Will I offend God if I contradict His will?

English is not my mother tongue so sorry for any mistakes. There’s a girl that God wants me to marry-He gave me repeated suggestions (for example during confession, through the mouth of the priest) to do so. She’s an inteligent, well educated, religious and a good woman. The only problem is that… I don’t find her attractive. I would say she is an avarage looking girl. On the one hand I dont want to spend my lifetime with a woman that doesnt attract me (its rather hard to imagine for me any kind of intimacy with her…), on the other I want to be “fair” with God… Is it ok if I dont follow the path (I believe) He prepared for me? Will I be given a “second chance”? Am I commiting a sin?

Please dont call me shallow, I know there are things much more important than the appearance of a girl…
 
If it is God’s will that you marry this girl, then God will make it possible; and if you follow God’s will, God will grant you happiness in your marriage.

But: how certain are you that God wants you to marry her?
Also how certain are you that she wants to marry you?
It is possible to be mistaken about God’s will.

I suggest you seek spiritual counsel.

May God bless you and guide you.
 
Do the young woman a favor and don’t marry her! If you already have these kinds of doubts, whether they are sensible, shallow, or whatever, you are deceiving both her and yourself.

We do not know the future (unless God reveals it) so we do not know what our lives will become. You could marry one you consider very beautiful and attractive and then all could go wrong after that, or not be interested in marital relations, or so attractive that there are problems from others due to it. Another possibility is that it would be prefect, or another, that you will never marry due to constant seeking.

I thought your English was pretty good.
I can see how you feel. It seems like I can hear a voice, but I can’t tell if it’s God or Satan. Satan must be pretty tricky!
Also, what isn’t attractive? If it’s looks, I think we’re all guilty of judging by looks sometimes. It’s part of human nature! Maybe get to know her and start being friends. Sit near her and hang out with her once in a while. Perhaps God will show you that she is right got you.
