I don't think you can really, truly be the partner you want to be until you know on an absolute level that you are a complete person on your own.

I don't really believe that you need to be married to someone to be their life partner.

When you feel complete, you don't need to get married, and you don't think about it.

Is our desire for partnership just an evolutionary remainder, a Togetherness Delusion, where millions of women only think they need a relationship to be truly happy? Maybe. But you know what? That's fine with me.

I think it is very natural to want to be partnered, but you never know. you read about mature love affairs in the press, and it gives you hope. You think: 'Well, it's not impossible.'

There's nothing wrong with wanting a partner and doing the things to have one. To protect ourselves, we have to say, 'I don't need one.'

It's not necessary, in order to be a complete person, that I have a man. It's not the end-all, be-all of my life.

We make no greater voluntary choice in this life than the selection of a marriage partner. This decision can bring eternal happiness and joy. To find sublime fulfillment in marriage, both partners need to be fully committed to the marriage.

I don't believe in having one partner for your whole life, but I hope I get married. I want to have a husband and two kids and a nice little life baking pies. I'm quite romantic. It's definitely important to have someone make you feel special.

No partner in a love relationship... should feel that he has to give up an essential part of himself to make it viable.
