Depends really on the Personality traits and Needs of the 2 people involved. Some differences complement each other. Some dont.
And that too depends on the type of problem the couple faces which is not static and changes from year to year. The same couple that complement each other in one situation can be completely hopeless together in another.
So its all about Awareness and Communication of what your traits, needs, strenths and weaknesses are.
Obviously thats non trivial cause the chimp brain is not really designed for such things. The brain looks outward not inward. It takes much more work to look inward.
So all chimps fail a test to produce a list of their personality traits and needs, strengths and weakness wrt to different situations
that matches what their partner will produce of them and vice versa.
Couples that minimize that gap, and its lifelong hard work, are usually the most long lasting.
