I sat back and looked at the situation.

She is stable, has two jobs, her own car, a BS degree, good relationship with her parents, is able to save money, has no vices, speaks three languages, seems like she would make a good mother, asian women don't cheat, and she is very pretty to boot.

Sounds good right? I could do worse.
Does not sound bad at all.
I can see that communications can be problematic, even if you have been together for so long.

I consider myself fluent in English, I have worked with English speaking people for more than 5 years now, some of my friends are English, I read only English books (have read more than a thousand by now) watch DVDs with english subtitles,...
And yet, sometimes there are things I don't immediately get.
Apart from the language, there are cultural differences where something -in a given context- means something else. To you it may seem obvious, to foreign people it might be confusing.

Anyway, I sincerely hope everything works out for you and your wife.
Despite the fact that we gather here to find kindred spirits to talk about razors, family is the most important thing in the world.
good luck.
