Two Rationals married to each other do not have this problem. Two Rationals are likely to be fascinated by each other's research and discoveries, by their tools and technologies, and when they find the time to come together they have intense discussions, logical, esoteric, critical and competitive.
Please Understand Me II by David Kiersey.

CS Lewis describing Joy in A Grief Observed.
