This reminds me of my girlfriend's tale of her Chinese friend who married an Middle Eastern man. They communicate primarily through emojis, as they're not proficient enough with their shared language, English, to communicate.

I wouldn't take this as a counterpoint to the headline, as they don't seem to communicate very effectively.

I wonder what's the thought process whereby you marry someone you can't communicate effectively with!
She had apparently dated a Chinese man for 10 years and wanted to change it up rather drastically by dating a foreigner.

I...don't know if there was a thought process involved.
