absolutely!!
Yes. I watch the show "Modern Family". At the end of one of the episodes, they said this quote about dreamers and realists that I really like, and feel describes my husband and I perfectly. It goes...
“There are dreamers and there are realists in this world.
You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers, and the realists would find the realists but… more often than not, the opposite is true.
You see the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun.
And the realists… well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground.”
My husband is the dreamer and I'm the realist. I've never had a problem getting off the ground, but my husband pushes me to dream bigger than I'd do on my own. I make him think about the possible consequences of his actions before he does something, as opposed to after.

yes we balance each other out, it wasn't deliberate and I didn't even notice until after years of marriage. We have common goals and approach to life but where he is weak I am strong and vice versa. I have a sharp tongue and quick tempered, he is infinitely patient with our children and I, he is a spender, I am a saver etc. I think some of these opposites were in us before we got together but others developed during our relationship.
Perhaps there is some truth in the cliche 'opposites attract'

One thing to note... just because many say that their husbands balances them out......I personally wouldn't recommend going to look for an "opposite". You need to be able to enjoy his company forever, and if you're completely opposite from him, you're bound to divorce.
I think the differences/balance needs to come together organically.
