: I had thought of "made for each other" as a way to translate the phrase (almost like your suggestion), but when I saw her explanation I didn't think that it would come close enough to the meaning she needs.

Yes I put "made for each other" to begin with, then changed it! I decided that is the same *word play* as the Italian, because it is a play on words even in Italian. Well it's advertising isn't it, so needs a catchy phrase.

: Strictly speaking, "made for one another" implies that there are more than two of them. It should be "made for each other".

Too sure I'm almost taking a shot in the dark for the usual lack of context. That means you'll have to squeeze your neurones where I might have lent you mine...
