Default Marriage and Moving

Assalamu Alaikum,

I know lots of people move when they get married...

But what is the furthest you're willing to move? If you're only used to the east coast, would you be willing to move to say Montana or Kansas?

Or what if your spouse wanted to move to some village in India or Africa for relief after marriage or join docs without borders or something like that?

Would you move across country, across state...across the world?

This is all considering that this is someone you'd marry in a heart beat and of course the std tests were all negative...

what an intresting question something Ive been thinking alot about lately.

The majority of my family lives on the east coast and specifically NY...so the furtherest I'd move is 5-7 hours away. I'm aganist moving so far away that i couldnt drive to see my family in a day, Im aganist it, because when a girl gets married and specifically when she has kids...she needs her family, she needs her support system. So thats not something that i'd be willing to give up.

Well, it's a woman's right to be able to visit them at least once a week...so it depends on how much he has to cough up...you could get a flight from A to B, however far it may be

I'm going to be constrained by work opportunities, but my aim is to end up within a couple of hours drive of my parents - so California is pretty much it. Ideally, I'd live in the same neighborhood.

I do plan to travel after I'm all trained up, but on a temporary basis, no more than one month at a time. And I'm going to bring my kids along to show them the real world. So the currently imaginary Mr. Bruinrab better be ok with that. Or else.

Default Re: Marriage and Moving

im barely 21 and have moved like 8 times in my life.. and ive begun to hate moving but id do it a couple more times..i mean, cant escape it and gotta be realistic..im still relatively young

i have a lot of friends who gotmarried and moved across the US and it is hard..tho most of them have never moved around as much as i have so i think its harder on them..

it would tough if both you and your guy were new in like a random town all of a sudden...because if you just moved to somewhere he's been for a while you could make connections easily

overseas moves scare the crap out of me. like even if its austrailia or britain or something..its not a third world country fear or anything. it's just that i like being familiar with a certain system and most of my moves have been within the north american 'system'..so i dont have trouble getting around..it's very easy to adapt to the basics of a new american city.

but my worst fear in the whole entire world is like moving to a RANDOM place where i dont know a single soul, and i dont care if its a muslim country..and like, my spouse would be out working and i might aswell be stranded on an island..and what especially freaks me out is if i wouldnt be able to speak the dominant language in that region...man. i know most people know english but still.

in the end LOVE CONQUERS ALL! (except STDs)

I lived in Sri Lanka for 10 years. Then I moved to the US. Moving isn't much of an issue for me

i don't plan on living in this country, and don't plan on settling anywhere for too long until i'm a lot older. Don't know about a partner, i suppose he can come along if he wants
