Physical and emotional attraction between partners is essential for romance, not optional. Without mutual attraction, a relationship becomes just friendship. Dismissing attraction as unimportant actually damages the chemistry that makes partnerships work.
Attraction matters. We live in a world and you'll have people do this. Attraction doesn't matter. It's all in the heart. Well, first of all, that's part of attraction. Second of all, if they're not attracted to each other, this is a friendship. And I'll get people going, well, attraction shouldn't matter. No, no, no. Hollywood looks should not matter. What you see online in the social media, those looks of attraction should not matter. But your partner being attracted to you, you being attracted to your partner matters. It matters because that's how chemistry takes place.
