At ambassadorial gatherings and galas, at dinners and negotiations, in interviews and conversations, I am always asked the same question.
Why did you marry her?
This question is always followed with some form of the statement 'You are Vulcan, she is human,' as if I did not already know that the woman I have been married to for over thirty years is a human. Was a human.
Everyone always asks the same question and I always give the same response. Why did you marry her? Because it was logical.
Logical? They always ask. Vulcans do not lie, and I am no exception, I say.
Very few are ever brave enough to ask what kind of logic inspires a marriage between two beings so different. The few brave enough have never received an answer.
Yes, it was a logical decision. After all, it is only logical to marry the woman that you love.
I married her because it was logical.
I married her because I loved her.
