use of 'between'

when I typed "Unicast addressing uses a one-to-one association between destination address and network endpoint." Microsoft word is showing a grammatical error. Their explanation is as follows:
The noun immediately following "between" should be plural. Using "between" implies "between two things."
Does it imply that my sentence is wrong?Please help
Thanks in advance.

Your sentence is fine. There are two things after "between": "destination address" and "network endpoint". Word is getting confused by the technical nature of the sentence.
