To complete or enhance (your opinion please)?

Question

When you're in a relationship, do you want that person to "complete" you? Or do you both have relatively separate lives, but being together enhances both your lives?

Serious answers only, please.

Answer 1

You should be complete when you enter a relationship for no one can even complete you. Being in a relationship should enhanced both of you, you should be each other's strength but when the other person is missing one can stil stand alone. You can have one life to live but you should not be very dependent on each other. Your partner should bring out the best in you and vice versa

Answer 2

I will answer in the context of a marriage relationship.
The relationship between a man and a woman should be to complete eachother.
My wife completes me. I could not imagine a life as a single person.
We are separate individuals with a common purpose, which purpose would be impossible without eachother.
I know both of our lives have been enhanced in many different ways that only two people faithfully wed to eachother in a sacred covenant of Marriage could understand. When I say this I also mean that those have a relationship with no goal or intent to marry, who believe they are complete and their "relationship" has been enhanced are living a lie. This includes couples of any kind and age. There is no real commitment in these relationships. There may be love but but it is fleeting and fades over time or quickly. True love is commited, lasting and only happens within the bonds of marriage, faithfully commited to with out reservations, without pride, selfishness or deception.
I know lasting marriages are far and few between, hence the unwillingness of men and women to commit to marriage, but they do work when founded and practiced upon eternal and unchanging principles which so many have abandonded and thus suffer ugly consequences for doing so.

Answer 3

I want both. My partner would not only complete me by loving, caring, and respecting me but would enhance my life by being a part of it always. A committed relationship between a man & woman can only be understood by those who are married and share a common bond. One another. It is one of honesty and respect and both enhance one another by completing each other in their quest for a fulfilling life together..

Answer 4

I choose the second. It's nice to have a life together that is wonderful but it's nice to be able to do things separately too. Like having separate girl or guy nights with friends every once in a while for example.

Answer 5

Any relationship should enhance your life. I don't see myself as only half a person and therefore have to rely on someone else to 'complete' me. I am a whole person and would like to have another whole person help me fulfill my dreams while I help that person to fulfill their dreams. Together, we would not be 'one'. Together we are a force to be reckoned with.

Answer 6

I think successful relationships mean that both people are learning and growing together. You're a team, while still maintaining your own identity and interests. Being with a mirror image of yourself gets boring quickly!

Answer 7

Well, if the other person completed you then that would be an enhancement.

Answer 8

Always maintain your independence as much as possible. You don't want to be a clinging vine and you never know when circumstances could change and you could be on your own again. Have your own friends, money, car and keep a job.

Answer 9

I suppose complete.

Isn't either extreme bad?

Answer 10

i LOVE CLEAN!
