The mind does allow you to find the similarities and put aside the differences. You will find out how similar you are with a SO when you renovate/decorate a room/home. She wants blue, you want brown - different. You both want a couch and a recliner - similar. You both want curtains, etc... - similar. In the end: "we have very similar tastes." Whatever happened to color? Who remembers, everything else fell into place.
I am not criticizing the "mind", I am just trying to expand on the thought. In any case, I like to think this is how it is intended. You need to have differences to keep things interesting, but not too many to make it difficult. It has seemed to work for us.
