The Third Law is concerned with how objects push on each other and exchange momentum when they interact.
Equal and opposite forces are present when two objects collide, as shown in the following animation.

The above animation shows two objects running into and bouncing off of each other. There would be a small passage of time during which the collision occurs. During this time the balls push on each other. As hard as one ball pushes on the other, the other pushes on the one.
