Mated is the appropriate word. It implies just what I mean. One of the Valkyries would make a perfect mate for a warrior hero. An equal partner in all things, war and peace. Someone to drink with, fight with, live with. Someone that could provide everything a man, a warrior, would ever need in a woman. His best buddy and sex partner.
