Long-Distance Courtship. I know a girl from another part of the world who married someone from the Caribbean. But she found island life difficult. It was always hot, and she got sick. The food was different, and she missed her family. So they tried living in her home country. But he felt, that is the husband, that the life-style there was too materialistic and he missed the closeness he used to enjoy among family and neighbours. Now they are seperated: he is living in his homeland, and she in hers. Their two children miss having the love and attention of both parents. Marrying a person who is from a long distance away, perhaps another culture, presents other challenges. Are you prepared for the added expense of travel and communication? What if children come along? Some grow up knowing little about their own relatives, unable even to talk to them on the phone because of language differences! This is not to say that such problems are insurmountable. But one should calculate the expense of entering into such a marriage.-Compare Luke 14:28.
