In Fiddler On The Roof Tevya is talking to his daughter. He says a fish may love a bird, but where will they build a home? The idea is that they need to have more in common.
Growing up I heard opposites attract and my parents were mostly opposites. I thought my ex-husband and I had much in common, but over the years I discovered we were very different people. We clashed!
I think rather than alike or opposite, it is complimentary that I am looking for.
Someone described it as earth people and sky people, but I am a sky person and my ex was definitely an earth person, so it is not as simple as that either, although I believe it is closer.
A dreamer, a romantic, an artistic sort needs someone with their feet on the ground. Someone who understands the importance of stability and reality.
It does not mean they are polar opposites, just that while floating freely to securely anchored tethers, neither one floats away into deadly waters.
There are some necessities in life that are necessary if it is to be enjoyable. A safe place to live and food for both the mind and body are starters.
