In the horoscope pairing, many people will be concerned about one question: Are Taurus and Cancer suitable for marriage or not?
According to astrological analysis, the marriage index of Taurus and Cancer is as high as 90 points (out of 100), which indicates that they are a very potential pair in relationship. This article explains in detail why this pair is considered “perfect for each other” and what problems they may encounter when they get together.
Taurus and Cancer Basic Personality Traits
Let’s first take a look at the personalities of these two signs:
1. Taurus (Earth sign)
Taurus is a very practical and steady person. They do things in a planned way and don’t like to change their lives too quickly. Taurus people usually:
- Don’t like to take risks and prefer stability;
- Are very focused on safety and material security;
- They are not prone to mood swings, but once they get angry, it’s not easy to let go;
- They are slow to warm to their feelings, but once committed, they are very serious.
2. Cancer (Water sign)
Cancer is a sensitive and empathetic sign. They value family and long to be loved and understood. Cancer traits include:
- Very emotional and sensitive to outside influences;
- Loyal to family and partner;
- Loves to take care of others and looks forward to being taken care of;
- Easily upset or angered by small things.
In terms of personality, Taurus is more rational and Cancer is more emotional. One is like “earth” and the other is like “water”, but they actually complement each other very well.

Why are Taurus and Cancer good for marriage?
1. They both value family life
Both Taurus and Cancer value family. They are willing to pay for their families and like to create a cozy family atmosphere together.
For example:
- Taurus will work hard to earn money to provide a stable financial base for the family;
- Cancer will take care of the family and make everyone feel warm.
This complementarity makes it easy for them to build a happy little family.
2. Similar values, same goal
Both of you want to live a stable and grounded life. Taurus wants to feel secure and Cancer wants to belong, and these two needs happen to fulfill each other.
They don’t break up easily or change partners often, but they are willing to make sacrifices and changes for each other and for the future.
3. Emotionally stable and comfortable
Taurus and Cancer relationships generally don’t have too many ups and downs. Although the passion may not be the strongest, their relationship feels reassuring.
For example:
- Taurus will not be hot and cold;
- Cancer doesn’t get too loud and boisterous;
- The two of you will feel very happy going for a walk, cooking dinner or watching a movie together.
This kind of relationship is easier to end.
Problems that may arise between them
Even though Taurus and Cancer are perfect for each other, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have any problems. The following are some of the things that many Taurus and Cancer couples encounter.
1. Taurus Too Stubborn, Cancer Too Sensitive
Taurus is sometimes not very good at expressing their feelings, and they are especially adamant about doing things their own way, which makes the emotionally rich Cancer think, “Don’t you care about me?
On the other hand, if Taurus is often sad and angry about the smallest thing, it will also make Taurus think, “Why are you unhappy again?
This difference in communication will affect the relationship over time if not addressed.
2. Different ways of resolving conflict
Taurus likes to solve problems with logic, they will think: “This is no big deal, calm down and let’s talk about it”.
But the Cancer cares more about emotions, they need comfort and understanding, not reasoning.
So when there is a conflict, Taurus may feel that Cancer is too emotional, while Cancer will feel that Taurus is too cold.
3. Taurus is slow to act, but Cancer can’t afford to wait.
Taurus often takes a long time to make decisions, and they like to think over and over again to make sure everything is right.
But the Cancer sometimes needs an immediate response, especially when it comes to relationships. If the Taurus keeps “thinking about it”, the Crab may feel left out.
How can I make this relationship last longer?
If you are a Taurus, or if you are a Cancer, here are some things you can do to make your relationship last longer.
1. Learn to communicate better
Taurus should learn to express their feelings more often, not always buried in the heart; Cancer should also try to understand the rhythm of Taurus, not too anxious.
For example:
- Taurus can say, “It’s not that I don’t want to be with you, I’m just a little tired today.
- Cancer can say, “I know you’re busy, but I just want to hear you say something.
This kind of communication will make each other feel safer.
2. Accept each other’s differences
Taurus doesn’t have to be as emotional as Cancer, and Cancer doesn’t have to be as rational as Taurus. The key is to respect each other’s personalities and find a balance.
For example:
- Taurus can give a small gift during the holidays to express his feelings;
- The Cancer can also try to support the Taurus’s decisions instead of opposing them.
3. Plan for the future together
Taurus likes to plan and Cancer likes to belong. You can discuss the future together, such as buying a house, having children, traveling, and so on.
This will not only strengthen the relationship, but also let each other see the hope of the future.
V. Summary: Are Taurus and Cancer really suitable for marriage?
The answer is: Very suitable, but need to work.
They are like a team:
- Taurus is responsible for building the foundation and making the house more solid;
- Cancer is responsible for decorating to make the home warmer.
As long as both parties are willing to understand, tolerate and communicate with each other, they can be a happy couple.
VI. Conclusion
Love is never determined by horoscopes, but understanding each other’s personalities can help us get along better.
