Married or not, what do you feel is/are the greatest blessing(s) of being married or in a relationship?

Having someone who can do what you can't and who can't do what you can. If I married someone who was basically a female version of me, I wouldn't need her because we would both be good at the same things and bad at the same things. From what I have seen, the best marriages are between a man and woman who each need what the other provides... and who both realize that.

Quote from an Arlo & Janis comic - they were sitting out on the patio in the afternoon, and Arlo remarks about how beautiful the sunset is shining through the branches of a tree. Janis replies that the tree limb is rotten and needs to be cut down before it falls down. Arlo thinks to himself "Some people would say incompatible. I prefer complementary." There's a lot of wisdom in some of those Arlo & Janis comics...

Balancing one another out. Complimenting strengths and weaknesses.

"A" helps "B" to be more compassionate.
"B" helps "A" to shrug off what others think a bit.
"A" may be an encourager and helps "B" to be a bit more positive.
"B" may be more of a realist and keep "A" grounded. Etc etc.

Also, just having someone to hold you when you've had a bad day, and vice versa. Can't really stress how meaningful that is.

Having someone to hold, period. You have physical proof you are indeed not alone.

Having that one special person to do something with, to talk to.

To Look into their eyes and know in your heart that this is the one, knowing you will never betray them and will only continue to fall more in love with them as time goes on to see their flaws and still know in your eyes she is perfect. To make your heart skip a beat everytime you think of her every time you touch her and to say to her every day from the day you are together till the day you die I love you and it becomes more and more true every time you say it.

with God as both of your pedestal knowing that even though you both love each other so much you are still willing for God to take the other home n your hearts that he is king of kings and that everything we have everything we own everything we are were his to begin with and the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

If God chooses for me to have relationship this is what it will be
