Does romance lead to fulfillment?

Single, married or any and all other varieties of a love life seem to breed dissatisfaction over time. Is fulfillment even possible? Or is it just the human condition that no matter what we have, we want something else? We want new and shiny and this can be a relentless pursuit... and maybe even a source of depression in the end. What's the deal?

A great therapist may propose that we are looking to something outside of ourselves for fulfillment, when real fulfillment can only come from within. We all seek pleasure in various ways and that's part of the spice of life.... but if we're looking to be truly at peace and content on a deeper level, no amount of sex or chemistry will satisfy our deeper need for lasting joy and contentment. For those just looking for fun and frolic, party on;) .... but for those of us looking for something more meaningful to us, we may need to look beyond romance to be "complete" and truly satisfied. What could/should that look like? Maybe exploring our needs and wants is all we need to do, at least for a start. Who knows what magic may unfold:)
