It's a coincidence in the respect that I never really looked into it before I married him. If I ever got married again I might be more inclined to check out the astrology. But Anek, Venus Square Mars tends not to be cautious in matters of the heart. Traditionally Venus in Aries is meant to carry some of the same flavour. Here is an interesting one,

If you look at Venus Opposite Ascendant is says inclined to marry for love. I don't know if that bears out to experience but it does in my case. You may think, big deal, that's what people do in England. But personally, I look back on people I grew up with and I see the majority have made uncontroversial matches with someone of a similar age and social status that they clearly like and can get along with ~ just like working-class people have done for centuries. Evidence doesn't bear out much blinding passion for someone unsuitable that they insist on marrying anyway.
It's wider than some Lindalanders would count but your Venus is Conjunct Jupiter. That's a fun-loving rather hedonistic mix. Venus in Aries has that about it anyway. Although your Venus is in a traditionally weak sign it isn't making any tense major aspects. It is happy in the 7th house. It is sextile Chiron, which sounds nice. Its strong angles, I think is of pertinence to how you relate to other people as much as it says anything about your marriage prospects. Take this for example:
Venus square Midheaven
This is a positive aspect, indicating that you are a very loving and warm person. You should have little difficulty in getting along with people, because being on good terms with others is very important to you. Just make sure that in seeking love and approval, you don't give up an important part of yourself. Above all, be honest and don't try to use flattery and charm to make people like you. Your friends won't respect you if they think you do everything just to get people, especially elders, to like you. The only challenge of this aspect is that you must learn to set your own standards and follow your own goals, and not simply be and do what others want.

As for what kind of wife I think you may end up with, I think the Moon is important in this, maybe other Lindalanders will disagree. Here yours is strong in its own sign of Cancer, it is Trine the Sun in Pisces, which is a sensitive and caring combination. It does make some stressful aspects to a Capricorn Stellium in the 3rd house. Mars being one of them it does tie in with Venus in Aries, as Mars rules this sign. I think you would be attracted to a woman who is strong-minded and independent. Maybe someone who is quite modern and uncoventional. I am influenced by the presence of Uranus in saying this, Saturn is also there, that is a more conventional force but it is also quite a masculine planet, traditionally ruling business affairs which has been a strongly male domain until recent times and some would argue it is still male-dominated.
I'm not deeply familiar with Juno but it gets mentioned a lot on Lindaland in connection with marriage. Yours is at 11* Aries 59'. The verbal sparring mentioned in the definition below is interesting at you have Mars in the 3rd house (opposing the Moon). I don't think a passive wife who agrees with whatever you say is really for you.

Juno in Aries.
While Juno is in Aries, you want a partner you can fight with, someone so willing to participate in the relationship, they can also go a round and slug it out. Juno in Aries is a time both partners in a relationship may need to be more active and independent, and if only one of the team has this privilege, the relationship can become a source of constant conflicts and irritating arguments. It may be that fighting is helping you to avoid the real issues, and that real life relationships require courage in action.
