 Hi sweetness,
All couples are different. Ever heard the phrase "opposites attract"? Or how about "birds of a feather flock together". Even clichés suggest that both can be true. My boyfriend and I are like yin and yang... but I know some couples that are so alike, they're nearly identical.
Maybe couples "complete" each other by being the missing link. Sometimes all you need is love, and someone who understands you like a lover, friend, husband wife. A significant other can be the missing piece to the happiness puzzle. That is completion...
One more cliché before I go... "different strokes for different folks".

 I think that because they both have something to offer, they complete each other. Every person have strength and weaknesses in different areas. I am a very theoretical person, whereas my boyfriend is a very practical person. We complete each other in many different ways and also learn a lot from each other.

 All relationships are different and I don't believe there's an easy answer to this question. Sometimes couples complement each other and one provides what the other lacks, but I know couples where they are both very similar and that's what holds them together.
I guess the ideal couple are able to give whatever the other person needs when they need it. Sometimes one may need to be stronger than the other to help them through a tough time and then vice versa. I think of marriage as a reservoir which is full when the couple are together. Sometimes one of them needs to take out of the reservoir and the other fills it up again. At other times the other partner needs to take out of the reservoir.
The marriage works as long as both partners are willing and able to fill the reservoir when required, otherwise it would dry up i.e. the marriage will fail.
That's just my opinion though. I'm sure there are many more!
