Myth confirmed. T-couples are more common than they would be by chance.
So now I know that this is true, I seek an explanation.

No, you don't! You don't have a random sample of the population!
(I know you know this, and I know you're not being entirely serious. I'm just messing with you.)
Seriously, though, I would not have expected anything else. There are lots of linguist couples, and medical doctor couples, and historian couples... you share a passion for something, and you speak the same language, and you can discuss work in a completely different way than you would be able to otherwise. Of course it's more likely you'd fall in love with someone like that -- even apart from the fact that you are simply more likely to meet up with other people with your education/job.
