How do you keep a relationship fresh? Marry a foreigner! How would I know? Guess! You see, there’s a certain beauty to the fact that neither one of us has a clue to what the other is saying. Yes, we both speak English. But, as I’ve have found to my amazement, ‘English’ means many different things in different countries. How could this possibly be a good thing? Over the past 8 years, every conversation we’ve had is completely new. The words may have been the same as a hundred times before, but the meaning always changes. I don’t know if it makes for a good relationship, but it should qualify us to be good republicans.
