Author	Thread: Do opposites really attract?
Admin	Do opposites really attract? Posted : 22 Dec, 2010 06:35 PM I find that the best couples are the ones where there personality and charcter are opposite. Example... one spouse is quiet and reserved..(usually the husband) and the other spouse is out going and personalible (usually the wife.) I think God matches our strengths and weakneses with our spouses opposite strengths and weakneses so couples fit perfectly together making a stronger bond. Where one spouse is weak in one area the other spouse is stronger. Any opinons? Post Reply
View Profile History	Do opposites really attract? Posted : 30 Dec, 2010 07:29 AM Looking to fill a void in your own strengths and weaknesses is a natural thing to do; especially when it comes to your mate for life. When two become One�it makes sense to be attracted to someone that has a quality or qualities that you are diminished in or lack completely. On the other hand�there is also the �phenomena� of Curiosity. Some of us tend to be attracted to that which we know to be �bad� for us, simply because of curiosity. The �danger� inherent can be intoxicating and stimulating. If we are quiet and reserved�we are curious as to what it might be like to be �loud� and �reckless�. The �bad boy� that mom warned us about has an allure simply because he is an �unknown� that we cannot control. Like a �wild� animal which we are privy to it�s day to day workings. Why watch it on TV when we can �live� it? Yes�people do look for �Complements� and this is a good and natural thing. No�opposite characters are not a good thing (in general) and usually lead to Heartache. Beauty and The Beast�is a different story. Post Reply

My late husband of 27 years and I were in many ways opposites but kind of like the 'Jack-sprat' thing learned to complement each other. We were alike in some core areas including the desire to weather the storms together and basic sense of humor. Sometimes too much alike means also the things we don't like in ourselves (like our kids sometimes manifest) and that can be very annoying as well. God made us so amazingly complex (or did it just happen with the big bang :ROFL:) I think it's a little like making music or cooking where the ingredients need to compliment each other. Post Reply
