When Opposites Attract

Have you ever heard that "opposites" attract when it comes to relationships?
I believe that men and women are attracted to one another because they are opposites in the way they think and respond.
Genesis 2:18
"Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
"Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
God didn't make one gender more important than the other, they complement one another and help each other in areas each lacks.
Men have traits women need and don't have and women have traits that men need and do not have, the very reason they each need one another.
This is also the reason the devil wants to make each gender more like the other. He is attempting to influence women to act like men and men to act like women causing complete chaos resulting in confused frustration as well as breaking the family bond.
Notice too that God never told anyone else in a family to interfere with the marriage relationship. The marriage relationship is between God and the woman and the man, a triangle with God at the pinnacle.
Genesis 2:24 "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
