When we are satisfied with someone or something, we have enough.
When we have enough, we are content.
When we are satisfied by someone or something, we have a need.
When we have a need, we are not content even though we may be temporarily satisfied.
Satisfaction is something we either have or need that is given to us by another.
Contentment is an attainment that comes from within our Self.
The need to be satisfied comes from the belief that we do not have enough and that scarcity and limitation exist.
When we are satisfied with our partner, we share our contentment with life with them and they share their contentment with us.
Without contentment we will be dissatisfied by life and need our partner to satisfy what we feel is missing in our life emotionally.
Without contentment, we will never be satified, only temporarily relieved of what we believe that we need emotionally.
