Matching, Ribs, & Dust
Matching
The Quran uses the root (ت ر ب) to describe the spouses in the Gardens of Eternity in Q38:52, Q56:37, and Q78:33. These can be translated as well-matched or equals. So, the delightful pleasure that is being described will be compatible to the very basic ingredient: the dust that essentially each person is created from. Well-matched and equals.

Dust
As can be seen from this screenshot, the root (ت ر ب) is used seventeen times for the word (تُرَاب) which means dust. The Quran repeatedly informs us that we have been created from dust. The word for ribs (التَّرَائِبِ) uses the same root, and the word for the future spouses (أَتْرَاب) of the Muttaqeen, who will dwell as Companions of the Gardens, for Eternity, also uses the same root.
