You make me better
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As unromantic as it may sound, relationships and marriage are a lot like business mergers. When two successful companies merge, the result is a stronger, more powerful force. In relationships, the same can happen when two people join together.
A lot of single people struggle with the idea of someone else making them better. We already think so highly of ourselves! How can you upgrade something that is so wonderful on its own? It’s not just the women that think this way, either. Single men sometimes think they are perfect the way they are and any efforts by a woman to change him in any way gets met with resistance.
Do you think there is a difference between changing someone and helping them grow?
I remember in the film, As Good As It Gets, Jack Nicholson says, “You make me want to be a better man.” What a powerful sentiment that was! How many people have met someone that makes them want to be a better person or the best person they can be?
Thanks to Mr. 2 for the topic idea
