Navigating a Geek Marriage?

JoeLinux writes "I am soon to marry my true love (a girl! yes! they do exist!). She is a literary geek, whereas I am a gaming/Linux geek. Being the RTFM-style geeks that we are, we have been reading up on marriage, making things work, etc. Unfortunately, all of the references seem to be based around an alpha-male jock and a submissive cheerleader-style wife. A lot of the references to incompatibility in the books don't apply to us (neglect due to interest in sports, etc.). What are some of the pitfalls and successes learned in the course of a more geek-oriented marriage?"

This is, without a doubt, the worst story I have seen on Slashdot in the many years I have been reading.

An even better answer. "I'm thinking about what my life would've been like had I married the other woman. Damn, am I glad I married you."
