Before you are married the correct and healthy attitude is that a spouse is a want, not a need. Those who get married because they "need," either that person or to be married, inevitably either fail in the marriage or create a misery - no one can fill the bill on that level and one is immature and likely has significant "issues" to come at marriage and spousal realtionships from that direction.
However, once married you grow into one flesh - I need my heart - it is not a want!! LOL However, a spouse is more like a right arm - still very much needed - but one CAN find ways to deal without it if mandatory - but we still have the phantom pain and our mind/soul still has the memory as if it is still there often - just as when we loose a spouse, for what ever reason.

He helped me find my true self, for that he is a need, I needed him for that purose. I never in my life thought that I would ever get married, so he was in no way a want, but now that we are joined together, I want him to be with me, to stay by my side until we are called home to heaven. So I would have to say that my husband is a gift, a blessing, a need and a want. There is now way to put him in just one word.

It is OK to want to get married, but when you obsess about it and it becomes a "need" a force driving you, that is when you do stupid things like marry someone who is totally wrong, and maybe even abusive. |
