It depends on your feelings for each other but also your life plans. For example, a lot of college students who want to get married wait until they graduate and find a job. Or someone who's working on starting a business may want to reach a certain goal before getting married, because then he can focus on the marriage and not only work.

I don't think that international marriages are more difficult. I just think most people are not very flexible, and have trouble adapting to new situations. But I personally think it would be EASIER than a regular marriage. Why? Because it's more interesting, stimulating and motivating (for me). Some people just want COMFORT, and for them an international marriage must be pretty hard.

But most people dating gaijin are pretty adaptable already.
