Right? I was like uh… why we talking about women being wives like it’s a surprise they could accomplish something like the Olympics while still being married… OH WAIT YOU MEAN THEYRE MARRIED TO EACHOTHER AND COULD HAVE TO COMPETE AGAINST EACHOTHER. That’s way different.
I was thinking similarly. It might not sound exactly right, but I think wife and wife would work, like that of husband and wife, if you wanted to keep the format the same using two identifiers instead of the grouping. I think that’s on the level.
Very happy for them, both in that they are able to be legally married and for their amazing Olympic achievements. I wish them nothing but a wonderful future.
Some people’s relationships themselves are all about competition and it’s what keeps the relationship going. I’ve known couples like that. They can be fun, but exhausting.
