International marriage: is it more problematic than usual one?

Daniel Eduardo Heredia Carrillo

In this globalized world, people are more interested in meeting people from other
country and be in contact with them. They are always taking the opportunities to go
abroad and being part in intercultural exchanges, scholarships, internships or just
talk with a foreign to practice their second language. It doesnt matter if the reason
is studies or job, but its probably a chance to fall in love and maybe marrying
someone from a different country. But has international marriage more problems
than if someone get marry with someone from his own country?
On the first hand, there are many points to take on account when a person wants
to marry a foreign. There can be legal obstacles even in the beginning of the
relationship, like get the permanent visa and translate the official documents to
register the weeding. Also, they have to make important decisions as who would
take the name of their partner, where they are going to live and the religion under
the children would grow up. Other possible disadvantages are that it implies that
one of the couple must live abroad, perhaps all his life, learning a new language,
facing cultural differences, traditions and the distance to the extended family that
can make harder to carry this type of marriage
On the other hand, marrying with somebody is always a big decision; there are
many challenges to afford living with someone else. In general, if you ask to your
friends about it, they would say that habits are so different that try to integrate a
couple into a functional marriage, so that it works property and smoothly seems to
be the principal issue. Actually, to share the properties, distribute the
responsibilities and understand the personalities never are easy. For that reason,
when a typical marriage has to afford it, the differences could be so big that it can
need full of patience and good disposition and no only love.
After all, the transnational marriage is a risk that the couple is decided to assume
for love. Living far from his parents and relatives can make him or her feel
homesick despite theyre at home. But in conclusion, the couple may open their
minds to new places, a culture and a lifestyle. There are lots of advantages,
because this is a permanent situation that asks for the best of them. Then, how
availed are the two people is the main factor to get success on the aim of being
together.
