Just because you’ve chatted and Skyped with a beautiful Asian woman on an online dating site doesn’t mean that you have a true insight on your bond with each other. Yes, you’re attracted to the woman you’re talking to and you’re having the time of your life just spending time with her online. You may have even visited her in her country a couple of times. This doesn’t mean, however, that you should be quick to think about the next stage in your relationship – marriage.

Marriage is not a bad thing at all . Just don’t be hasty about. Well, not until you consider these 6 things before marrying an Asian woman:

1. Location Arrangements

This is the first thing to consider. How will this play out? Will you live in her country? Will she move to your country? Keep in mind that there are several documents involved in these kinds of processes and the range of time to finish all of these could take a year depending on what the steps are.

2. Family Matters

Family is very big for an Asian woman. Marrying an Asian woman also means marrying her family. They are going to be in her life (or maybe we can say, in both of your lives) for as long as it takes. This is definitely a fact and you can bet on so you need to think if you can handle her family being around all the time (or at the very least, be involved in your lives somehow).

3. Financial Stability

Since you are planning to take a wife, you need to see if your income can support the both of you. You’ll need a decent amount of money for the wedding and you sure will need some more for when you’re living together. This also poses the question of where you’re going to work. Will you work in her country? If so, will your wage support your life together. This one definitely needs serious consideration.

4. Cultural Adjustments

Cultural adjustments will have to be made especially when you’re living together. You have to ask yourself how flexible each of you is, how well you can cope with how the other does things on a daily basis, how well you can lengthen your patience to a concept that you may not grasp 100%. Now it’s getting serious, isn’t it.

5. Maturity Level

This is needed in any relationship.

This is especially needed when a couple is married. There will be a lot of “surprises” to uncover (a couple usually uncovers a lot of things as soon as they get married) so the level of your maturity needs to be high. It’s true what they say about thinking that you know a person until you marry him or her.

6. Red Flags

Last but not the least…you’ve heard all of the horror stories out there of girls merely using foreigners as a means of getting out of the country. Don’t disregard the horror stories – that’s our best advice. Aside from considering the above 5, you also need to consider if she, indeed, is true to her intentions for you.

In order for you to know this, you can seek the help of fellow foreigners who have gone through the online dating route and went ahead an married a nice Thai girl. You’ll find them in several online dating forums.

Don’t Rush into it

Like what we said earlier, don’t make any hasty decisions. Consider these 6 things first before going through with marrying an Asian woman. She might also be considering the same things about you so doing so will give you oeace of mind.
