Admin	When did attraction become an issue? Posted : 20 Dec, 2009 05:09 PM I had a thought some days ago that goes like this; to be in love is an embellishment of the truth. to love is love itself. We often separate being 'in love' with someone from loving someone. I gather that being in love is steeped in the phenomenon referred to as attraction. attraction is normal right? i have yet to find anywhere in the bible that talks about attraction..lust yes, but anything close always led to a fall. it is understood today, due to our primal urges that attraction is key. but what right does it have in a person who is born again? when born again refers to us fighting daily the sins that 'killed us with death'? isn't being forever hitched to your downfall going to lead you to hell? i am beginning to get a clearer picture of what love truly is and funny enough when i get an understanding of some foreign concept i remember something my dad told me.."you don't have a clue what love is" and he was absolutely right. as he is most of the time. so my question is this, when did attraction become an issue? p.s although i would appreciate the survival of the fittest theory, i'm more focused on the impact of attraction as it relates to the born again :) Nyanda!

Human nature. But my "attraction" to someone gets more or less intense the better I get to know them. Post Reply

Posted : 6 Feb, 2010 03:43 PM Hi Nyanda- I personally feel that attraction is definitely a requirement for a spouse, even if you are a Christian. If my spouse was not attracted to me, yet married me, I do not think it would be fair to me, because I do not want him to try to make me feel like he is disappointed in me or that I do not live up to his standards or that I am not good enough. So if I am not attracted to a guy, I will not marry him. As far as beauty goes, I really think it�s a matter of our perception, but our perception can definitely be influenced by our culture. In the US I do wish our perception of beauty was a little more diverse. I do think it�s on its way to being more open-minded, but the media had fed us the same image over and over of what we�re supposed to look like. The social conditioning is almost like brainwashing. There are so many characteristics that can be considered beautiful, whether physically or personality-wise. Post Reply
