Any relationship primarily built on physical attractiveness is predestined to be short lived.
Interpretation
What this quote means
A relationship based solely on physical looks is unlikely to last.
Zig Ziglar highlights the importance of deeper connections in relationships, suggesting that if a partnership is based merely on physical attractiveness, it lacks the foundation required for longevity. True fulfillment in relationships derives from mutual respect, emotional connection, and shared values rather than superficial qualities.

Marriage is an effort to legalize love. It is out of fear. It is thinking about the future, about the tomorrows. Man always thinks of the past and the future, and because of this constant thinking about past and future, he destroys the present. And the present is the only reality there is. One has to live in the present. The past has to die and has to be allowed to die.
