Happily married to an Egyptian man

I am american and i am married to an egyptian man. He has lived and worked in the usa for 6 years. We married this year and are expecting our first child. He is very kind to me and treats me like a queen. When i have had complications with my health he drops everything to comfort me and be by my side. I told him i missed my family, he bought plane tickets for us to visit. I know many women who have had bad luck with meeting men in their countries.

My advice is this: if you want to marry a man of a different culture make sure he has lived in usa or europe, these men are more likely to be able to seperate culture from religion.
