I am American, and my husband is from one of the former Soviet Republic countries. We've been married for almost 10 years and going strong! I am also a language teacher (with a degree in language acquisition). I totally relate to your language experiences. The couple must either speak the language or pay for an outside teacher/tutor/classes. In our case, we didn't speak English together, and we tried to change over, then tried for me to teach him--totally pointless. Spouses can't teach each other language any easier than they can teach a high school or college class on their language. There are far too many other issues that need attention in marriage.
