You know the old saying, “Opposites attract one another.” Introverts often attract
extroverts, early birds attract night owls, a serious person might be attracted to a

• Love
• Commitment
• Understanding
• Trust
• Respect
in spite of their differences.
They lessen these differences by sharing their dreams and experiences. This lets the other half of the couple explore new ideas and see the world through their partner’s eyes. When both are free to do this, the relationship and their common interests grow, making them even stronger as a couple. Remember that love, intimacy, mutuality, commitment, trust, and communication are keys to a successful marriage even when opposites attract.
