For husband and wife Ted and Ashleigh Slater, the 1987 film The Princess Bride is frequently playing in their home. For them, one of the most memorable characters is Inigo Montoya. His patience and persistence as he hunts for the six-fingered man remind them that it takes time to execute a “death wish.” But what does a “death wish” have to do with marriage?
