I'm glad you're able to laugh and move past the hurdles in marriage and life. I've been married for, now, six months, and it's challenging even though we're both from the same state and country. I'm the oldest of a very restricting, controlled family whereas my husband's the youngest of a very free, open family. It's been challenging at times, and even though we both speak English, I'm used to be concise with my words, whereas he's not. It's tough, but it's betting better. I hope that eventually we'll be able to do what you can now and laugh at our stumbles and embrace our differences without any issues.
