She's hot, but will he stray

If good looks ensured a happy marriage then the glam world would have had fewer divorces. However, that doesn't seem to be the case, especially with men, says a report. The study says that the presence of a glamourous wife doesn't mean that hubby dearest will not look away.




No wonder then that hotties like Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston, Eva Longoria Parker and Victoria Beckham have had to confront a cheating spouse. Obviously, just looks can't ensure fidelity in a relationship. Experts feel that good looks play a minuscule role in the success of any marriage.

One of my friends, who we considered the prettiest among us, went through a series of failed relationships. Even later when she got married, it didn't last for long. It really surprised us all because we always thought that she being the prettiest of the lot would find it easier to find a great match and have a good marriage." So, while most marriages may begin with either of the spouse being charmed by the others' looks, as it progresses, other things like compatibility and trust become the key words. These things affect the fate of any marriage say relationship experts.

No relationship is picture perfect. Every relationship needs to be worked on." She further adds that there are various reasons for a marriage to fail. Not all marriages fail because of the lack of compatibility. She adds, "Yes, it does help if both partners pay attention to their appearance and not just take each other for granted after marriage." Men also agree that eventually it's the company they keep that matters. Says Jayesh Bhatia, a banker, "Men definitely will give a goodlooking woman their attention easily, but that does not mean that they are going to be faithful to her forever.


If that had been the case then none of the marriages in Hollywood would have failed. The reason can be anything from the husband having a roving eye to sheer incompatibility, but good looks don't guarantee a successful marriage."
