Scorpio - What type of spouse are you?

THE SCORPIO HUSBAND: OCTOBER 24 / NOVEMBER 22.

The Scorpio man makes one of the most difficult husbands to live with in peace and harmony. The only way that this can be accomplished is for the wife of a Scorpio man to be receptive to his every thought and follow his instructions with complete obedience. He is the typical “OLD FASHIONED LORD OF THE MANOR” and is just as tyrannical and overbearing in his home as he in every other walk of life.

Many astrological warnings have been given against marriage for the Scorpio man with afflictions in his seventh house of marriage. He is considered too extreme in his reactions to the love life. But the temperament is such that no matter how forewarned these men will marry and tragedy is too often the result.

For the less extreme types there are more chances of happiness. The Scorpio man himself is often very successful and well able to support a wife and the large family he so desires. But his intensely personal passions and the highly possessive attitude of his devotion is a strain or the most devoted family.

In fact no matter how much love and attention he receives his nature is secretive and suspicious and he will always suspect deceptive conditions working against him. These conditions are wholly imaginative but he persists in inflaming himself with jealousy and dark inward resentments.

The depths of his affection for the wife and children are genuine indeed but he can’t seem to learn to be more pliable. Such selfish love is bound to cheat itself as the unhappy Scorpio man makes his stubborn way through life.

Sexual excesses are often a part of this sign character. The desires are gross and unnatural and demand satisfaction. As is the case with the women of the sign Scorpio men have a strong moral side to the character they suffer deeply for their indulgences and make inward promises of temperance after the appetites have been satisfied.

THE SCORPIO WIFE: OCTOBER 24 / NOVEMBER 22.

The Scorpio woman is a very primitive type and her deepest feminine instincts are aroused by the different functions of being a wife. She takes marriage very seriously and has an old-fashioned reverent attitude toward domestic responsibilities as long as she is in love with her husband. Should this condition change she follows without thought of consequences the dictates of her heart.

The best Scorpio wives are loyal and courageous needing no hot-house atmosphere to keep their love in bloom. They enjoy responsibility and a large family is a delight to them. These women are very capable but once they are settled in domestic life they put all of the management and energy of their passionate natures in to the home. They have the gift of home-making and frequently organize a much better home than Cancer women or the Taurus women who are famous for their instinct in home-making. The Scorpio woman loves luxury and has considerable taste in house furnishings and arrangement of the home.

The difference in the atmosphere of her surroundings lies in the intensity of her feelings. She is a blunt fearless character doing everything passionately from the depths of her being. Her devotion to her husband is whole-souled but she does not idolize those she loves. Her reactions to life are intensely realistic and she sees her man exactly as he is. Since she is neither shy diffident or tactful she expresses herself with the greatest force. Her sexual appetite is large and she requires vigorous satisfaction. The Scorpio person man or woman is inclined to excess and while the moral sense rebels against the animal appetites satisfaction usually comes first and repentance afterwards. It takes a very virile man with a deep sympathy for sexual indulgence to satisfy the Scorpio wife.
