“What’s the perfect combination of Energy Types in a couple relationship”?
The answer is that there isn’t. Each couple will have unique challenges and successes based on the combination of their Energy Types. Anne and I discuss each combo’s characteristics, strengths, and challenges in this series about every relationship combination of Energy Types. You’ll gain new insights into how you and your partner can be more supportive and create more joy in your relationship.
If you’re new to Energy Profiling, learn about each of the four Types in my book It’s Just My Nature and in the Dressing Your Truth Beginner’s Guide.
In the copy below, I’ve included an affirmation for each combo to support you in creating an honoring relationship for you and your significant other.
Join me in the Healing Center for the Relationship Restset Course to learn ways to strengthen your relationship. We begin March 10th.
And now, in no particular order: The Carol Tuttle Relationship Series
The Type 1 & Type 4 Relationship: Episode 1
They say opposites attract, and how you approach such relationships can create conflict or highlight your greatest strengths. In Episode 1, Anne and I delve into the dynamics of Type 1 and Type 4 energy in relationships, discussing the challenges and offering tips for each type to foster a supportive and honoring connection. Watch to understand how your partner can serve as your biggest mirror, reflecting your limitations and empowering beliefs. You’ll be glad you watched it!

The Type 2 & Type 4 Relationship: Episode 3
A soft heart plus a sharp mind—that’s the Type 2 and Type 4 relationship.

The Type 3 & Type 4 Relationship: Episode 5
In other words, the power couple. Imagine the determined push of Niagara Falls and a structured, firm iceberg together; that’s the Type 3 & Type 4 relationship combo Anne and I talk about in episode 5. This confident relationship thrives on partnership. But when things are out of balance, challenges can surface. We tackle topics such as which Type will want to be in charge vs. which Type will want to be the authority? Who will get loud when they aren’t heard, and who will get icy? Which partner wants to “wear the pants”—or will it be both?
Affirmation for this partnership: I am grateful we are operating in a partnership experience. We are both valuable, we are both heard, and we are both influencing the beautiful relationship we are experiencing.
The Type 1 & Type 3 Relationship: Episode 6
The go-go-go couple! Extroverted, light Type 1 energy combined with the extroverted push of Type 3 energy will keep things moving between you! As with all relationships, there are strengths as well as challenges. In this video, Anne and I talk about how your energy could affect your Type 2 and Type 4 children.

Affirmation for this partnership: I am grateful we are aware of the details that are most important, and we check in with each other in a timely manner, which helps our lives run smoothly.
The Type 1 & Type 1 Relationship: Episode 7
The fun-loving couple! While it’s rare for both individuals in a relationship to share the same Energy Type, it does happen! Luckily for this couple, it can be pretty easy to enjoy each others’ similarities and differences! Anne and I talk about how important each person’s secondary energies will be and the challenges they may face regarding more serious aspects of life: budgeting, planning, having difficult conversations, etc. Watch the video to see for yourself.
Affirmation for this partnership: I’m grateful for the fun, light nature of our relationship, and we are mindful and following through on what is most important in our lives.
The Type 2 & Type 2 Relationship: Episode 8
Ahhh…the calm, quiet couple. While most relationships have two different Energy Types, it’s possible for two of the same Types to find comfort and peace in each other. That’s exactly what Anne and I talk about in this video. You’ll discover how to navigate challenges, like tending to avoid uncomfortable situations and conversations, holding onto items and emotions, and honoring high-movement children in the family. You’ll also recognize strengths and how each person’s secondary brings a different gift to the relationship.
Affirmation for this partnership: I am sensitive to my truth and my partner’s, and we are taking appropriate action and leading our lives with joy in a balanced way.
The Type 3 & Type 3 Relationship: Episode 9
Talk about a charged relationship. While it doesn’t happen very often, there are times when both partners in a relationship are the same Type. When it comes to the Type 3 couple, this brings about intense energy! Anne and I discuss the strengths of this couple when each person is in a healthy, balanced state. There’s going to be lots of adventure and confidence! We also address the challenges that are essential to be aware of for this couple to enjoy harmony! Watch to see what we mean.
Affirmation for this partnership: We love life’s adventures and are aware of enough details and plans to support them.
The Type 4 & Type 4 Relationship: Episode 10
Out of all the relationships with two people of the same Energy Type, this combo is the most common. Their strong preferences to certain opinions and values can attract someone who feels equally bold about the same things, too. As in every combo, there are strengths and challenges. Anne and I discuss these thoroughly to provide support in your journey. We help you discover more ways to understand each other, honor secondary energies, and make space for the children in the home who may not be Type 4s.
Affirmation for this partnership: I am true to myself and supporting my partner in being true to themselves. We are each our own authority, and we come together in a beautiful partnership and move forward easily in what we value and feel is important in life.
