Strangely, for how negatively Socionics ITR describes contrary relationships, a lot of long-term couples/marriages I've seen were in contrary relations. This is the one relation which sometimes puzzles me when I compare reality to Socionics theory. Personally tho, I don't think I would want to be married to my contrary type. I do feel like they understand me well and we can communicate on the same wavelength, but ultimately I don't feel like I can truly be myself around them.
