This means that "A"(the Sun) seeks to feel good about themselves in the same way that "B" (the Descendant person) relates as a partner.
So when A is close to B, then B's interactive style boosts A's self-esteem. And B's sense of being really close is boosted just by how A expresses themselves.
Basically, when one person's Sun conjuncts the other person's Ascendant or Descendant there is an instant mutual sense or "rightness" about being with each other ... as comfortable as a show that has worn to fit your foot perfectly.
And this attraction and comfort lasts. Without a strong Asc/Desc contact, we could predict that the relationship is likely to die out within a year or two. WITH this kind of contact, such as the one you have indicated, the relationship is likely to last ... forever, if both are emotionally mature enough ... 10 to 12 or so years maximum, if one/both of them are not emotionally healthy or mature.
But since this is on;ly ONE of many synastry aspects, that doesn't mean they can make it work.
All synastry comparisons have some conflict shown, too. Just as all real relationships have some conflict once the honeymoon has worn off.
Astrology is only an influence. It doesn't control us. But if we just act on autopilot, astrology's influence on us is much stronger. We can outgrow difficult influences in our birthchart, and we can outgrow conflict shown in the synastry ... but that doesn't mean we will necessarily.
So what we get out of Sun conjunct Descendant is that this relationship has the potential to last. Whether or not it does depends on your and their emotional skills and maturity.

It's a very powerful influence which could sort of encourage or inhibit self-expression in a relationship.
