Hm, I'm not sure I agree with you there. I love ENFP's, I'm just saying I can see some potential problems with being in a cohabiting relationship with one. Nothing insurmountable (I don't think much is insurmountable) though.

About staying up all night pinging off each other with e-Ne-rgy, it's a double edged sword. Now and again, it's great to experience. But on a regular basis... when my brother stays over for longer periods, we just get really crotchety and grouchy because of the physical exhaustion, and we STILL can't stop pinging off each other, except that because we're tired and stuff, we start getting sloppy with what we say, then that causes communication issues, and it ends up with that wonderfully energetic and inspiring non-stop conversation turning, after a few days, into something much less positive... even shouting matches...

I haven't been in a romantic relationship with an ENFP so I couldn't say for sure how I'd respond if I were, but based on my experiences with my brother (which are obviously both similar because of the ENxP pairing, but also dissimilar because it's a sibling relationship and we haven't lived together for 20+ years), I can see there being some problems for both parties. But that's the case with any pairing - any relationship will encounter problems. It's how the partners feel about each other that decides how hard they'll work at them.
