Capricorn Traits from a Wife's point of view

Musings from the Wife of a Capricorn on Capricorn Traits

I think it really comes down to knowing yourself and what you are looking for in a husband. I never expected to be married to a Capricorn. I don’t think I ever thought of the sum of Capricorn Traits as being husband worthy. They always seemed like solitary hermits to me and being the social creature I am I just couldn’t find that appealing. But I’ve learned a lot about Capricorn Traits and their strengths and weaknesses being married to one.

Capricorn Traits - Money

Let’s start off with the money. Marriages so often succeed or fail based on either compatibility or satisfactory negotiations on this one point alone. And this is definitely related to the strongest of Capricorn Traits so I highly recommend that here. Capricorns love money, more accurately they love the security money can buy. Well that’s a bit off too. They love the security that being debt free brings them. And a big pile of money in the bank just makes it that much better. Not that they are cheap. Capricorns love nice things, very very nice things. They want the best of the best and have the taste to recognize it when they see it. And as long as they are secure (i.e. debt free and have a pile of money in the bank and a large source of funds to keep it that way) they are more than happy to spend on the finer things in life. So if you’re a security minded Virgo or Taurus, this will work for you. You can rest assured your man is taking care of business and building that nest egg to keep you safe and secure in your retirement. If on the other hand you’re one of the more freewheeling, shopping spree types like Libra, Gemini and Leo – you may want to reconsider if your Capricorn hasn’t yet arrived where he wants to be. You’ll just end up feeling stifled and like you’ve married the cheapest bastard on the planet.

Capricorn Traits - Strong, Silent, Stready

Another of the strongest Capricorn traits is steadiness. Being an earth sign, Capricorn is very down to earth and grounded. Solid. This is great if you need a shoulder to cry on as they are much more sensitive and compassionate than their gruff first impressions may lead you to believe. Many Capricorns are born Knights in Shining Armor. They have a great appreciation for women and want to see them treated properly. They will want to come to your defense if they perceive you as being mistreated. This strength and chivalry combined with their tendency to being men of few words definitely puts them in the Strong and Silent type. At least from the outside, they appear to be…. And I feel pretty comfortable saying another strong one of the Capricorn Traits is his ability to converse at great (and I do mean Great) length on the subjects that matter to them. This is often their work as they derive so much of their self definition from their careers and success in them.

Capricorn Traits - Emotionally Detached

The other big deal when it comes to Capricorn Traits in marriage is their relationship with their emotions. The rebel/loner self perception they have makes emotional connecting a bit of a challenge. They are self sufficient and have generally had to be that way as the people in their lives (often mothers) haven’t been quite what they needed. So its hard for them to place trust in another human being, no matter how close to you they are. Emotions are dangerous things in the scheme of Capricorn traits. Emotions would lead you to spending money, being impractical and generally doing things that don’t make sense. A Capricorn is used to sacrificing his emotions when necessary to achieve his goals. This works well in bringing success in the office. Not so much in the bedroom.

So trick is, as with any other sign, know yourself. Know what’s important to you and what you are willing to sacrifice for the good of your relationship. The Capricorn Traits of drive, focus, being security minded and a bit of a loner may be a challenge for some and not others. Know yourself. Then you will know where is the best situation to give the love you have to offer. For the right woman, the Capricorn Traits make for a perfect match.
