Hello! Can someone correct my TOEFL-essay?

Question: Do you agree or disagree: It's better to marry someone that is similar to you, rather than someone who is different from you. Use specific reasons and examples to support your explanation

My answer: What should you do when you are trying to put together two puzzles, but they don’t fit each other? You should either cut them, or just give up trying. The issue of puzzles that don’t match resembles a couple when the husband and the wife are distinctly different from each other, and therefore unable to live together. I don’t think it’s a good idea to marry someone different from you for several reasons.
First, the issue of culture and religion is one way that can cause difference between two people. If you marry someone from a distinctly distant culture or religion, the consequences can be really painful. Some traditions and rituals that are considered normal in your finance’s culture might seem awkward and strange to you. The families of the husband and wife might not always accept each other because of the differences. Another question that appears is whether the couple’s children should be raised in one culture or the other.
Next, the language also can cause problematic differences. If neither of the parts speaks each other’s native language, how are they supposed communicate? Of course, a mutual language and body language is one way, but such communication is very limited. Many languages have inside jokes, which don’t make sense if you attempt to translate them. Some jokes might come from movies, which are not always familiar to both the husband and the wife.

Thirdly, many people who support marrying someone different argue that we could learn something important from such marriage. I disagree with this statement, because I believe we can learn also from people who are similar to us. There are no to people who would have same opinions and experiences about everything. This is an obvious difference. Views and thoughts might be similar, but never exactly the same. Besides, growing up in families where the values are very distant, learning from mutual experience won’t always succeed, because the differences are too great.
So to sum up, I believe that marrying someone similar to you is better, because the similarities, such as traditions, language and views, make mutual understanding and communication easier. Both parts of a couple must be able to communicate well with each other in order to create a healthy relationship.
