Yudhisthira was a deep thinker to the extent that at times Bhima would get irritated by this quality of deep thinking.
Bhima was action oriented and would think from a quick present action point of view.
Yudhisthira would think from the point of view of future consequences.
Both qualities had its pluses and minuses..
If we look only at the future no present how will we be survive even to see the future?
If we look only at the present not at the future how will we enjoy the fruits of our hard labor?
In one sense both the pandavas had some short coming but other party would supply the quality which was in shortage whenever required and they continued to live together cooperatively.
Once Bhima was stuck in the coils of Nahusha Naga, who was a great king but had turned into a huge python by the curse of Rishi Gautam.
Nahusha would gulp every one who came in touch with him and unfortunately once mighty Bhima came in his coil.
Bhima with all his might could not release himself from the jaws of the mighty python but Yudhisthira maharaja by his controlled emotions saved him from near death . Yudhisthir maharaj then inquired from Nahusha and answered all the questions of the python and satisfied him.
On other hand when Yudhisthira maharaja had to punish Jayadratha who had tried to kidnap Draupadi, it was Bhima who took swift action against Jayadratha.
This is the beauty of the Pandava brothers, rather than exploiting each other’s weaknesses they were using each ones strength to overcome the other 's weakness. ..
They were shortening their shortcomings-----
Dharma of Yudhisthira needed the power of Bhima and Bhima s power needed Dharma to release power at the right place and at the right time.
Do we have Dharma in the first place and is our power is controlled by Dharma?
