In Gerald Ford's chart the Sun is in Cancer; in Betty Ford's chart the Sun is in Aries. Between them the charts make 21 close angles, 5 of them between personal planets, which give a sky match of 66 out of 100.
Gerald Ford and Betty Ford married in 1948, and the marriage lasted until Gerald Ford's death in 2006. Betty Ford died in 2011.
The sky match counts the close angles between two charts, gives most weight to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, and adds a little for a shared Sun, Moon or rising sign. Where StarMap has no verified birth time the chart is cast for midday and the Moon's angles are not counted, so the figure is approximate. It says nothing about whether a relationship lasts.
Where their personal planets meet
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars move quickly, so these angles belong to Gerald and Betty and to few other pairs. Angles to the Moon are left out where there is no birth time.

Relationship data from Wikidata, stated as Wikidata records it. Birth dates and places from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, from Astro-Databank with their Rodden rating. Positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. The readings describe what an angle is traditionally taken to mean and are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the two people’s private lives.
