hi erica..

sounds like you have a jewel of a man in your life. he wants to support you and take care of you.

in his culture the women are not allowed be alone or talk to men after marriage, unless it is a relative.

back in the day women were weaker than men, or so it seemed. just remember their culture is not as advanced as ours. the men are the head of the household there.

my fiance asked me to move to morocco just last night. it is something i am considering. the life will be so hard for me. the way they do the laundry is the pitts. and all the walking is treacherous , but at least i will stay in shape. not to mention the bathroom situation..........but i love this man and am willing to do what it takes to be with him.

love conquers all and i prefer to live a life of hardship then a life of ease if he is not with me.

hope you make a good decission. you have to ask yourself , can you live better with him or without him!!

take care and i will pray for you both.
