The You Complete Me Principle

Post written by Dr. Corey Allan.

One of the most damaging lines to marriage is found in the movie Jerry McGuire.
And it’s not Show me the money.
Here’s my response to the idea of you complete me.
If you try to create intimacy with someone else before you go through the task of becoming whole yourself then all your relationships will be an attempt to complete yourself.
