5 REASONS A RELATIONSHIP SHOULDN’T BE BASED ON BEAUTY

Many people have made the mistake of entering a relationship solely based on the beauty of their partner. Inasmuch as we love it when our partner is good-looking, beauty shouldn’t be the ultimate reason for a relationship.

Like a famous verse in the Bible “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is vain”. Interestingly, many people go into relationships just for the sole reason of beauty and charm leaving aside other important qualities. Any relationship that thrives solely on beauty won’t last a long time; every relationship passes through hiccups, and beauty isn’t one that would help you through all the hiccups in relationships.

We all make that mistake of falling into the trap set by beauty, and beauty just has a way of breaking through all the guards we’ve set around our hearts, feelings and emotions.

Below are reasons why beauty shouldn’t be the ultimate for entering into a relationship.

1. BEAUTY FADES

There are so many lasting characters in an individual but beauty isn’t one of them. Beauty could fade off same way it could grow, beauty isn’t permanent and is never a friend to age, beauty is easily prone to accidents and the lot; so what happens to the relationship when the beauty fades off? What keeps it going when the only thing you thrive on is dead? Beauty dies too, so any relationship that’s based on beauty definitely won’t stand the test of time.

2. SO MANY OTHER BEAUTIES

If you are attracted to your partner’s beauty, there is nothing wrong in that; but it’s a different story when that beauty is just the sole purpose of that relationship. There are many other attractive people out there; lust for beauty is somewhat artificial, and you might just see yourself moving from one to another with no purpose. But this might not be the case when your relationship is based on other solid factors.

3. RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS OUTWEIGHS BEAUTY

Surely, every relationship must pass through a phase, a test or what I call hiccups; beauty won’t be enough when the cracks in the relationship starts coming up.To withstand all those problems every relationship face, you would definitely need more than beauty.

4. BEAUTY DOESN’T GUARANTEE LOVE

Beauty isn’t love and definitely doesn’t guarantee love; though one sure thing beauty guarantees is lust. The feeling of attraction beauty brings isn’t enough for love, and really beauty could as well be deceiving. You can love someone and still love the person’s beauty; but when you love someone’s beauty instead of loving the person then the relationship isn’t on the right track.

5. BEAUTY DOESN’T GUARANTEE COMPATIBILITY

Compatibility is one attribute every relationship should strive to attain. When partners in a relationship are compatible then the relationship would most definitely be on the right path. But when you choose the reverse and make beauty the key thing, compatibility isn’t assured.

 

Beauty could really be charming and deceitful; most times we let our eyes deceive our heart, and this would never be a plus to our relationship. I’m not castigating beauty but it definitely shouldn’t play the major role in our relationship.
