What You're Like In Your Marriage, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
Are you marriage material?
getty It's all fun and games until someone... gets married. We go through our lives, happily moving along, on our own, getting used to our own ways, being who we are. Then, we partner off and begin the process of living with another person, sharing life with another. This is the real test.
Marriage is a test, but can we pass it? Most marriage advice will have you asking yourself questions to see if you are cut out for holy matrimony. Can we live with another person and not kill them? Can they live with us without ending our lives?
How we react within a marriage can be attributed to our zodiac sign, determined by astrology. What are you like in your marriage?
The irony is that some of us are meant to be married, and some of us aren't, though that has never stopped the sociological push to be married. While most of us do get married, it's just what we've been taught to do. Married, kids, car, house... yada yada.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
You are a fiercely devoted partner and will fight to the death for the person you love. While you may be argumentative, you are also kind. Your partner respects you, and you allow yourself to learn the lessons before you so that your marriage lasts.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
You are a dedicated partner who works hard to keep the marriage happy and healthy, though you may sink into depression now and then. You still haven't learned that you need to reach out to let your partner know what you need. Remember open and honest communication and you'll do fine.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Not meant for marriage, but a hopeless romantic nonetheless, Gemini is less prone for happiness within a marriage and more prone to a life of non-committal relationships. When you do marry, you are dedicated but bored, and your partner does pick up on it.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Nobody does it better than you when it comes to marriage, Cancer. You're the best at keeping the peace at home and your partner worships the ground you walk on. Advice: Concentrate on yourself as well as on your partner. Self-care is needed!
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
You love being married, and you also love flirting with people outside the marriage, which works if your partner is okay with it. Unfortunately, you usually pick a partner who is jealous or insecure, and that leads to your marital troubles.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
You are a very loyal and true mate, but you need a partner who is emotionally stronger than you are simply because you're going to be giving them nonstop s***. You're a bully with your spouse, you take out all your frustrations on them, and yet your marriage remains tight.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
You really don't like the idea of romance, and things like commitment or loyalty are not things you can relate to. You get married and sign on for inevitable divorce. You try, at first, but marriage is not a situation you can flourish in. It doesn't stop you from trying, but in the end, it's not something you want.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
You can be a dream come true for the right person, and when you find that person, marriage is ideal. You like commitment, but you're jealous and you project a lot of your insecurities on to your partner, which weakens the marriage. You can be mean and you aren't conscious of how negative you can be.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
You have a fantasy of living like a normal person, so you get married... like a normal person. But Sagittarians are not normal people, and as much as they try, marriage is probably the one place where absolute nothing works. You give it the ol' college try, but within time, you find yourself bored and distracted, with feelings of regret.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
You make a great married partner and you like to do it all by the books. You may get a little stuck on stereotypes, as in "I'm the husband, you're the wife, we act like this because we should." But in truth, you're an incredible provider. You never let the family down.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
You are dedicated to your spouse... until the kids come. Your partner has all your affections... until you get pregnant. Then, it all changes. You tend to favor the kids over the partner, and that's when the bridge starts to collapse beneath your feet. Your spouse feels much rejection being married to you.
PISCES (February 19 - March 10)
Born to be married, you love every moment the sense of security marriage brings. You tend to worry a little too much, but you overcompensate by being kind and maybe even too giving. You let yourself be taken advantage of by your partner. Advice: Speak up, and don't let things go too far if you have a marital issue on your mind.
