I'd like to hear people's opinions on marrying someone from a different country. Do you think it's advisable, or would the adjustment of leaving your whole life behind and moving to a place where you don't know anyone, sometimes don't even know the language be a discouraging factor. And to the males out there, would any of you move from your homes, or should it be only the women who moves?
I wouldn't want to move to another country, I think it's a bit unfair to one spouse. If it's a case of one spouse living in one country and the other having to move there, then I see that as a bit selfish (personally). But if both spouses decide to move to a completely different country, then it'd be a bit more fair cause they'd both have to adjust.
Depends really, a bloke that forces/demands that the sheila move to another country, well that really reflects on his character. If it mutually agreed, because of economic reasons, that would be fine, i guess.
If there wasn't any economic reasons to choose one country over the other, i'd expect the bloke to move.

I've been doing that my whole life practically, so I wouldn't mind it.
In fact, I'd welcome it. New places, new people, new experiences..
I think the two people should weigh everything over and come to a mutual agreement, on where would be best for their future, taking into account all different aspects.
I think for everyone its different. some people can leave their country and live anywhere but sure there are people too who cant leave all their live to start a new one.
for me personaly its ok. my fiance is from a different country and after marriage i will move to live in his country insha allah. but one day maybe we will go to live in my country for a while cause he wana get to know my country too.
for me its not that hard to leave my country cause even if i wouldnt knew him i was planing to move to live in an islamic country for some time. but sure it will be hard to leave my family and friends and everything.
we were talking about this much before and we didnt decide that i will go to live in his country cause he thinks that the girl have to move. just cause of practical reasons. he have a good job there and he dont know my language so its better to stay in his country for the first years and then we will see what will happen. maybe stay there or go to my country....who knows?
