They may or may not overcome his expectations for a WIFE, but she ordered that up on the menu, and had to experience what that was like in  reality.   I sense that she had a romantic, nostaligic attachment to her perception of her parents' marriage before losing her father.

Also, for Vaughn, I think his perception of man/woman roles in a marriage is arrested from the time his father died.  As we mature into adulthood, and have our own relationships we come to understand much more about our parents' marriages than was revealed or observable before adulthood.  He seems like a kid froze in time -- marriage being about doing "nice things" etc.  He is super-immature, arrested in that regard to me.  I'm surprised it didn't come out in his pre-casting profiling more.

It's sad to admit, but you're probably right. And the other sad thing is that until the 1800's astrology and Astronomy were part of the same science. It was religious control that split the 2 apart.  There is an old Bible that exists in my family from an ancestor back in the mid 1700's. Inside it is a star chart for her that was created on the day she was born, by her father. It was believed back then, that where the stars and planets were on the day you were born did have an impact on what direction your path through life might take.

Greg Epstein is a Humanist Chaplain who supposedly has an open mind. So I'd think he'd want to use all possible ways to match couples.
