Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

Love really is blind when it comes to physical flaws, it would seem.
Scientists have shown that there is a degree of truth in the old adage that love is blind. They have found that feelings of love lead to a suppression of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical thought.
Research suggests that we view our loved ones through rose-tinted glasses that overlook the crooked noses, bulging tummies or other attributes that might put others off. As a result, husbands and wives think their other halves are more attractive than they really are.
They say that love is blind. And that's probably for the best.
Most people mentally accentuate their partners' better qualities. At least during courtship. If we didn't, who would ever tie the knot? But some folks take these fantasies to cartoonish extremes. Now, you'd think such people are in for a rude awakening when they realize they married a real human being with real human flaws.
But people who maintained the most unrealistic view of their better halves were actually the most satisf
ied with their marriage. When the honeymoon's over, it could be that those who idealize their mates may be more likely to forgive the transgressions that arise when people are no longer on their best behavior. Whatever the reason, the couples should exchange rings-and
rose-colored glasses.
