"Like me" might be better represented by the words "validate me". I want you to validate me, because i will validate you.
What does validate me mean?
We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the plant...I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things...all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'.
~Susan Sarandon, "Shall We Dance"
