.
