I agree with Happy. It's all about finding the right person, and if the Spirit reveals to you who that person is, then I don't have a problem with "rushing" into marriage. I do think that some people make mistakes by "rushing" into marriage with the wrong person, but that is not something that I can really judge.

Comments: I've thought on this many times even though I'm still a virgin and saving myself for my husband. I guess that's why we are told not to have sexual relations until marriage because that way we don't go in it expecting something from experience.

Comments: Of course sexual attraction is important what we need to ensure is that attraction is based on love and not fantasy and then you will see that it all fits together.
Family Home Evening: Sexual Intimacy Is Sacred and Beautiful
"For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh" (Ephesians 5:31).
Many parents avoid addressing the topic of sexual relations and sexuality with their children. Some parents incorrectly assume that talking about sex will encourage their children to act out sexually or that their children are too young to have questions. Ref. Source 8
Years ago, the Church stated we need to check off as many as possible, the things we want in a spouse, and even though sexual attraction should not be at the top of the list, it needs to be there.
Our spouse is half of us, after we marry, we need to happy about that other half or it will sour over time and cause resentments which can rip the marriage apart. The less problems you have, the less both will have to continually ask for the Lords help to make it work.
When I first married, the Church used to say, any two righteous members can marry and it will work, that might be, if both are Celestial Being, but it does not work for us who are more human carnal; it is hard to fight our inherit aged character and desires.
Whatever attracts makes it harder to pull apart so yes, sexual attraction is important, but in the first instance since there are no sexual relations before marriage I think it should be called "Physical attraction". What can help this is if you like the SAME physical things, for instance exercising.
