Would You Go To Another Country To Marry Someone?

This sure is for @DaddyEvil to reply. I feel it is a Herculean task depending upon cultural background and basic nature, apart from social amenities and legal framework a person is accustomed to. Younger ones are better off. They can learn new currency. If there is new language that also takes time. Cultural faux pas will be aplenty leading to partner feeling embarrassed. Basic nature plays a role too. I am lazy and get house help here, at very affordable rates. For me to go and do dishes and cleaning an mopping in the US would be fine for a month or two, not sure I can leave my years of cultivated laziness at the drop of hat. Some people are adventurous so they find it easier to adjust. Then come social amenities which we all take so much for granted that we don't even notice them till they go missing. In India, we just have 2 walk about 1000 feet or so to get a grocery shop, bank, bakery, medical stores, and some transport form. In the US, folks get into cars and plan it all. Likewise, a person from US will have issues with quality of food and services in country like India apart from lifestyle. Adjusting to lazy life is easier though. But issues such as health insurances and laws can be dampeners. People also need to understand what to pay how much to pay for how much distance, and where to compromise. On the whole, it is fine when people have lived abroad, and are moving from one country to another, but those who have stayed put their entire lives would find it rather tough so I give only 5 percent chance of it succeeding in old age. What say @TheHorse? Do I sound logical?

what a big age difference! well, i cannot relate to this. the one i married is someone who lived in the same city as i lived in.

I wouldn't, but one of my neices did.

I heard a lot of stories about this, couples who just meet after a couple of years since they're living in different places and I'm so glad that they're able to survive with those distance, and they found themselves compatible in each other even they haven't been together

I live near border and many people married others from other side. But I never here for such big difference in years or that you never see other person in live before.

Well! I think it's about the choice and also about the love and trust people hold.... If they believe it, they do it....

I think it is possible to live in another country if being married to another nationality.

I've watched a few episodes, or rather parts of a few episodes. I just think that whole show is so stupid and pointless. I would not move out of country UNLESS it was with someone I already knew very well.

I lived in Asia and Europe for 15 years and I would not want to live there for ever. I like the USA.

No, I do not believe I would have done, not to marry someone I never met.

I have to wonder if the filming was not be done, would they have still come? they get paid for this right? and some tv exposure. But no, I would not go to another country, to me it is just not safe I think some of them just want to become a citizen. I know my cousin married, someone that came from Moracco, her family also says once he gets his green card, he is leaving you. While the day came and he got the card, and he announced he was married to some one there, and it didn't work out for my cousin. I just think if I can't find some one here, and really get to know them, I am not traveling the world to find love.

I quit watching tv 11 years ago, so I've never heard of that program. You realize that it's actually riskier for the woman to move to a foreign country than it is for a man to move to a foreign country, right? (Depending, of course, to which country you're planning on moving. India, in particular still see women as the property of a man. This is the reason my daughter will never go to India!) Did you realize that I've ask @vandana7, from India, to marry me? If I moved to India, I'd have to give up my daughter and the rest of my family. (Granted, very few of my family are worth my time, but my sisters, my daughter and several of my nieces ARE worth it!)

I heard of the show, but never watched it. I would never leave the USA to live in a foreign country just to get married.

They used to have mail order brides where it happened all the time. I didn't know it still existed. I don't think I could do it either.

Tough question. I really do not know.
