Now, lets be honest here. What were you looking for when you were searching for a wife/husband in the organization? Was it the good looks of the other person, or maybe the spirituality they had, or maybe the good job he or she had? As witnesses we were encouranged to look for a spiritual spouse, and a person who was busy in the field service. Did you let the elders determine what was the good choice for you? Was it really any of their business what makes you happy?

I guess you were the only brave person on this forum to be honest enough to answer that question.

When I was a young, svelt, supple, goodlooking 18 year old, I began dating someone 11 years older. He was 6ft, about 380 lbs. and he had a big head too. Everyone talked about how spiritual he was. And supposedly my "spiritual" qualities are what attracted him to me. (yeah I bet)
I dated him, and evenually was engaged to him, even though my 'worldly' co-workers couldn't understand why. I thought I was proving how spiritually minded, and not shallow I was by marrying this ministerial servant. Turns out he wasn't as 'spiritual' as he claimed to be. Then again who is?
Though now I still don't put importance on physical aspects, it's still nice to have a physically fit person to sleep with *blush*

I was going to wait until the "new order" so I could get someone with both good looks and spirituality. I was waiting for a perfect person, in a perfect world, and have a perfect marriage, but in the meantime I was going to put the kingdom first. What a wise person I was!

I can't comment for myself cuz I was never a single dub, but my ex didn't look for the spiritual type, cuz she ended up with me!
(not that I'm a hottie, just not spiritual)

Hey Matty..... I bet I could break you of that.
<151>..... you do indeed qualify. I guess I did indeed end up being shallow. I couldn't stand the idea that I was going to have to sleep with him on our honeymoon. (yuck)
Do you ride a bike 151? I like little bike riders tooshies

Hottie - no doubt. Had the 'spiritual'(read: ugly) girls thrown at me, but I could never go down that road. Lucky I ended up with a not-very-spiritual, now apostate hot girl

From my experience with 'hovahs, I gleaned that the real "spiritual" men who were, well, let's say "hot" from a woman's point of view anyway, married UGLY "spiritual" sisters. It looks weird when you see a handsome man with a, let's say, not very attractive woman. Also, the hot "spiritual" sisters will pick an ugly "spiritual" man, especially if he's a corporate WTS latter climber. The "spiritual" sis's love the power and prestige.
