ENTJ and ENTJ compatibility

As the ENTJ spouse, you are building a marriage with an ENTJ spouse. Within the marriage, the shared ENTJ style often gives both people respect for the ability to organize people and resources around a clear result.

In this partnership, one person may have more authority or simply more energy, which can make a shared preference look like equal consent when it is not. In this partnership, the similarity helps if each person can still disagree without seeming disloyal to the type they share. A practical adjustment is to say which part of the moment felt personal instead of arguing about intent.
