No I did not end up marrying him in the longrun. Our relationship lasted 5 years, we had a great connection but I was not willing to give up my lifestyle and go live in Saudi Arabia where women are viewed as second class citizens. Maybe for you it will workout.

Just remember that you will have kids one day and the question of religion will come up. You need to clarify all things before getting married. Talk about EVERYTHING...I did not marry my first love, but married the love of my life. I have been married for a year and two months to a mexican guy and we have two beautiful 3 month old twin babies. Everything happens for a reason. I wish you the best.
