My wife is an immigrant; she speaks five languages fluently. Unfortunately, one of those languages is English, which is why we sometimes argue.
We met way back in 1999 when we were still college kids in our early 20s. Clearly, we’ve gotta be at least somewhat compatible, since we’re still happily married. She’s the love of my life (according to her).
