“You Complete Me!” Or do you?

How much do others contribute to each of us finding happiness in our lives?

We have all seen those sappy movies where someone says “You Complete Me!”. “I have found my other half!”. “Without you, I’d be nothing!” “My better half!”

These all allude to someone else contributing in a major way as to the happiness of ourselves. Can this be true?

My very practical family always tells me that “Someone else can not make you happy, you have to find it yourself!”. Not that I’m not happy, or needing someone else to make me happy but I just don’t see anything wrong with the addition of another person to contribute to my happiness!
