What is complementarity?
Complementarity refers to the unique and fruitful relationship between the sexes, man to woman and woman to man. Through their difference, man and woman complement each other by bringing their own distinctive person to the relationship. In marriage, this complementarity shines in every aspect of the spouses’ relationship, especially when it comes to making love and having children. As parents, a mother and a father bring distinctive gifts to their children, allowing for a full context for personal formation.
