Wow. I am impressed, to the point that I find it hard to believe. I've known so many men who fall in love with their eyes instead of their hearts, and then wonder why their hearts get broken and become embittered FR wimmin-haters.

Another thing you will notice--a man whose self-esteem depends on his wife's appearance is also due to many divorces.

I'm a Doctor,
One learns to look beneath the surface for meaning
The story is much too long for here

Nurses are frequently very good judges of ones worth
So are Pastors / Priests
To see past the veil

I also had gotten burned badly as a teenager
by one who was “gorgeous” but empty

It was a painful lesson, but most durable

Married for >3o years, she aint killed me yet

The Divorce is due to a breach of oath

But, be that as it may
Love of Self is a projection of God's Love
ANYTHING else is an illusion,
and will collapse like a house of cards

Outstanding commentary on this...

Till We Have Faces
To my mind, one of C.S Lewis’ Greatest works

It will break your heart,
and give it back to you both mended and much stronger

How can we meet the Gods face-to-face
till we have faces

How can we gaze upon His Face
when we wear all these veils and the masks
