Understandably, people who seek emotions and a relationship based on passion get along well with like-minded people. If you are more of a negotiator or builder, you will have a hard time viewing this spontaneity or this way of living in the present moment, because you prefer stability and family values.

According to the author, these are the most explosive couples, who are constantly going through ups and downs, who separate and reconcile, who love each other intensely but who can get bored as soon as they have it. they want.

2. Builders form good couples with builders
