It is difficult but the stories are not all impossible. (Just mainly). I think Thomas Hardy mentions Year and a Day marriages somewhere. Nowadays it might be known as serial monogamy. A person putting their hand through a perforated stone explains partly why so many of the these stones have been broken (as un Godly) and also may explain the ritual of a male asking for someone's hand in marriage. The concept of two sun sign Aries in the same space is rather daunting. Statistically it is adjacent sun signs that appear together, in the rolls, oftenest. According to myth!
