Minimalist descriptions of duality
First -- of course relationships are more complicated than that, and all of them have the bits I am listing -- I am suggesting that the specific dualities give more focus to them, though.
From the functional pairings:
Se - Ni: We want to accomplish the same goals in our lives.
Ne - Si: We have fun exploring the same things and sensations.
Ti-Fe: We share the same ideals and want to make each other laugh.
Fi-Te: We want to understand each other and find the same kind of information useful.
So, from that:
INTj-ESFj and ENTp-ISFp: We have fun exploring the same things and sensations. We share the same ideals and want to make each other laugh.
INFp-ESTp and ENFj-ISTj: We want to accomplish the same goals in our lives. We share the same ideals and want to make each other laugh.
INTp-ESFp and ENTj-ISFj: We want to understand each other and find the same kind of information useful. We want to accomplish the same goals in our lives.
INFj-ESTj and ENFp-ISTp: We have fun exploring the same things and sensations. We want to understand each other and find the same kind of information useful.
I am suggesting that, very simplistically, these are the points that, when they are not met, are most likely to cause a failure in the relationships of these types.
For instance -- let us take Slacker Mom's marriage (ENFp-ISTp). I do know that she doesn't share his enthusiasm for cars and such :) -- but surely what I described works in other things, on other levels?

I like this one the most based on first impression, especially the bolded part.

i hate criteria like this. personally, i find that a lot of the focus directed towards meeting goals is horrendously out of place in my case. i don't know if the same is true for LIEs, but i really don't see a point for setting or meeting goals at all; i find focus on a goal to be a highly wrongheaded and unrealistic approach to a problem.
if this particular tidbit were rephrased slightly, eliminating the word goal and focusing perhaps more on general life focus and understanding (although this is also mentioned under Te/Fi, i think it might fit better here. idk.), then it would perhaps be more accurate.

This does seem to be more of a rational thing. I think ESFps need help from INTps in accomplishing their desired goals/lifestyles/objectives though.
