That takes us up to line five, where her wedding dress (her own outer appearance) is not as beautiful as a younger woman beneath her 'station'. I think that this talks more about the hard won uphill battle that any relationship requires if it is to endure. By the time you reach the 'golden years' you have a few battle scars. But this kind of relationship is richer and more fulfilling than those that were based on mere physical attraction. Here I feel that regardless of what she looks like, he prefers her because of the depth and meaningful exchange of two people who are now old friends and have learned what real love is. This is a friendship based on affection and personal inclination that has survived the test of time. That says a whole lot.

If anything I think that hex 54 talks about how sexual attraction can not be the basis of a long term relationship because it will fade. But sexual attraction can enhance a relationship that is based on good principles and creates a bond of intimacy between two people that can help them get through times when they are at odds in other ways.
