Do two very opinionated outspoken people ever have a successful relationship together?

I was thinking about all my friends and just people in general that I know that are in relationships. I don't know one relationship where there are two over opinionated people. I usually see a more reserved person with someone that has a lot of personality. The same goes for loud people. Usually they need to find someone that can counteract with them to make things work. Have you ever seen it working with two people that are like that?

Yep. My grandparents were like this. They fought over everything. My brother who is like this is married to a woman that may even go step further. It works it just seems unconventional to others. They have the type of relationships where plates get thrown at people's heads but they love each other to death. What better partner for an infuriatingly opinionated person than someone who gives as good as they get. They'll drive each other crazy but they'll do it as a team. They don't want to be with someone who will cower under their conviction. They would spend the rest of their lives apologizing for things they aren't sorry for. An opinionated person won't entertain an alternative opinion unless it's delivered with conviction. All my family are like this. People think we're always fighting but in fact we're just debating. I've made people cry during what I consider a debate. You don't want to be married to someone who will cry every time they disagree with you.

Yes, that is what keeps the relationship working. Two out spoken people keeps the relationship interesting it's a lot of fun to have someone to debate with. Someone to make you think even harder, choose the right words. It's fun, to prove your significant other wrong, or have them prove you wrong, or it never ends.

I mean when it comes to relationships sure you could have someone that isn't outspoken, isn't opinionated, it's super brainy. You could get someone that you're physically attracted to, but eventually you'll want more than just sex and grow tired of them, but when you have someone that has your same interest and is equivalent to you, you'll never get bored and have your perfect match.

So yes, people with similar or the same personality do work out

I tend to see the reserved people with the outspoken people. Though I suppose, as long as the two people had the same opinion, then two outspoken loud people could function well enough.

I am more reserved and quiet than my boyfriend. But heaven help him if I put my foot down and decide something. There is no changing my mind :p And we can fight like cats and dogs about it lol. 99% of the time I'm just like, "Sure babe, whatever you want to do is good." but that 1% I'm like, "Aw hell no that's not happening. Think again."

it's the best relationship. it actually works better than you think. both of them can have an intellectual conversation about absolutely anything. instead of trying to have a conversation wtih a stupid (girl/guy) who just have no personality and can't have an opinion at all. although I got to admit it won't work if they are hard headed and won't admit when their opinion is wrong

Opinionated people tyically like to argue, so it's only logical they marry someone they can argue with very regularly.

It doesn't work out so well, it's constant fighting over dominance, especially when the two are stubborn. It's really draining, and eventually one person, usually the same person just wants peace and gives in. I think with some people they have to have a quiet person that just agrees with whatever they say, otherwise it's just a blood sport honestly. Sometimes people would rather be right than be happy.

[RedSmartie]

NO. Unless they agree on EVERYTHING, it will be a disaster.

Two loud people might work out, but two outspoken and opinionated people will probably kill each other if they think differently.

Absolutely it works... As long as the girl always gets to be right.
