For trivial matters, disagreement is fine...but not when it comes to values, morals, etc. it's not. It's repulsive.
For example: One is law abiding, the other a criminal. One is a religious fanatic, the other an atheist or another religions fanatic. One is conservative, the other believes in entitlements. One believes in monogamy and family, the other has children with multiple fathers. One is a teetotaler, the other a lush.
Opposites attract when each brings something POSITIVE to the relationship. But basically people in a relationship...a healthy one...agree on most things...the important things. Do you hang out with thugs? criminals? alcoholics? cruel people? liars? cheats? Why not? You say opposites attract... No, opposites don't attract...
The villages is what it is because we're basically in agreement with each other. Like minded people get along better.
