Some of the best things come in twos. Peanut butter and jelly, grilled cheese and tomato soup, Batman and Robin, Phineas and Ferb! Two is a trend that appears quite often in the world, and usually both parties are quite different!
Let's take peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter is a creamy or chunky pile of goop made up of peanuts, it is always easy to spread. Jelly on the other hand is more of a gelatinous substance made up of different fruits which is also kind of easy to spread, in most cases at least! These two substances come from very different backgrounds and if used properly between 2 pieces of bread, can make one delicious sandwich!
This is much like life on many different levels. Most likely at some point we will be paired up with someone to accomplish something. Maybe it is a marriage, or a work or school assignment, or even a missionary companionship. At times, the other you are working or living with may seem to be so different form you that you can't imagine how anything good can come out of that situation. But remember the peanut butter and the jelly. They are both very different looking and different tasting as well, yet when combined correctly, make something exceptional!
I would encourage anyone who is in a "pair" for whatever it may be, look to find how your different backgrounds and personalities compliment each other. Look to put the right amount of peanut butter and the right amount of jelly on this sandwich of life and enjoy every second of it!
