Irrelevant grammatical nitpick: I think the word you're looking for is "jibe", not "jive". From M-W: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jibe

    verb: to be in accord

Weird, I've always heard "jive" informally used as "to be in accord", and it seems like it's commonly held slang: http://americanenglishdoctor.com/wordpress/jive-and-jibe
