For me and my hubby, no. We are opposite in most things. We have been married for 25 years and I think it is the differences that keep things interesting. We like being married and we like each other so we use our differences to complete our relationship.
For example, with money....I am a saver and he is a spender. Now, for most folks that would drive each other crazy and maybe even apart. For us we use it as a benefit. If it was not for me we would not have a savings account nor a 401K or life insurance. If not for him, we would not have a boat, two Harley's in the garage, or property in Washington, Oregon and California. I have benefited him and he has benefited me.
You just have to choose to look at your marriage as a union of two different people that add to each other. I am 100% an individual in this relationship and he is 100% an individual so "we" are 200%!!! We do not try to combine ourselves into one. I don't want him to be like me. I benefit from what it is about him that is different from me.

No not really. My husband are different on many lines. He is a brainiac when it comes to math and science. He is in school to be a Nuclear Engineer. I got my degree in Communications. We are total opposites. He complements(its the right spelling) me though. Whatever I dont know he does know. Whatever he doesnt know I know. We work really well despite we are different from one another. I dont think you are going to find someone who is exactly the same as you. That gets old. If you had to live with yourself forever you might just go crazy.

Not on my side of the fence. My hubby and I are complete opposites (personality wise) but it is our differences that contributes to our growth in our marriage. My husband even joked one day that my "tricks" were rubbing off on him...lol.

Yes, unless you both enjoy conflict. Look for complimentary differences instead. Smaller differences, but not so polarised that you can't meet in the middle on most issues.
