Someone who completes you or someone who compliments you? If you meant "complements", then that is what I want. I don't need to be completed, and I don't need too many compliments, but if she complements me, then that's awesome! AGG

Hey excuse spelling errors, I was tired-- <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> If you meant "complements", then that is what I want. I don't need to be completed, and I don't need too many compliments, but if she complements me, then that's awesome! I'm asking as I tend to believe from reading various posts, many people go into dating looking for someone to make them a whole person, when they are already a whole person.

Exactly AGG And "mutual complementation" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> would be the best! Thorned: I'm asking as I tend to believe from reading various posts, many people go into dating looking for someone to make them a whole person, when they are already a whole person. Yes. Looking for someone else to make you whole is a no-win, particularly in a LTR. 2 whole persons = 1 whole team! FR
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It’s just a matter of how you look at them. The purpose of life is to live it, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience

Compliments. I can only complete myself. I've always thought the term "soul mate" was romantic nonsense.

Hey excuse spelling errors, I was tired-- <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Sorry, I wasn't picking at your spelling. I simply was not sure if you meant "compliment" or "complement" - both are valid words and valid choices with different meanings.

I'm curious what does that mean to you? Let's start with the scripture... 10 [c] A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. I really believe it goes along with the whole idea of being a compliment/complement to her husband. The scripture is about a wife of noble character. So while she does have fine things as you read about how she is clothed, she doesn't just expect that her husband provides them. She is resourceful, she is a good steward with what the family has, she brings honor to her husband. The bottom line is she doesn't expect to be treated like a princess, but because of how she treats him, she is treated like a princess by a very greatful husband. She is not a wall flower, not a spendthrift. She is wise in the ways of business and prepares for her families future. She is a partner and not dependent upon her husband. That's what I want, someone who is honorable, reliable, can carry her own weight, earns the admiration and respect of her children as well as her husband, who thinks of others, such as the poor instead of just thinking of herself. Not that I expect her to do it all. Rather, I want a wise and loving partner. Not someone with unrealized expectations. Like many others have said here. She should be happy and complete before I meet her. But we would compliment each other. In areas where I may be weak, she can provide strength, and vice versa. T

So you don't look at the Proverbs 31 woman as weak, and mild mannered and staying home caring for the home? Like most men do? Your a wise man...that see's what a true Proverbs 31 woman is. http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=Virtuous
