Self-esteem can be hard in different ways at different times, and being with someone who is willing to fill in your gaps when you are lacking is a great joy. Even during 7 months of marriage, I've faltered. My husband still believes I'm a great catch--not because I've always believed it, but because he can really help me, and I can really help him. Being able to help is really important to guys. Nobody is fully self-sufficient, and we don't have to be. The Lord is there to lead us along, and many times a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend can act as His hands to lift us up. As a side note, it makes men feel really good to know that they can help you, make you feel better, or solve a problem you couldn't solve without them. Well, none of us is perfect.
