I 100% agree. I'm all for family, love, partnership and etc. And yet, unless we value ourselves, take time to know ourselves, become someone, figure out our feelings and the sense of life; we will not feel complete and would try to substitute the emptiness by finding someone else to put on a pedestal.

I think we're all been fed the nonsense idea about finding "our other half", "our best half" and so on. While in reality, we don't need anyone else to make us whole. Only when we feel complete and love ourselves, we should be looking for a relationship and have children. Sadly, this isn't usually what people do.
