  i think the problem with loving someone for their looks or money is that people can lose their money, or find someone else who is richer. we can lose our looks or our partner can eventually become bored with our bodies/style. ideally, we should seek a more permanent connection or have multiple (3+) points of attraction. we should, if we can, wait until we have found a person to whom we can become securely connected. >
  
  There's no such thing as a permanent connection in an adult romantic relationship.  There a few fixed characteristics about a person worth betting a relationship on. Everything from personality, intelligence, and preferences are subject to change over one's lifetime. All it takes it one serious brain injury or economic depression. I think the best we can hope for is our partners not changing too much for our liking or us growing to love (at least accept) the changes they undergo.
