Many people enter into marriage thinking that their new relationship will make them happy or fulfill all of their dreams, however, if a person is unhappy and unfulfilled before marriage, then they will also feel empty and unfulfilled after marriage.

Why is the above mentioned true? Simple. Not one single person or thing in this world is big or wonderful enough to fill the void and the empty space that we are all born with in our hearts. Someone once said that to try to fill that empty space and that void with other people and the things of this world is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. It just will not fit. Another popular saying is that everyone is born with a God-shaped vacuum in their heart, and until God fills that void, a person will remain in an unhappy and unfulfilled state.

When two unhappy and unfulfilled people enter into marriage, they start to look to one another for fulfillment. Obviously, when this happens, both parties will come up dry every time and marriage problems soon start to occur. Patrick Morely states in his book, “Man in the Mirror”, that in this situation you end up with “two tics and no dog”. That is, they will typically “suck the life” right out of one another, and, soon, they will be turning to other things and people to fill that empty spot.
