Sean,
Thus the dilemma of life! Fighting thought habits of a lifetime is strenuous!!
You may have heard me say before, 'All our instincts are wrong!' Of course, that's tongue in cheek, but it is true too often.
Our expectations of others and for ourselves is strongly linked to our body image. I remember the horrors of dating life, when I began to realize that physical attractiveness was not even a hint at the content of character or even whether the person was interesting!

Almost 50 years after the "I do" I agree Friendship must play a dominant roll in the Marriage bond especially when Children and Grandchildren enter to confuse the landscape.

I wasn't able to make it today, as I was up north (father's wedding and all... how appropriate), but I really appreciated the opportunity to catch up using your notes.

I think the biggest challenge in this that I've found is the body and mind's innate ability to take more superficial traits (ie: hottness) and either pursue them (like in jacob's case) or masquerade them as depth. This makes it particularly hard to change your when you have to fight yourself the entire way.

Cheers,

Sean
