Month of Birth and Partner Choice in Marriage

[swetha]

My only wish is that we knew the actual dates involved here since of course the beginning and ends of months are in different signs. However, we can still use this research to help us make evaluations in synastry - always bearing in mind that there are a lot more factors involved that just the Sun sign.

Females generally show a preference to marry men born two months later in the year than they were themselves. This preference is particularly strong for women born in January, February, March and April.
(ed: a sextile?)
Males generally prefer women born within two months (earlier OR later) than their own birth month, and generally show less of a preference for women born four to six months distant.
Males born in the second half of January tend to show a preference for females born in the second half of October (twice as many marriages as expected by chance).
(ed: Aquarius trine Libra?)
.Males and females born in April and the first half of May tend to show preference not to marry each other (half as many marriages as expected by chance).
(ed: Aries/Taurus may prefer not to mix it up. Aries is the me person and Taurus may too much like to get his own way).
Males born in the period from the latter half of June to the first half of July tend to marry females born in the period from the latter half of July to the first half of August (twice as many marriages as expected by chance).
.Males born in March who married females born in July have an eight times greater divorce rate than would be expected by chance.
.(ed: perhaps the Aries group squaring Cancer)
Higher divorce rates than expected by chance also existed for marriages where the males  were born in February and females born in May, and for males born in July and females born in February, and for males born in October and females born in June.
Males born in the second half of November divorced twice as often as males born at any other time of the year (regardless of the date of birth of the female !).
.(ed: Sagittarians do love their freedom to roam)
Here are the general preferences found by Kop and Heuts:

because it doesn't match not for me and not for my partner

[swetha]

i wonder how they come up with such conclusions??

[Myst]

I dont know they come up with such things LOL...random surveys? But more so, stereotypes for sure....

[swetha]

i agree Myst...something new for people to use their idle minds for:))

[Mystcmoon]

Hmmm, strange.....very few of the couples I know match this ruling...

[brittdun]

Wow that fits me!!! Well it could... I was born in May and my boyfriend was born in December!!! I hope to marry him!!! NEAT!

[Omjit_23]

I guess everything in astrology is so random and generalised.

[lfrett]

I was born in January and married a man that was born in September of the same year.

Interesting, our sun signs show that we are extremely compatible (which we are), yet  the article shows that he wouldn't have wanted to marry me.  It seems to contradict the sun sign characteristcs.
