What He Needs in a Relationship

A Sagittarius man thrives with a partner who is equally independent, confident, and open-minded. He needs intellectual stimulation, physical adventure, and absolute honesty. The relationship must feel like an expanding horizon, not a closed room. Trust and mutual respect for freedom are the bedrock of his long-term love.
