How they're connected
Same strategy: you understand each other deeply, but you also share the same blind spots.
What draws them together
Two Threes as a couple aren't common, but when they do meet, they appreciate each other's "anything is possible" attitude. They usually have several projects running at once and support each other's careers. Each tends to have their own professional world, because they can end up competing with each other even at home.
The couple's social life revolves around people with similar interests and around activities. These are people who do things together rather than simply being together.

Working together
Threes are most valuable during the growth phase: they sell, promote, and act fast. Trouble starts when they have to compete with each other. Then they may hide contacts and look for a new position. It helps to give each their own area and to reward team success more than individual success.
