Paul: Do you really think that getting married is going to make it all better?
Do you have any idea of how many married people – how many parents – feel as empty as you do?
Let me ask you, when was the last time you felt real happiness?
Mia: A couple weeks ago when I thought that I was pregnant.
Paul: And what about that made you feel good?
Mia: That it wasn’t just me, that my life had meaning. That there would be this – this other person, always.
Paul: Have you ever considered that maybe it’s not about a child, Mia, or a husband?
Maybe that’s just a picture in your head from – from your family, from your friends, from—from the culture?
Not everyone needs that to live a full and contented life.
Maybe what you really want, Mia, is to feel connected – authentically connected – to somebody or something else.
