Pretty much everything. We share the same sense of humour, same ideals , philosophy on life ,politics, goals, moral outlook, and have very similar tastes in music, films, hobbies etc.... His taste in music being even wider than mine he can have some eye wateringly painful tastes occasionally but apart from that I would say we are pretty heavenly matched.
Our personalities are very different, he is more sociable and gregarious and I am more of a loner and maybe more severe but these only make it more interesting.
We love doing the same things which make our social life a lot easier.
What we have in common is our plan and desire to keep our marriage strong and happy and raise our children in the best way that we can. We try our best to put the other person first and work on the things that we believe will accomplish the above sentence.
i have nothing in common with my current partner but our hometown and the nature of our work. it saddens me bec i think we are about to call it quits. but maybe it is for the best. you need to have similar values for a relationship to work.
We both love music, but our tastes are different.
We both love movies, but our tastes are different.
We both love books, but our tastes are different.
She loves to work in the yard while I loathe it.
She loves home renovation while I loathe it.
I love to go out to eat while she doesn't like to spend the money.
I love to go anywhere on the weekends while she likes to stay at home.
We don't agree on politics much of the time.
We don't agree on some key points of religious faith.
But here's what we do agree on.
We agree that our relationship takes precedence over the needs of either. If it's not good for both of us, then it's not good for either of us.
We agree that our SO's needs are more important than our own.
We agree on how we sort out our differences when they arise.
We agree on how we raise our children.
We agree on how we manage a household.
We agree on how to treat each other with kindness and respect.
We agree to keep an open mind about the other's passions in life and give it a sincere try, no matter what it is.
We agree to burn up the sheets on a frequent basis.
We agree to consult the other when about to spend a sizable sum of money.
We agree to voice our grievances in a way that's not personal. We don't say, "This is what you did to me..." We instead say, "I know you didn't mean to, but this is how I feel about what you did/said..."
We agree to make each other the center of our lives.
Things like politics, etc.? Those are the little things. The big things are how we treat one another. In that sense, we are as one.
My Wife and I only seem to have one thing in common, and that is; we are both attracted to the same Women!
You may think I jest.
What do you have in common with your Partner, (Wife, Husband, Whatever)?
Okay, leaving aside my surprise at the first part of your statement:
1. Sense of humor...slightly bent.
2. Monte Python, Lord of the Rings, silly "dark age"-style fighting games.
3. Can be overly serious-minded.
4. Can be overly silly.
5. Like kids.
6. Democrats leaning toward Independent.
7. Strong work ethic.
8. Activities not every other adult likes, such as the Renaissance Faire.
9. Can be lazy but we make ourselves work rather than letting everything go to pot.
10. Need to watch what we eat.
11. Love cats.
12. Verbose.
13. Really really similar musical tastes.
14. Similar tastes in the type of house and environment we like.

too much to mention but just as important--for me anyway--is our differences. We're so much alike in so many ways but our differences compliment us, for instance, he's an extrovert, I'm an introvert. To us that means he brings me out when I need it and I help him slow down when he needs to. No one else has ever been able to make him slow down like I can. And no one else has ever been able to run me into the ground like he does and I enjoy it. No, I relish it. Look forward to it. Live for it.
As for being attracted to the same women that is certainly the case considering that we both sleep with the same other women so yeah that works out for us.
That, I can add.
I'm male!

Do you think there is any type of drawback from having TOO much in common?
