1962 water tiger married for 44 happy years to a 1956 fire monky

We are very compatible. Never had a fight. We talk things out together. Fiercely Faithful in our relationship. Completely committed to each other. Why do all the zodiacs and horoscope say we would be bad together and we wouldn't be able to have a lasting relationship. Why are we {happily} different then expected.
