POV: You Marry a German Woman

POV: You marry a German woman — and your entire life gets reorganized. What it's really like having a German wife, from cultural differences to life in Germany. What started with "I'll pick you up at exactly 14:37" turned into years of recycling you didn't know existed, brutally honest feedback you weren't ready for, Abendbrot that replaced every dinner you've ever known, and a mother-in-law whose Kuchen could make you forgive anything. She never said "I love you" first. She showed up with a labeled folder for your tax returns. This is what nobody tells you about marrying a woman who runs her heart like a German train — almost always on time, and when it's late, everyone notices.
