Marriage and Your Month of Birth
Your Month of Birth Reveals
Whom You Will (or Should!) Marry

Did you know that your marriage and your month of birth are intertwined?

That's anyway what two different and independent research results suggest.

In a first study, Marlis Moritz (March 2003) analyzed 2,549,000 birth data of women and men who were married in Germany between 1995 and 2000.

She found that marriages more often occur between people who are born around the same period or in the same month.

Indeed, according to her findings, people generally marry someone whose month of birth is within four months of the own month of birth.

Interestingly, this is also what 2 other researchers, Gunter Sachs and Didier Castille, have found. 

Moreover, women seem to prefer men who are born just BEFORE their birth date.

Men seem to prefer women who are born just AFTER their birth date.

Her findings also confirm yet another study dating back from 1974 by two Dutch behavioral scientists, the late Drs. P.P.A.M. Kop and Dr. B.A. Heuts at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Both Dutch scientists found some remarkable (statistically) significant results.

In their studies of animals they found that not every male will form a pair with any female or vice versa.

It occurred to these scientists to study whether any such preferences could be found among human beings as well.

Accordingly, they analyzed nearly 3,500 marriages in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and found some statistically significant results, depending on the month of birth.

The odd thing is that both studies confirm each other's findings!
