I have used the phrase. I want a relationship that "fits like a glove".
I am trying to come up with a detailed explanation for this. Such as gloves come in a pair.2 are better than one.
Can anyone help me with this?

I would say a glove should fit so perfectly and effortlessly that you forget you're wearing it, except that you're more comfortable because it's there. That's the kind of relationship you want, one that is simple, natural, comfortable, without drama or constant need for adjustment, that fits naturally into your life.

A well-fitting glove should hug you close, look good, and make you feel wonderful.

I think it's just that everything is better when it fits!!
Maybe the analogy relates in some way to hand-holding too...? Like...your hands entwined...with the glove.... 
I think goldilocks is a good analogy. That 'just right' spot of the porridge.
