Yes, very true! This kind of marriage has had much higher percent of divorces basically due to several key points including the communication and culture differences.

Although as low like you said it works well but rather so few in the numbers. So your research must have done well and most approxiate there is. I wasn't that surprised of that though.

I'm married with my deaf wife for 11 years by the way. We are doing well together. I have seen my several friends who were married with hearies and ended up with uglier divorces except few still are married in my world, too.
