Fall in Love with a Person's Spirit not the Looks! by Temitope Oluleye

Have you ever been in a relationship with a very beautiful/handsome woman or man but you were shocked by their attitude or actions? You were enchanted or carried away with their looks that you didn't even bother to get to know who they were. I mean who they really are. A lot of people do say often, "He or she was a sight for sore eyes." A person's physical beauty or handsomeness could easily make you want to fall in love with them. We all love beautiful, lovely things. We naturally want to gravitate towards what captures the eye. The world we live in puts so much emphasis on what is seen but there is a whole other unseen world that has been and is before what our eyes can behold. 

This means that more priority should placed on a person's spirit than the person's looks. I am not saying that it is wrong to desire to marry a beautiful woman or a handsome man, I am saying that in the choice of who you want to spend the rest of your life with, what is more important or more critical than the looks is the kind of spirit they carry. Why? Read the following reasons:

- Beauty can fade with time but the spirit never fades.
- You can't tell if a person is loving, God fearing or loving from their looks but you can tell from their spirit.
- It is from the spirit of a person that would actually know
who a person really is not the looks.
- The ability for a person to make good choices depends on the spirit not the looks.
- Looks will die one day but the spirit will never die.

There are a lot more reasons but these are just a few. So, pay more apt attention to the ways, the actions and the speech of a potential mate and don't be spellbound by just how fine they are. This will save you from a lot of heartbreaks.
