I appreciate the thoughts and the good-humored posts, but my question was more the existential meaning-seeking version of the single high-school guys' question, "Dude, my life is really lame and sucks really bad because I don't have a girlfriend, so if I get a girlfriend will my life not suck so hard?"

So I'm really asking whether having an intimate relationship in your life makes other parts of your life (work, hobbies, ect.) more meaningful, or if having an intimate relationship in your life is irrelevant to the meaning you find in other areas of you life.
