ENFJ in love
Mentors are devoted, affectionate partners who pour themselves into a relationship. The right person for them shares their values and wants to grow together, and they are happiest when the relationship feels like a team with a shared future. They tend to notice a partner’s needs before their own, so they need someone who will notice theirs in return.

Caretakers are devoted, nurturing partners who create a warm and secure home. They want a stable, committed relationship with someone who appreciates their care and returns it. They are often happiest building traditions and a shared life together. They show it in hundreds of small ways, from a packed lunch to a reminder about the dentist, and they deeply notice when the care is returned.
