Capricorns tend to marry late, when they are established in their careers and have sufficient money to start a family. They pick partners who will make good parents or, even, someone who is a parent figure. Their choice of partner will always be based on sound practical reasoning, with physical attributes low down on their list of priorities.

Marriage tends to be high on the agenda of Capricorn woman. It is one of her goals in life – and she always achieves her goals. She is attractive, with a clear, sensitive skin, dresses well, if a trifle conventionally, and tends to look far younger than her age. She does not enjoy being teased and is liable to sink into a deep, black depression if she feels inadequate or unappreciated, or thinks that she is being mocked.

Capricorn man’s mating technique is more dogged than romantic. He pursues the object of his desire with dedication and determination. He is kind, solid and, frequently, reserved. He expects his partner to behave in a responsible and respectable manner and to share his devotion to his own family. He is, quite probably, attached to hers.

Capricorns find it difficult to express their emotions or, sometimes, even to identify them. Because they maintain their youthful good looks well into old age and often live longer than any of their Zodiac counterparts, successful partnerships tend to run and run. Like a good wine, Capricorns improve with age, frequently becoming better-looking, more relaxed and more loving.
