Do Language Barriers Help Marriages?

Oct15

Is there a language barrier between you and your groom-to-be?  Lucky you!

Jag Carrao just posted and interesting article over at The Huffington Post, "Surprising Advantages of Dating Someone You Can't Understand." Citing doctors, relationship counselors and even Sean Connery (who credits his 30 year marriage to often not understanding his French wife), Carrao thinks the argument has merit and even provides a half-serious list of its benefits:

  • No man-terrifying “relationship talks.”
  • Fewer heated debates about stem cell research and Oscar predictions.
  • Less ambiguity about date logistics (aware of the language barrier, he nails down date/time/place to avoid any misunderstanding).
  • Exotic charm of endearments uttered in a foreign tongue.
  • And most importantly: less conversation, more kissing.

Of course, she also details the obvious drawbacks to not understanding your spouse... but those aren't as funny!  Check out the full article here!
