I would like to discuss how people in generally feel about getting married or having a relationship with a person living in a different country? Would you take the risk to live somewhere else if you find someone who is good for you? As members in MM are you looking for people living in the same country or you include in your searches people living abroad? Did you have any such experience? Did you meet any special person outside your home country, and how was it?
in my case traveling or moving was never an issue, whether if it was for job of love,for job I ve moved to one country,for love left the job and moved to another.it doesnt matter that we splitted but if you want something ou just need to go for it and try your best.
I have friends who have moved for love without any problems, on the other hand I have ones that would never leave their origin country,so,its all individual in the end.
Personally I have my preferences,but in the end if your openminded you can never know where life will take you.
I don't think I would like to leave the country. I've known people with strong marriages that have moved to another country and the marriage breaks apart. The change of culture is an added stress that some can't surpass. Marrying a person outside of ones culture takes some navigating and negotiating in order to meet on common grounds. Not everyone has the ability to do so.
Hi Author, accoding to me i woud move the person i love no meter where she is i dont mind its just that never experience it but i travel a lot,, and i woud love to do it.
I am an Indien, met my husband whilst working in Dubai. I had no problems at all coming and settling in Austria. It was difficult in the begning, but if you love someone, you close your eyes and heart to all these difficulties. I had to learn the language, learn to cook Austrian food, and learn their culture here. After 26 years of marriage, it was not a happy marriage as his parents are racist, so you can imagine my plight... My marriage is on the rocks.
Do you really think you were discriminated because of the rasism ? I am white who were married white american I met in England where I lived for many years and his mother and sister in law still didn't like me before they even met me because I was from Former Soviet Union. I think it has to do sometimes with the jelousy.
Well, I don´t see any problem in it. I was married to one man with foreign origin. it is easy decide to move. It was difficult with language and not having friends.
But if two people loves each other one of them must move.

I have an Asian friend who married a Caucasian guy. They are now married 6 years, have a kid and are living in the US. She was from the Philippines. Of course there are some crashes with cultures and whatnot, but they always find a compromise which makes their marriage a healthy one. :)
No one can predict what might come up in a intercontinental marriage. Some would say it's a good idea to have a multi-culture family. It's a bless to have such a great family combination. While, others might say it will end up in disaster, since both sides would find a balance which is so hard, since two cultures can only compromise, but can't really merge.
i dont think is a problem, but marriage is not good idea, specially not good idea to start a relation thinking to make other person marry, that today mean hypocrisy generally talking for get interests..

Yes, I met someone in my country and came to US and ended-up I divorced. I've never imagined that I will be live in US alone. Did I miss Japan? Yes, some what. Especially the FOODS!
Pros:
Learned English and different cultures.
Get to see the different world and meet with peoples from different countries.
Cons:
I am so used to the life in US, and not able to go back.
There were so many differences in between me and him.
He learned Japanese but never spoke it within the family. Instead, he spoke Japanese to the waitresses at restaurants.
Do I want to relocate to another country? Not now, at least next four years a so.
I met my husband while on vacation in Italy. He's Italian, I'm from the USA. Six months after meeting we were married and I moved to Italy to be with him. We've been married for almost 8 years now. I was fortunate he was able to speak English since at the time I did not speak Italian.
I do not regret at all moving to Italy to be with my husband. It has been a true learning experience, from the obvious of having to learn Italian to learning the Italian way of life, traditions etc. If I could go back in time and do it all over again, I would in a heart beat because I feel life is a continuing education "class".
Yes it was hard, languge barrier, you have to learn about everything from the scruch. Good thing you learning partner and people with your feelings, you should trust your intuition, it sais truth. Be nice and yourself.
