Sometimes it’s the person you needed the most who teaches you that you don’t need anybody – especially when you needed them for things that you should first give to yourself.
Things like money. Like happiness. Or self-respect. Or faith in yourself.
Love that’s based on need is a fraud and even if it goes on for a period it cannot stand the test of time. And it makes no difference whether you force marriage into it.
The foundation is still a lie and it will crack with time.
You may feel that you need love but the paradox is that you must first possess enough love within yourself to share with someone else.
Those who will give you love will also require it back. Lasting love is based on sharing, not begging. It must flow two ways or it will dry up sooner than later.
This is why marrying someone for them to educate you never works. It’s based on neediness and you’re yet to do the journey of self-development and have resources within your own life to offer another person, which is the mandatory prerequisite for love.
Even if you enter a union that way and stay, it will just be a shell without life. A prison you’re too cowardly to get out of.
