According to some traditions, the right hand is read for women, and the left hand is read for men. [2] X Research source In other traditions, both hands are read: the left hand represents the potential you were born with, and the right hand represents what you have done with that potential.

Some palmists do not believe the number of marriage lines matters. [6] X Research source Many palmists choose to read only the longest line if there are multiple lines present. [7] X Research source
If one line is slightly shorter than the other, you may have a failed affair before a successful relationship. [9] X Research source Some palmists interpret two equal marriage lines as an indication you will experience great passion in your romantic life—but your passion will be torturous.

Just as priorities are always shifting, the lines of the palms are always changing. If you cannot find your marriage line and you would like to, try reading your palms again in a few years—things may have changed.
If your marriage line runs into your sunline, this may indicate that you will not only be blessed with a happy marriage; you will also achieve professional success. Your sunline is the vertical line that originates from the Mount of Moon (located at the base of the palm, opposite to your thumb) and extends upward to the Mount of Sun (the little pad at the base of your ring finger).

You may remain single forever, devoting your life to other pursuits. By not devoting energy to your romantic relationships, you will have lots of time for other things. Or you may marry late in life, after you have found the right partner. It will be well worth the wait. A short marriage line may also indicate that you will enjoy a series of short-lived relationships rather than a long-term commitment. [15] X Research source
However, a marriage line that curves sharply upwards is a sign you will be dissatisfied in your marriage. A sharp upward turn could be a sign that your partner is dishonest, and that your relationship will be emotionally unfulfilling in the long-term. [17] X Research source Keep in mind that palm lines change over time, and while a sharp curve may indicate possible unhappiness, your palms may give you a new narrative in a few years.
This line may also indicate personality conflict in your relationship. You may experience a divorce or a separation. [19] X Research source
A fork at the start of your marriage line may also indicate that you and your partner will separate at some point, but will reconcile eventually. [21] X Research source
If you see breakages in your palm, don’t take them as a sign that your marriage will fail: take them as a warning that your relationship will take extra energy in order to work, but it will be worth it.
“After your marriage” could mean that you and your partner separate or divorce, or that your partner dies. An island in your marriage could signify not only incompatibility with your partner, but with their family as well. [24] X Research source Another indicator of potential marital trouble is an X-sign. If you see an X-sign in your marriage line, this could mean you will experience difficulty in love. [25] X Research source
If you are single and spot a grille in your marriage line, it could indicate you will have difficulty finding a partner.
Overlapping lines do not mean this future is set in stone; rather, it is a reminder to be aware of the potential for unhappiness in your marriage, so that you are prepared to meet trials when they come.
