Is Physical Attraction Important in Christian Dating?

I'm joined by my friend, Catherine, to ask if physical attraction is necessary for a romantic relationship?

We answer what attraction actually means, what it should look like for Christians, and why yes, it is important.

Exccellent video! As a practising Catholic, physical attraction is one necessity when it comes to Catholic dating. Otherwise, it will never work. It is not to be confused with being good looking or not good looking. For there are many good looking men and we won't be physically attracted to them and many not so good looking men people would be attracted to. For me, it would be a soul connecting with another soul. The soul God has for one specific person and when this happens physical attraction, emotional connection, personality, intellect, faith etc all comes together as one package. Being 40 and single I am not settling just because a man maybe into their faith or because they have a great personality etc. God designed love to be the complete package.

I've been around, worked with, or otherwise known very objectively beautiful women, and other than the clean-yet-surface-level appreciation of their beauty, I've had no attraction, and it's usually due to being aware of their connections to immoral beliefs or other incompatible things. There's no judgement for their shortcomings - I have my own of course - but when it's regarding a "non-negotiable" point, it prevents further attraction, even if we are able to chat, work well, etc. Some of them may have even been Catholic, but at best they'd be "used-to-goers". I don't have much exposure to actively practicing Catholic women other than those in my immediate circle, of whom most are already married, or otherwise not interested.

Interesting hearing this from a woman's perspective.
