Love is a primary factor that should exist when choosing a partner; how much do you love that person? How much can you sacrifice for that person? How far are you willing to go for that person? How long will it last? These are all important questions that’ll test your love for a person; but in all these, attraction still plays a significant role in the success of a relationship.
While love might be the engine room of the relationship, attraction is like the oil that lubricates the engine; attraction makes the love fluid, and without it, that extra spice could be lost.
These are seven reasons why attraction is just important:
1. IT KEEPS THE SEX LIFE ALIVE
It’s easier to have sex with your partner when you are physically attracted to that person. Attraction brings that desire to be intimate with each other. Many psychologists have noticed from their sessions that a major reason couples go weeks, months and even years without having sex is a loss of attraction.
2. IT PROMPTS TOGETHERNESS
Attraction is like a magnetic force, and no matter how busy you are, it’ll always pull you both together. Even time and distance pay respect to the magnetic force of attraction.
3. YOU TAKE PRIDE IN EACH OTHER
You’d rarely see the physical flaw in someone you are attracted to. This is because there’s a sense of pride attached to attractiveness. You take pride in each other when you are both attracted to each other.
4. IT ADDS SPICE
The fact you both love each other doesn’t truly guarantee that you’ll have a spicy relationship with each other. However, you can’t be attracted to a partner you love and choose to have an ordinary relationship with that person. Spice and romance will be added to your marriage when there’s attraction.
5. IT GOES BEYOND THE EYES
Physical attraction might start with the eyes, but it goes beyond the eyes. If you are married to a partner that you love and are physically attracted to; there’ll be a tingling sensation in your heart that could make you want to go the extra mile for that person.
6. ATTRACTION COULD BE A CATALYST FOR LOVE AND BOND TO GROW
When you get more attracted to each other, you’d want to show each other more love and there will be a greater desire to be together and bond more. Couples who get attracted to each over the years build togetherness and have a better bond than couples who don’t.
7. ATTRACTION CREATES A SENSE OF HAPPINESS AND EXCITEMENT
One of the reasons many marriages lose its happiness, thrill and excitement is a loss in attraction. When a couple stop being attracted to each other, so many things stop. Date nights, gifting each other, togetherness and so many other things die off, and this will kill the once exciting life you both had.
Many married couples have quite a successful marriage even without attraction; but couples who have love and attraction will always be a bar higher.
