I've heard of a lot of the criticism about the MBTI as well, and I agree with a majority of it. I'd thought my disclaimer sufficed enough to ward off the down votes.
In any case, it was thrown out there to see what sticks. "What makes a relationship work" is hard to measure at best. But I have to think, just as the article makes some generalized assumptions from some rough figures, there might be a correlation to other rough observations, even if they don't hold up to scientific levels of scrutiny.
tl;dr: I don't think any of what's being discussed is able to be isolated as a defining factor of what makes marriage successful. But it's interesting to speculate.
INFP engineer chiming in. While MBTI is not scientifically credible, nor is Freudian psychoanalysis but it was a big deal in it's time. But hey, you're a fire sign.
You can't throw the baby out with the bathwater, and while we're at it, check out the FFM [1], it's got stats and everything!
