I don't think a relationship can work if you're not attracted to your partner.
Clearly, when we see someone of the opposite sex, then we're either physically, or emotionally attracted to them.
In other words, we find something either physically or personality-based that attracts to someone of the opposite sex.
If you are not attracted to them physically, or attracted to their personality, then of course, you're not going to have a romantic relationship.
You could be in love with someone else, even if, you're not attracted to them physically.
For instance, you might love them because you're attracted to their personality. Many couples have married others because of their personalities as opposed to their looks. This explains why you might have a physically unattractive person married to a physically attractive person becuase they were basing their romantic relationship on their personalities as opposed to their looks.
Bottom line: If there's no attraction physical, or personality-based, then you can still love them in a platonic, friendly manner, but not romantically as in the type of love you would have for someone else if you were to marry them.
