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.

The wife is there and the ego, and the husband is there and the ego - husband is hidden behind his ego, wife is hidden behind her ego, and those two egos go on making love. The real contact never happens.

I don't want our relationship to end like this. You're one of the very few friends I have, and it hurts not being able to see you. When am I going to be able to talk to you? I want you to tell me that much, at least.
