It's always on my mind

There are some things that I can never seem to get off my mind...wanting a family, God's role in that relationship, and if that will ever happen. It's almost as if I am always in waiting. Waiting for someone to come and round out my life. Now as much as I like the idea of two people becoming one relational force and sharing/supporting each other through life, I realize that it is a pretty unhealthy thing to need someone to feel complete. But, I don't think that in our humaness we will ever feel "complete." I don't think that we were created to find resolution, but rather it is an intrinsic part of who we are that keeps us in need. It's the beauty of life as opposed to afterlife. I can't even imagine what it will feel like to be fully satisfied and to have that emotion be longlasting. Until then, maybe it's ok to always be on the lookout and maybe it's ok to want a family and to pursue that with vigor, as long as my happiness isn't contingent on being in a relationship I think I should be alright. Or, maybe I just need help.
