It is better to marry some one who's similar to you rather than someone who's different from you

The way I see it, marrying somebody similar to you can lead to a loving and peaceful life, as he may have the same hobbies, way of think and living habits as you. However, it is not necessarily true that it is better to marry some one who's similar to you rather than someone who's different from you.

Usually, we call the spouse as "the other half", which means my spouse and me together constitute a complete "ONE", like two gears matching together. A spouse who's different from you may have different merits and demerits as those of you, thus better merge into your life by making up for your weakness when you two are living together.  For example, a man who is kind of dumb but patient can be a good spouse for a smart but aggressive lady; a gentle, warm-hearted girl and a tough strong guy would become an extremely suitable couple.

On the other hand, a spouse who's similar to you usually has the same strength as you, and you cannot help competing with each other, which cause conflicts or even fight between couples. He could also have the similar weakness as you, and when you were faced with a tough problem you cannot handle, you two may failed to figure out a reasonable solution as his thinking approach is too similar to yours that you both were stuck in the situation.

Therefore, the importance of marriage is not that to marry someone similar, but to marry someone you truly loved, no matter he/she is similar to you or not. To be tolerant, to respect and care about each other, to be open minded and most of all, to be honest to you spouse, and your life would certainly be wonderful and sweet even if he/she is different from you.

总结：

It is refreshing to see a such a clear, simple and elegant piece of work.

Your arguments are clean and and your examples are strong, but the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs seem to be talking about the same issue - 同性相斥异性相吸 - from different sides. To make your essay more elaborate and complete, you should at least add another independent point, e.g. a spouse with different interests offers new explorations and experiences for his/her partner.

The last paragraph could be a little bit off depending on your examiner, because the question is not asking for importance of marriage even though it might hint so, but it's okay to me because you get back to the question pretty effortlessly at the end.

Just pay attention to tense. Generally an essay should stick with the present tense.

Bow～
我自己的感觉是这段东西没有像样的论据支持。我写考试文章常常是有论点没论据。

写论文跟写报告感觉还是很不一样的。平时工作写报告总是又臭又长并且往往没有实质观点。
还在努力找感觉中，希望能在考前积累起足够的感觉。

多谢!
