Where it feels easy

  • Antenna Two Laid-back people stay calm through slow replies, so things feel peaceful. The catch: the small signals you send each other are easy to miss.
  • Conflict Two Direct people clash loudly but sort it out on the spot. Research says couples who argue hot and repair fast can go the distance.
  • Belief Two Grow people treat problems as things to fix together, which makes them the most persistent through rough patches. The catch: constant tune-ups can crowd out time just to enjoy each other.

Where it bumps

  • Distance The more one reaches in, the more the other steps back — a reach-and-retreat loop. Research describes this as one of the most common sources of friction between partners.
    • Close — Don't read their need for time alone as rejection — it may simply be how they recharge before coming back.
    • Own space — Before you step back, say when you're coming back: “I need a quiet night — talk tomorrow?”
