INFP and INFP compatibility

During discussing a purchase that changes the household budget, a same-type relationship is not a doubled personality: two INFPs may reach similar conclusions for different reasons or want different outcomes from the same method.

Within the marriage, pressure may lead each person to compare ordinary limits with an ideal that was never stated, which can amplify the habit rather than balance it.
