Despite not knowing each other, weve somehow managed to stay married for 10 years. That may not seem like a long time to some of our friends a few have been married 25 years or more but for Malathi and I, its amazing that were still together and even more amazing that we still occasionally talk to each other. 尽管对对方不了解,我们还是结为夫妇并共同生活了十年。对我的一些朋友来说,这婚龄也许不算长少部分人已经步入银婚阶段甚至更久但对玛拉丝和我来说,我们仍然在一起就够惊喜的了,更让人惊喜的是我们还会不时聊聊天。
In fact, youll be glad to know that we spoke to each other just last month. I said, Our anniversary is coming up. How do you want to celebrate it? And she said, Id like to try the new Japanese restaurant in town. Do you want me to bring something home for you? (Thats what I love about her shes so thoughtful.) 事实上,你会很高兴知道我们上个月才谈过话。我说:我们的结婚周年纪念日快到了,你想如何庆祝?然后她说:我准备试试城里那家新开的日本餐厅。你想让我给你带点什么回来吗?(我就爱她这点 她真的太贴心了。)
Actually, Malathi and I talk to each other quite a lot whenever the kids let us. The kids are 4, 6 and 8, and at any given time one of them is speaking, one of them is singing and one of them is screaming. Its hard to have a conversation when theyre around, especially since they dont like to see Mommy and Daddy getting too affectionate. We usually have to speak in code a special code that develops naturally during a marriage. Whenever Malathi wants to say I love you, she says, Are you watching that stupid football game again? And whenever I want to say I love you, I say, How many pairs of shoes do you need anyway? The kids dont realize it, but were a very romantic couple. 其实,玛拉丝和我经常交流,无论何时,只要孩子能容我们聊,我们就聊。孩子分别四岁,六岁和八岁,不论什么时候其中一个在滔滔不绝,另一个就在放声高歌,还有一个就尖声惊叫。当他们在身边的时候,要想和妻子对话难于上青天,特别是自从他们不太爱看到爸爸和妈妈表现亲密。我们通常以代码来对话一种在婚姻中自然而然发展而来的特殊代码。当玛拉丝要说我爱你的时候,她会说你是不是又在看那傻瓜橄榄球赛?而当我想说我爱你的时候,我会说你到底要买多少双鞋子啊?孩子们听不懂,但是我们是非常浪漫的一对儿。
