Deb R re: Men from Morocco

Hi Deb,

I'm married to a very good Moroccan man. We've been married for 5 years. Things are wonderful. It's a second marriage for me but a first for him. He also comes from a very religious family. My experience has been very positive though I know some postings on here that have been negative. You find good and bad people in all cultures and religions.

As for Morocco, I happen to love it there. I love the slower pace of life and how important family is. We now go back every year to visit family.

You do need to make sure that your habib is exactly what he claims to be. Ask a lot of questions, tell him you'll move there if you get married and see how he reacts. My husband would have loved for me to move to Morocco when we first married but I already had children from another marriage. We do plan on moving there in the future.

Good luck

JLA
