To this great list of considerations I would add that what we think is good in the dating phase may not make a strong marriage. The two are different skill sets.

This is basically the issue I’m confronting now. I live in the most obese area of the United States. A cursory glance at dating apps in my area has genuinely unimpressive yields.

As time has gone on, I’ve started to come around to the idea that having a partner you’re physically attracted to is more of a privilege than an expectation. I’m holding out hope for now that I could meet a more typically sized person, but it’s possible I’ll just have to compromise on that and screen for other qualities.
