Does one need a significant other?

I wonder about the concept of a significant other. Does family, society, the Bible drive us all into that dilemma of chosing for a life partner or rather the one person to love? Isn't that the real reason why were actually not feeling as being complete?

It depends on the person, on the stage of their life, on how you feel about the opinions of those around you. There can be more than one reason for being with a person. At the age of 22 I couldn't live without my wife, but I've been a widower since 2017 and feel no need and no pressure to find another life partner.
