How does bodily attraction change with time between married partners?

It appears that bodily attraction play some role in initial stage of love which we call romantic love. However when their love turns into mature love, when partners accept each other for what they are in ';reality'; does bodily attraction still play any important role? I am unmarried but curious to know from others experiences.How does bodily attraction change with time between married partners?
When I first met my husband, of course I thought he was attractive. When we would go out on dates, he was at his best (freshly showered, nice clothes, etc). But, once you've been married for a while, you do see them at their worst. You see them with the flu, before they brush their teeth, in their comfy p.js. sitting on the couch covered in potato chip crumbs. You know, the stuff they did when you weren't around before. But, that doesn't change how attracted you are to them. Sure, the ';newness'; wears off after a while, but you actually become attracted to them in different ways, in addition to the immediate attraction that you once felt. It becomes a much more significant, more full fulling.





Sure, there are days when you look at them and notice that they may not have as much hair as they used to, or that you have a little more jiggle then before, but, that doesn't even matter. The longer your with someone, the more you love THEM as a person, and the less importance you put on how they make YOU feel. How does bodily attraction change with time between married partners?
There is no answer that would include all individuals. Some people say that physical attraction lessens over time, some maintain the attraction, and a few experience an increase in physical attraction. For myself; physical attraction still plays a wonderful part in my marriage, but there have been times when it lessened and other times when it increased. Stress, work, illness, parenting children, or aging can inhibit physical attraction; but time spent together, shared activities, and attention to each other can enhance attraction....it has not been all or nothing for my husband and I. We've been married 28 years and are enjoying each other very much.
Physical attraction does fade as both partners grow old. That's why, I will just marry someone because of their character, not the look.


The good-looking one is just the SEE-FOOD, just for SEE, but for long term relationship, never choose this kind. ( but of course, he/she gotta be at the same ';level of beauty'; with you)





The two must look matched together so that strolling down on the street make them look great! ( Not an oh-so-big woman with a skin and bone man for example)
Sure!However you still love the person for who they are and maybe not so much how they look. For example I don't love my husband less because he is balding and I still think he is handsome.He doesn't love me less for not ever losing those extra 15 pounds.
Hit it hard before she has kids because afterwards she might have stretchmarks.
