He Completes Me Growing up, I was very headstrong, independent, and never of the mentality that I would ever need a man in my life to feel complete. Obviously, I was young and naïve, and it was not until I met my husband over eight years ago that I really came to understand that quote, “You complete me.” I have two children and one on the way, none of whom would be possible without my husband.

We make sure we look excellent in different lighting, and quaff our hair just so. We descend down the staircase in a nonchalant manner and then we wait…we may go the entire evening up until the moment we scrub off all that face paint waiting.
