A long time ago on an almost forgotten post in this blog I wrote this sentence:
In chemistry the molecules that have the strongest bonds between their individual atoms are the ones that are formed between atoms of elements that are placed as far as possible from each other on opposite sides of the periodic table. Like NaCl, sodium chloride. Or more commonly known, salt.
So it can also be the case with us, humans. The more different from each other a man and a woman can turn out to be, the more their marriage has this potential to work out for the best. To be a successful and lasting union.
On such a marriage each member of the couple will have to be always adapting to the other. Always questioning his or her own values, long time ago acquired in their lives. And that will keep their minds more and more open by the years.
In this process both man and woman will get together spiritually richer.
* After this had been put in written form, I proved this theory of mine in practice. I can proudly say "been there, done that".
