How close are you and your S/O's personalities?

Do you think a marriage works better when two people think and act similarly so there's less arguments, or when two different personalities come together and each person is able to build off the other's strengths?

Something I'm thinking about after a night of "mind exploration"

My wife and I are the same in every category that matters... Respect, kindness, loyalty.

We differ in just about everything else. I am quick witted, sarcastic, I do not make plans, I procrastinate, and I take nothing serious.

She cannot think on the fly, she is not sarcastic, everything has to be planned, she hates procrastinating, and take just about everything serious.

We absolutely do not fight. Weird.

We're pretty much opposites personality wise, but we're on the same page for the important stuff like how to spend our money, values, child rearing etc. Would be boring to be with someone who was just like me. The important thing is we respect each other and value the others opinions, even if we don't always agree 100%.

Very similar philosophy about family and kids. Similar interests socially, music, friends, etc.

We are different in many other ways like humor and what's generally important or not - but that pretty much sums up men vs women in general.

Opposites in every way and it actually works quite well.

Gf's mom's best friend once asked what we have in common. We didn't have an answer, and just laughed after 20 seconds of silence.

- I'm pretty calm most of the time, and don't get flustered. She gets overwhelmed and mad at least 17 times every day
- I'd rather something be stressful and under the gun. She does everything to make sure everything goes as planned. I don't make plans
- I'm politically center, and she's a liberal. We can't have a single conversation about politics without her crying
- I am a smart arse. She gets upset at some of my jokes, and takes them personally
- She almost always follows rules. IDGAF about rules, and do what I want


She drives fast, likes the same foods, likes to laugh at stupid shite, likes to be outside, and likes to try and keep me in line (which I don't mind). Career and family, we have the same goals in life. She pushes me, and I push her

Like others have said. Same values but very different personalities.

Ours are way different, but it really works. She has strong personality traits in the areas of my personality that I consider flawed, and I’m the same with her.

Sometimes I need a kick in the arse and she will do it. Sometimes she needs to calm down and I’m there to help.

We balance each other out really well and that is because of the differences in our personalities.

This is eerily similar as my wife and I. I couldn’t have explained it any better

Total opposites. I had to learn to appreciate. Strengthened our marriage. We share, at the core of our marriage, items such as joy, honesty, trust, fidelity, legacy and the likes

In the beginning we were as different as it can get. Hell she's CA and I'm LA. Match made in heaven right? After many years her accent has improved as well as her humor and ability to not sweat the small stuff. I've grown to be a bit more deliberate with certain aspects of life.

We are total opposites. He is very black or white, driven, competitive, and has a quick temper. I can see both sides in most situations, very even-keeled, go with the flow.

In our cases, we need people who balance us out, rather than partners similar to us.
