Ibn Al Jawzi said:
A man fell madly in love with a woman because of her looks. He worked so hard to marry her, and he finally did.
After a period of time, he walked passed a stinky pile of dung..he said: you know that lady I married? She’s uglier to me than this pile of dung.

Ibn Al Jawzi commented:
and this is the status of some men, he will favor a stranger woman over his wife - in reality, his wife maybe he much more beautiful. But because he didn’t see the flaws of that stranger woman yet, he thinks she’s better.

And once he gets what he wants & the flaws are unveiled, he quickly realizes that he misjudged the situation.
So he gets bored again, & maybe seeks other women.
Moral of the story:
-lower your gaze
-don’t be fooled by looks
-looks won’t last
