[Spleech]

I felt compelled to post about something that, at some point in everyone's life (whether in favor of it or against it), has gone through every person's mind: marriage. I'm really curious about those people that have decided to get married to someone of a nationality much different than their own.

I'm absolutely loving my time here in Korea. I'm a young, single guy that came to Korea with reasons other than marriage. To say that I'm not attracted to Korean women would be a lie. There are many things about them that I think are wonderful (as well as things that I think are not). But, I'm not making this post to talk about that.

To those who've married Koreans (or any nationality really different than their own), I just want to know what people's experiences have been being married to a person of a different nationality than their own. That's my reason for this post. I'm not currently in relationship right now nor do I plan to be in the near future. But, just things like, when you got married, how was your spouse's English? Was that a burden at all in the relationship? Where are you living right now (your country or your spouse's)? How have you dealt with the cultural differences? Most importantly, are you happy? Obviously, I know everyone's experiences are different due to various circumstances. But, I'm curious to know about both the bad and good. Dont feel like you have to answer all the questions. I wrote what I did to help give you ideas of what to write about.

One last comment, I'm not asking people to tell me whether or not I should or should not marry a Korean. I'm simply trying to get an idea of what to expect should I enter into a relationship with someone with a much different upbringing than my own. With the contingency of my marrying a Korean lingering in the air due to my attraction to them, I just want to get an idea of what to expect. That's all, folks. Thank ya kindly.
