well, rather often it's the husband that leaves the marriage. Why is it okay for them to leave, but the wife can't?

And my name isn't "woman".. lol
1 Corinthians 7. I do not permit a wife to leave her husband. And it's not okay for the man to leave. Anyone leaving their family has grave consequences with God. It's no small matter.

A separation is a formal legal matter. We are not supposed to bring the courts into our lives. 1 Corinthians 6. There's no grounds for that here. No one is in danger.

Separation does give a distraction, but under the circumstances that she already finds other men more attractive than her own husband I would advise she stay put. it is all to easy to be tempted and turn farther away if she is not still under the direct guidance of the man she chose to marry. maybe a few hours but not a vacation...
She's not leaving him. She's going away on a holiday to pray for her marriage and gain clarity and wisdom from God in how to fix her marriage.


What if her husband worked abroad, that separating too.

my personal opinion is that you are looking to your husband to give you all the things you want. Like significance, acceptance and peace. Two halves don't make a whole.

"I do not find him attractive at all. I feel like every other man that I see is bettering looking than my husband."

It seems as though you're mind is set on the desires of the flesh. I would recommend praying and reading the word of God. I've been with my husband 23 yrs and I can say from experience, when you stray too far from God, Satan starts tempting you but when you draw close to him, you see things in a different way.

1 John 2:16 (KJV)
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world

Romans 8:5 (NIV)
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

Ask God to give you eyes to see your "first love" and all those traits you loved in him. You have lost your first love and it is possible to retrieve it!!! God's grace is enough for you as you depend on Him to change YOUR perspective. This verse is worthy of memorizing or posting on your mirror: Eph. 4:31-32 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you along with all malice and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you".

Try counseling. You said vows and promised to be with each other forever. I think you should be careful and not give in to temptation to cheat on him since you find other men attractive. That's not fair to your husband.

What exactly would you like to change in his appearance? have you offered to join a gym together? Or go and get hair cuts together.... etc depending on what you would like to change. Working out together can be a great bonding activity for the two of you.
