How can differences between people enrich their relationships?

Differences are said to be the most important thing in a relationship. According to Levinas, because when you are in a relationship (friendship, couple, relatives or whatever) you have to understand others. Understanding others means is making it through differences and valuing the uniqueness of the others. So thanks to differences people can understand each other.

Difference can also help one start to learn new things. A friend whose hobbies are not similar to mine could share their knowledge about those hobbies with me. And we all are aware that there is more chemistry between two different people than between two similar people. Moreover a relationships between two people who look alike is just loving yourself through this man or woman. With someone different you are much more accepting of plurality and diversity. Finally, in a relationship between two different people you create an exchange of what you are fond of, and you will may acquire a more critical and open mind.

1. Said fits better here than meant. It means something like "people say that differences are the most important thing in relationships".

2. It flows better to use the singular form of relationship. Using the plural form is making the text more difficult to understand.

3. We don't use the » symbol but rather ". In this case you don't really need the " but could add it if you feel it is needed.

4. Since you are defining "understanding others" you want to use means instead of is.

5. It is not proper English to start a sentence with And. You could instead use "In addition," or "Moreover". I think "in addition" works best here. "Moreover" is very formal & old sounding. It's kind of like "De plus". Or you could change your structure completely and do something like "First, differences can also help one... Second, we are all aware..... Third, a relationship between two people who look..."

5. It is more natural if you move "there is more chemistry" to this position.

6. Add two before similar people to make the sentence stronger. This emphasizes that you are comparing the same types of groups: two different people vs. two similar people. Previously it read like "two different people vs. similar people (in general,)".

7. You cannot use will and may. You must choose one. "You will acquire" is certain and expressesyour opinion that when you're in a relationship with someone different you will acquire a critical mind. On the other hand, "you may acquire" is not as sure and is expressing your opinion that when you're in a relationship with someone different it is possible (but not certain) that you will acquire a critical mind. Either can be used it just depends on what you are trying to express.

8. You don't need to repeat mind & more.
