Love Completes Each Other
The infamous line from Jerry McGuire, "You complete me." has been used over and over again to emulate the romantic relationship between man and woman. The concept didn't get introduced by the movie, however. It was introduced by God Almighty.
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)
If two lie down together, they keep warm, but how how can one be warm alone? (Ecclesiastes 4:11)
There are all kinds of euphimisms out there that indicate the Truth of Scripture in this regard:
"She complements him."
"They're a match made in heaven."
"They're a perfect match!"
"Opposites attract."
"I'm attracted to her."
In the beginning, God created Eve to be Adam's partner. "It is not good for the man to be alone," said the Lord God. We are made to have connection with one another, male and female relationships. It's God's design!
While we have differences, of course, those differences are meant to balance the unity of marriage. We shouldn't always expect to agree on everything, but we should prayerfully consider the opinion of the other always without dismissing it. Give the right of his/her voice to be heard and realize that no marriage can survive on one person's decisions alone.
