Please observe below Clause Pattern:

SV/SV(A): Verbs that are optionally followed by an adverbial (= ‘a preposition + each other/one another)

Below verbs can be used to form above pattern:

agree, alternate, argue, balance, clash, coincide, collide, combine, communicate, compete, (against/with), conflict, consult, contend, contrast, co-operate, correspond (to/with), disagree, engage, fight (against/with), integrate, mate, merge, mix, part (from), quarrel, relate (to), separate (from), struggle, talk (to/with).

E.g.:

1.      They agreed with each other.

2.      His moods alternate between optimism and pessimism.

3.      They’re always arguing with each other.

4.      I don’t think these two demands can balance with each other.

5.      Their beliefs clash with each other.
