Foreword
I have been asked by many people why a Chinese Metaphysicist would write a practical, common sense guide to choosing the perfect partner, rather than a book on, say, Feng Shui or Destiny Analysis.
My answer to this is that through my own practice of Chinese astrology I realised that the basis of the relationship compatibility analysis I carry out is essentially to assess the core personalities of the couple. This determines if they have the basic compatible elements to make a marriage work. It is a case of: Will this personality type get along with that personality type?
The better matched a couple is from the very beginning, the less amount of effort is required to make it work. The greater the differences in the personalities of the partners means the greater the challenges they face in understanding each other. Of course, this will make it more difficult for the marriage to work over the long term. So, being able to identify these major personality differences early means that I am able to discourage the marriage, or at the very least warn the couple of potential issues that may arise in the future and what they need to do to make it work.
In researching this book, I looked around and found that most mainstream relationship books focus on everything but how to choose the right partner. However, choosing the right partner in the first place is by far the most important consideration to ensure longevity in marriage. When you get this basic factor right, then all the minor concerns and problems that arise from time to time in your relationship will be insignificant, as you will both be more inclined to work together to resolve them.
It seems the only books that support marriage or appear concerned about choosing the right partner when considering marriage are written by Christian Conservatives.
I think it’s sad that they seem to be the only ones who still recognise the true value of marriage. It seems that everyone else has lost faith in the institution of marriage and all the wonderful things a successful one creates. Happy marriages provide benefit not only for the couple and their immediate and extended families, but also to the wider community.
I wrote this book — from the heart, not the pulpit — to inspire ordinary people about the wonderful benefits and happiness a successful marriage brings.
You do not have to be religious to value marriage, and I suspect most people want a happy marriage but have no idea how to achieve it. When you look at devoted couples like Bill and Melinda Gates, Paul and (the late) Linda McCartney, you probably think they just happened to be lucky. However we can all have a marriage like they do ... if we choose, and marry, the right partner.
I hope you come away from reading this book knowing for yourself who your compatible partner might be — and with more focus on making sure you get it right from the beginning.
There’s a lot to be said for living life to the fullest ... with the right partner!

I believe that the greatest expression of a life-long commitment to someone is in marriage. Based on extensive interviews with married and de facto couples, this book will specifically focus on finding a life partner for the purpose of marriage.
Introduction
We all want to fall in love, be loved and live happily ever after. The fairy tale expression of love and commitment to someone is through marriage. But while marriage can bring incredible happiness, it also carries a risk of failure. So, we simply must choose wisely!
While our current divorce statistics reflect our bad choices, why do so many of us make such poor decisions about something that has such a profound impact on our lives? This is because our multi-media society conditions us to make decisions based on feelings and desires, and to trust our own instincts at the particular moment in time. What are our instincts
? They are usually heavily influenced by our feelings of infatuation, passion, and romance during this early stage.
How much is that doggie in the window? ...
Picture this well-known scene: you walk by a pet shop, then something catches your eye ... it’s a cute little puppy looking at you excitedly wagging its tail! You spend time there playing with it through the glass and the puppy responds enthusiastically. Without further thought as to whether that breed is right for you or if you are ready for a dog, you decide right there and then to buy the puppy. You just think of how cute it looks, it likes you, you like it and that’s all that matters then.
However after keeping it for a while you realise that you actually didn’t think through all the work that is required to keep a dog. You also realise that, as this new pup is an active breed, it needs far more exercise and discipline than you have the time to give it. As it grows into an adult the novelty and cuteness wear off, so it holds even less appeal. You want to be out with your friends like you were before, instead of having to spend what time you had left after work walking it.
You begin to resent it and wonder why you bought it in the first place. It is no longer the cute little playful puppy you saw in the window that you signed up for. Finally as it becomes too much for you to handle, especially as it developed behavioural problems through your neglect, you decide to give it up and drive it to the animal shelter to end your association once and for all.
Now picture this other well-known scenario: you happen to meet and start chatting to someone at a party. You find the other person attractive, and it seems they also feel the same way. They return your smiles and share your laughter. You flirt, you date, and can’t keep your hands off each other. It feels great and, in the height of passion and thoughts of love, you decide to marry and spend your lives together.
After you marry however things seem to change. You realise that your lifestyle means that you don’t have as much time to spend with each other as you thought. The novelty of marriage and the passion also wear off, and then irritating things about each other that you didn’t seem to notice before start to appear which cause you both to bicker and clash.
You then didn’t realise how much of your life you had to change in order to spend time with each other. You want to be out with your friends like you were before instead of having to come home and be with your partner whom you don’t really get along with or enjoy being with anymore. They seem to have changed since the big wedding day, they’re no longer the sexy dynamic person you used to have lots of fun with.
Then differences you didn’t see before have now surfaced, both of you wanting different things, quarrelling over everything, with little to agree on. Finally you make the decision to end your deteriorating relationship by getting a divorce.
Choose carefully
You can see how these two scenarios are essentially the same, both romantic ideas driven by feelings rather than reason, and both with deep consequences. Choosing a pet based on feelings alone is evidenced by the multitude of dogs in animal shelters. People buy puppies without really thinking about the responsibility and commitment involved.
In the same way, society seems to encourage people to pick their partners, driven by the media placing emphasis on passion, infatuation and romantic love. Similar to the way they choose their pets, people also tend to base their decision on who to marry on how they feel about the other person at first blush, without really giving deeper thought as to whether that person is suitable for them personality-wise, whether they fit their lifestyle, and whether they actually are ready to marry at all.
The results are the same and very telling. Just as animal shelters are swollen by unwanted dogs purchased by all those people who get a pet based on their feelings alone is, so the massively high divorce rates are evidence of the number of people marrying someone driven only by their feelings! The outcomes of a bad choice are even worse and the impact clearly so much greater than that of getting an unsuitable pet, as the consequences of an unsuitable marriage partner will adversely affect your life, lifestyle, finances, emotional wellbeing and any children you may have.
If you thought carefully about what sort of dog is suitable for you first, then go for it! As your new canine friend bonds well
