Given the rate at which love is fading in homes these days due, largely, to the 'artificial' nature of most young ladies and guys; song writer and music producer, Cobhams Asuquo, gives a fresh perspective to the mystery called love.
Question: If you don’t see your wife, how would you appreciate her beauty?
His answer: First of all, I think we need to look past the misconception that beauty is only outwards. A person is not just beautiful because she looks beautiful. There are a lot of people who look beautiful but who are troubled inside. And the truth is that by the time you deal with their drama, the facial beauty would mean nothing to you after all. I was and I am still attracted to her because of her inward beauty, even though that now she is my wife and obviously within the bounds of marriage there is a certain level of contact and exposure of one to another we are permitted, which helps me even more to appreciate her outward beauty.
Because touch is an amazing thing, and there is so much you can appreciate, there is so much outward beauty you can appreciate with sight that touch gives you a better sense of. So, I appreciate my wife because I am the closest person to her; I am close enough to know when she has just made her hair or when her hair is not combed; close enough to know how she smells and how she feels.
I think there are a lot of things more important than outward beauty even though outward beauty is important. It is not whether my wife wears a smile or a frown, but I can connect with her to know whether inwardly she is happy or sad because looks can be deceptive.
