It also helps if you have a clear understanding of what is going on and why, and language is useful in that regard, but then guessing might be more fun for some.
I agree with you, but your understanding may be fallible at times.  Well, it is in my case (hers too). Posted Image

"The teachings of the Buddha are skillful means; they are not absolute truth. ....... The Buddha said 'My teachings are a finger pointing to the moon.  Do not get caught in thinking that the finger is the moon.  It is because of the finger that you can see the moon." (Thich Nhat Hanh, No Death, No Fear, 2002)

Having said that, most most problems eventually come down to communication and cultural misunderstandings.

I agree with that ...
Just one of the many reasons it is advantageous to speak Thai, no matter how good the wife’s English is.

I think there'll still be cultural and linguistic misunderstandings, even if you speak Thai well.
But that's not so bad, if you're both aware of it.
It means that in difficult moments you can give her (and she you) the benefit of the doubt.  That can be a real help in defusing the tension.

Great thread, Smokie.
Good to see so many happy fellas in TV land.
My wife is Lao.  She's not always lovely, but when she smiles, all is forgiven.
I think she feels the same.  We laugh a lot.
40 years together last month.
