Attraction
These two Type 9s are drawn to each other’s affection, acceptance, open-mindedness, tolerance, and mutual tranquility.
Both desire harmony, peace, security, and comfort in their relationship.
They appreciate pleasant routines and are content with simple pleasures.
Together, they feel completely accepted and loved for who they are.
Potential Challenges
Both avoid conflict and may struggle to communicate when problems arise.
A Type 9 may view the other as too indecisive, distracted, indifferent, and irresponsible.
One Type 9 may misinterpret the other’s silence and obsess over what might be hidden, while procrastination may increase anxiety.
A Type 9 may see the other as too suspicious, accusatory, provocative, overly anxious, and skeptical.
One Type 9 might blame the other when things go wrong, claiming they were just following their lead.
The "potential challenges" arise in an Enneagram-type couple primarily when they are not in harmony with themselves. With communication, each person's investment in the relationship, and mutual understanding, these challenges can certainly be avoided and resolved.
