ESFJ + ISTJ

Though there are fundamental differences in energy levels between the two, this match is worth pursuing.

Both ESFJ's and ISTJ's are Sensing-Judging types who are attracted to security and stability.  Both keep a tidy home and adhere to schedules.  Both live in the moment more than most other types, and both find the other fascinating yet comforting. 

Despite their similarities, ESFJ's and ISTJ's might occasionally hit a rough patch because of how they handle their emotional needs.  ESFJ’s primarily look for authentic, emotional connections and need to be needed.  ISTJ’s are more self-sufficient and detached.

For this pairing to work, the ESFJ needs to understand the ISTJ can provide stability to ESFJ’s life, but it is unnatural and exhausting for the ISTJ to be emotionally expressive.  In turn, the ISTJ needs to understand that the ESFJ lives for emotional connections, and consistent communication is required for the ESFJ to not feel alone.
