What makes Sagittarius want to get married?
September 17, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
It’s a bitch trying to hitch a wild horse, so it’s reasonable to assume that one must appeal to the upper half of the centaur if you want to marry him. The higher mind of a Sag studies the religious or philosophical foundations of marriage. The animal self wants to just gallop off to distant lands and impregnate many mares.
Therefore, a Sagittarian’s faith, his religious commitment, would be a primary motivation to tie the knot. If God says a man and a woman shall unite and make babies, then Sag will be the first one to jump onto the bandwagon. He’s not a conformist, but he’ll do what everyone else is doing if there’s an inspiring reason to do so.
Not all Sagittarians are God-fearing folk, though. This sign relates to both the legal system and foreign lands, so obtaining a green card would also make him want to exchange rings. If he’s truly in love but bristles at the idea of being constrained by a piece of paper, he’ll do it anyway to keep his beloved in his country. Or if he’s not really in love but his student Visa ran out, he’ll exchange vows just so he can stay overseas.

Dating one right now. . .hearing and reading that they’re pretty unfaithful – do you agree?
I am a Sag and I’m not unfaithful, but never say never!
I was friends with a Sag male for 8 years and during that time I found out he got married a year prior to him telling me. Of course, I was shocked to hear about his marriage seeing as he is the most promiscuous person I know. What were his reasons for marrying? Great tax benefits and his wife paid him to do it (for reasons I won’t go into).
Was married to a Sag for 13 years, and dated him three years before he became serious about marriage. He proposed while watching TV, with no romance, (yes, there was some brief cuddling and kissing) at all! In retrospect, it seems like he only wanted to get married because all his siblings, friends and cousins were getting married and having babies. But he ran the streets a lot. He was resentful having the responsibility to watch the kids when I attended school, and worked a second job to catch up after a layoff. Later, my discovery of his affair ended the marriage. It took a while for the hard feelings to past, but we do get along better now for the sake of the kids. Currently having an off and on relationship with another Sagittarius who was upset because I refused to marry or cohabitate with him. I like him for his sense of humor, but he is just blunt, too emotional, and unreliable to get really serious about again. Next Sag comes my way……I will head in the next direction.
I’ve been dating a Sagittarius for almost three years now, we’ve talked about marriage and he seems open to it “eventually”. He claims that he only wants to marry once and he’s just about to hit 30 years old. Who knows if it’ll ever happen but I think the major thing pushing him toward it is because his family and friends kind of push it on him. Feels like its his duty to eventually settle down.
Q: What makes men chase women they have no intention of marrying?
A: The same urge that makes dogs chase cars they have no intention of driving.
this one is hilarious,love this comment!!!
i’m a 76 year old Sag, and i swear to satan that i’ve never heard of this word you call “marriage”–is that some sort of disease?
I have been dating a Sag for six months now, and is the partner I have always dreamt about and longed for. There was some fear of commitment in the beginning, that was very trying for me. So I gave him plenty of space and let him come to me. It’s important that he knows he has choices and space in the relationship. So far, it’s been awesome because we have a lot of trust in each other, and he does hint at marriage in our future (he is in his 30’s) even though it scares him a little. But I’ve been through a lot and as a result, I know myself well and got into the relationship knowing what I wanted but not being too needy. He is a very romantic, thoughtful partner and brings out the best in me, and when he needs his space to explore his world, I just get busy with my own friends and projects. It’s a good balance.
It’s important to know more about your partner’s signs than just the sun sign, and other things shape a person’s personality. Above all you must have trust, communication, and your own self-esteem to make any relationship work.
I’m a sag (moon and sun) and have3 been told i’m a nightmare to date. It’s that, what do you call it . . .commitment thing. I’ll be honest i want to get married but only once. So i’m terrified of making a mistake, which makes us overly picky and commitmentphobes.
Sag is idealistic.
Being one, I don’t think we’re unfaithful. Personally, I’ve always broken it off before sowing seeds in other pastures… Then again I’m Catholic so I need no more guilt! Seriously, though, we might have a wandering eye but if we really love you we’ll only look. Based on myself, if we don’t we’ll set you free to find the right person!
i have a sag moon and im a scorpio. I think sag’s are afraid of commitment but I think it has more to do with whether they feel fulfilled or not in their relationship. Not to blame the other partner. It takes two to tango. But I think they just realize when it’s over before anyone has agreed to end it or made any recognition of this internal instinct and they act out on they’re impulses. Theyre very instinctual and impulsive. It seems like they always have an internal knowing yet on the outside they come off as so naive and unaffected. Maybe there is something double sided to the sag almost like the gemini is composed of 2 twins, the sag has their high minded part and animal part like jeffrey said. I like that. It makes sense. It’s not that they are like an animal that can’t control it’s urges completley, but they do have that side to their nature. I think they’re special because they truly understand people in a broad and universal way. They also see the whole word in a very multi dimensional and deep way. Maybe they choose to let it go every once in a while just to not have to carry all the weight on their shoulders. But with their lightness there is also an incredible heaviness. Like a philosopher or deep thinkers heaviness, they are capable of carrying the whole world with them and are very in tune to the world in that sense. So what makes them want to get married?
whatever makes anyone get married. There is the social norms or restrictions of what people expect of you, there’s also the other side of finding something real, something honest, and a place from which one can grow. So theyre not just conforming to their animal nature but can grow through/with another person. I think sag’s are the embodiment of spirit if they can connect with their spirit through another person they just might stick around.
yeah we are. But, in my own case maturity and real love can keep unfaithfulness at bay. I also tend to surround myself with good friends whom I know would not approve to keep an eye on me (even though they don’t know that thats what they are doing)
Im an exciting cancer..who is currently talking to a sag. and previously dated a sag…I love the adventure and the excitment of being with a sag…never a dull moment …if i want to go skydiving, travel, or long drives they are down for a trip..
I know they have a wandering eye but when they fall in love its for the long run..im afraid of commitment, though there is a catch ideally i love the idea of getting married and having a family but Im not ready..at 32 going on 33 im just starting to have fun and Sag is the right person to have fun with..as for committing i dont know my current sag is 34 no kids married once but has mention to me that he wants to settle down and he does say wonderful to me …though i respect his space and and i can sense it when he wants space…odd..now my old sag friend ugh…he is full of surprises but he did teach me to tone it down a notch…i realized i was to intense for him…but nonetheless he loves me and has been in love with me for 15 yrs..though i love him as a friend only…lol..they are great people, the catch to a sag is “have fun…enjoy the time together and travel”
as a fellow cancer im not faithful, when younger i was 100% faithfull..im not as needy..dont mess with me cause ill drop u in a heart beat..but we are understanding, loving, and intuitive people…one last thing sag do love cancer but get frustrated with us…from exp…since they want us so bad and we are not sure..lol..timing was off before but maybe now its different..
make the best of what is infront of u and enjoy life…
peace and love…
ps the comment before state maturity and real love can keep unfaithfulness at bay…true i think honesty and communication always as well…
I’m a Sag female and I was recently married and divorced from a Leo man. I felt too confined and although I never cheated – I really, really had to work at it not to do so. He was the only one I never cheated on and quite frankly I think the only reason I didn’t was because it seems to be socially unacceptable behavior and I had people “watching” as one other Sag mentioned before.
I agree with the statement that Sag’s can fall in love very quickly and passionately, but they can and will fall out of love even quicker if they become bored, confined, or interested in someone new. Sometimes this is the curse of the Sag.
AND to the older Sag that has never heard of this thing called “marriage” Yes, actually I think it is some sort of disease! LOL
I’m a Sagittarius… and I’ll admit it, I’ve cheated on two Tars [too damn controlling!]… However… as soon as i started dating my Aquarius I instantly became smitten, and I have stayed faithful ever since… even with temptation… and the idea of marriage does not sound so bad [i just know that i am not ready for it anytime soon!]
i’m a sag with venus in capricorn. i dated a sag once with venus in aquarius…bad, bad, bad…i LOVED that guy, thought he hung the sun, moon and stars. we were always on a search for high adventure, taking off on road trips and leaving the world behind. i think that is what i found so appealing. anyways he loved me but was not in love with me, broke my heart. it took a L – O – N – G time to get over him.
to all the ladies dating sadges: good luck! check his venus, if it’s in aquarius run like hell. capricorn and scorpio are good, though the scorpio venuses can be a little dangerous (think jim morrison).
ultimately in the end, i think us sadges want someone who will share our love of philosophical discussion and be a fantastic travel-mate. i know that’s what i’m looking for.
My uncle is a Sagittarius and he’s been faithful to his wife for eighteen or so years. But he did get married later in life and they dated for a long time before that.
I am currently in the beginning stages of a romance with a Sag but he is also Italian so I have no trust that he will be faithful to me at this time. But as a Leo woman, the chemistry is hot, hot, HOT! So I am satisfied to just have a playmate at the moment. But the hotness level did drop a bit when he said he liked me mainly for my mind (this was after sending some racy pics.) I definitely did not feel as sexy after that and will not be inspired to send more pics for a while.
his timing was bad (after receiving your racy pics) but of course it’s important for a Sag to be attracted to your mind, as this is a philosophically-oriented sign that can spend hours discussing heady topics. What is this about Italians not being faithful???
Sorry, Jeff, I’ll clarify. I do not think that one culture is necessarily more prone to unfaithfulness than another, just that it’s been my experience young Italian men are playboys. Not that they are unfaithful, but that they choose not to be committed to any one woman in the first place, until they find that one girl they can’t live without. And that is fair enough. I think in America we are more often taught the idea that you date one person at a time, which is perhaps not to our credit, especially in our younger years. You can wind up wasting a lot of time that way.
What I don’t trust is whether he will want to be with only me. I myself am a one-guy-at-a-time kind of girl. Could be the Leo in me. But I understand if other people aren’t that way right off the bat.
I dated a sag right when I was starting college. I am a libra…he didn’t give our relationship enough attention. Although really neither did I; anyhow I would have loved to spend more time with him actually doing things. Its funny how this article says they need much stimulation regarding in depth conversation…I need that too didn’t get it! oh well. I will always be hesitant with sag. (of course that’s natural for me)
Not all Sag's are unfaithful. I am as Sag as they come except I don't like sleeping around/being unfaithful. The only two things I find hard to give up is my sense of freedom to do my own thing when I need to roam free…& cussing.
Marriage is the ultimate fear of Sadge. The idea of
tied down and then they slowly find themselves wanting to run away.
I’m a female sadge, moon in libra, venus in saggitarius. Scary combination. But, if I meet/have met someone who is attractive to me, intelligent, and has a zest for living I’m sure I could hold my interest for a while. Plus, secretly I do want to settle. Just not for most anyone. Someone very very dear and willing.
Hi, I’m a Leo lady. I’ve dated three sags in the past. These guys were all very gentlemanly, thoughtful and attentive. Their standards all seemed pretty high, evident from the places we went and the comments they made. I never opened a door or pulled out a seat, but this is generally how I conduct all of my relationships.
I am quite a strong personality, quietly spoken and pleasant,but completely independent in my life and in my thinking.
All three these guys proposed to me, and I refused all three because they were not right for me.
If you want a sag to marry you, don’t look at him as a sag. He is a guy, trying to become a part of your life. He should be trying to fit into your life, not the other way around. Never bend over backwards to accomodate him.
What sagittarians look for most in a woman is maturity. It shakes them up because that is what, at whatever age, they are not. It highlights to them an imperfection in themselves, yet perfection in a woman is the very thing they are looking for.
Now you’ve got him thinking, all you have to do is be yourself. Enhance and embrace what nature has given you. Never compromise your inner self and what you believe is right for you.
He will admire your qualities and recognise that you’ve made him want to be a better man, without him even realising it.
If you disarm him like that, it’s only a matter of time before he’ll be down on bended knee.
The key is, don’t date him as though you are dating a Sag. Date him like you would any other man, gracefully and elegantly.
turned out sun/ venus in Sag/sag is no better than sag/ aqu.
OMG LibraF we need to talk!
I’m a Sag and I’m not one to be unfaithful BUT I will be completely faithful and loyal if he’s “the one”…the one I truly love and am meant to be with…Girls love the idea of marriage and ever since we were little, we always imagine what are weddings would be like but the older i’m getting, the more marriage is scaring me and the only way I would ever really do it is if I felt it was the right time with the right man under God’s blessing.
LOOKING FOR ADVICE!
I am a Virgo female with LEO Rising as well as LEO in Mars and Venus, and have a Sagittarius male I need some advice on. We became mates through a gym and now we meet at the beach and take our dogs for a walk every week, he is early 30’s with a partner and a young baby and stuck in a place he doenst want to really be….i am 24, happy, attractive and outgoing, with no committments on that scale.
Clearly not happy in his relationship, I feel he is extremely interested in “fulfilling” his other desires in me ie. sexual ones, which he has started to communicate to me on our walks. How do Sagittarius males deal with these issues of cheating in their HEAD? DO they ignore their conscience, or do they justify their actions??
It defintely is true with the trait of the Sag knowing instinctively when things are over and done with, yet outwardly portraying the opposite to appear normal and still in control….as someone mentioned earlier, similar to the GEMINI, the Sagittarius has a practical, structured side, and then the free-spirited, non-conforming side as well.
But how do they go home and live two lives so to speak? Do they feel they can manage secrets well, as long as they get what they want from both worlds? Can any Sagittarius males relate to this and HELP me out? I am attracted to my friend but on the OTHER HAND, have a strong conscience and would rather remain friends with him than venture into the world of sex, lies and deceit…this will only ruin our friendship ultimately, no?
Do we have that potential for more with our Signs will it work or all fall apart??
I have been dating a sag for, almost two years, and he actually came around quickly on telling me he loves me infact i would refuse to tell him it back until i was sure i loved him, and he still always continued to tell me he loved me. Then he aske me to marry him with a 1 K ring. i declined the first time and asked him to return the ring. Then he asked me to marry him again only this time we were on our way to pick up my mother and he asked me why i was afraid of marrying him, and while i was talking and talking he took my hand and held it, and in the dark slid the ring on my finger! i was still tlaking until i realized what he did this time i accepted. I do however worry of him chaeting, as i’ve been cheated on before, but he is so honest and upfront i find it hard to see him betraying me.. but i never had a problem having him commit.
…
As a commitment phobic Sag, I’d say don’t even try. Sags will come around when they’re ready, not a second before. Anyone who’s pushed me for more in the past has been quick to see the back of me.
One day, I want to be with someone. The right someone who will be worth it. I’ve never cheated and have never wanted to. It’s more the issue of making the commitment to someone who will live up to my expectations of a partner.
I know, tough stuff. But I’m willing to wait.
I’ve been dating a Sag man for 15 months. He was faithfully married for 20 years before his divorce and even his ex wife says he never cheated. I do not think, nor have any reason to believe he has cheated on me. If I had to worry about that with a partner, I’d find another one… or be alone!!
There is a commitment issue however. Or rather, a commitment to marriage that he resists. Like another women commented earlier, I just get busy with my life, enjoy what we do share, and if, down the road, I want marriage or anything else that he isn’t suited to do… again, I will choose to find another companion who wants the same.
First off this is great all these comments and insights…LOVe it! I am Sagitarius w/ a cancer moon, libra rising and venus in Capricorn…and among other stuff in my chart. I’ve been in a relationship for threes years with the same man who allows me plenty of space and I mean plenty. In other words we are in an open relationship. I know this may be strange however it works terribly well and as odd as it sounds I’m completely 100% loyal emotionally, I actually am that way with all my mates and with that in mind they all know I’m this way. I do have my primary. It is an intersting subject in itself, once upon a time i tried the committment thing and the manogamy and suffered terriable I doubt this wild stallion will ever be tamed, but I’m up for the challenge always. If any thing folks a sag needs interesting and constant newness, and a sag needs challenge. Good luck to all those dating a sag and have fun with it!!! >; )
I am a taurus woman, and have been married 3 times (all my hubbies have been sagittarius, including the current one).
wow! Sags are a hand full. I do agree with the sag men as cheaters. I am a sag full sag all around. We don’t like to be pressured. One thing about a sag we can’t really hide our feelings. Most of us wear it on our sleeves. We are out spoken as well We can be very faithful at least the women can to an extent. If you don’t give us a reason to look else where we won’t. Complete freedom we have to have. We will adore our mate for that. We will come back home. Remember horses can get distracted easily at times but we are always grounded. Our arrows are always on point.
I am currently dating a sag. I have known him for a lil over 2 yrs and we have dated since march 2007. as a leo …if i see something i want i usually state claim quick and that gotten me in trouble in the past with bad relationships. so this time i decided to wait it out and my sag man came to me in mar 07 and said your my girl. since then we have dated. then it took him a while to say he loves me and that took me for a shock. but he said it in exactly one year from when we started dating. (not sure if he knows he did that. lol)i have no kids right now and soon to be 34 i am getting that itch to have one but only in wedlock. i want my first tattoo for my bday and my sag man wants me to put it on my pelvis with his initials. (he said because that is where his baby will come from) well i have no ideal how to take that. i am willing to do that for him but ….. how do i know we are going to be long term. he is in the military so therefore we dont spend much time together and it is hard to read him. so….to tattoo or not to tattoo? his initials are easy to change to words…just an fyi.
Hey Leo Girl do what your gut tells you. Initals are not that bad i have initials of a now ex but we got eachothers intials. I don’t regret it because something like that as a sag, i thought long and hard about it like jumping double dutch know what i mean. You are 34 do you and live life. My ex was a fire sign too.
I’m a sag and the way I see it… I don’t want to go down in the books to ever say I’ve cheated before. =)
i’m a sadge female with venus n asc in sadge n moon in virgo.I fall in luv easily & so passionately that i wouldn’t mind going bankrupt.But even when i’m serious about someone,my eyes start wandering & it gets difficult 2 hold on.Currently i’m in a LDR with a virgo boy & really want it to be a success.I myself am sick of playing around & want to settle down but its tough to understand why i can’t be faithful.I’m not scared of him leaving me but dat i will get bored of him.When i find a new boy 2 victimize,i free d previous one & all of them hate me.sadges only seem to be lucky..in reality they’re cursed
OMG, this is so true!! I am smitten for a Sag guy, who I met a music festival in Canada (I’m American.) He is Australian and was needing to get his work visa to stay in the states. I asked him why he didn’t just find himself a wife, and he promptly asks if I want to be it!! I swear it would be easier to marry him for citizenship purposes than it is to make him my bf! I’m ready to run off to Vegas with this boy! We’ll see what happens!
They want kids. Once a Sagitarian guy decides its time to have kids then he cant wait to find someone and get married. They seem to thrive on the family thing once they grow up. All the Sag guys I know are grown up now and thats what theyre doing now, the familly thing
They may need the occassional bungy cording weekend with their buddies but they generaly pick things for the kids to enjoy 
When they get old though, Oh boy… The wild kid comes back and the hospital is full of old Sag guys,,,,
Dating one myself, I can only say he can be very faithful if he wants to. Marriage is indeed an issue as he hates legal procedures and the fact that his commitment needs to be proved by a piece of paper.
You know its funny, Ive read that Sagitarius men and Libra Women are compatible, yet Ive never met a Libra/Sag couple….. Strange, If we are so so compatible then you’d think there’d be a lot of Sag/Libra couples… Alos, what do Sag guys think of Libra girls? Any male Sag out there that would care to comment? Keep in mind Sag girls, Libra men are a dif species then Libra girls….. I dont think a Libra guy could handle a Sag girl
