Here is what I believe one has to do to have a successful marriage & make it work well if you bring one back to the USA.
1. The obvious both people stable & in real love with no drug or alcohol addictions.
2. The Latina needs to be from a good back ground & not a PUTA!!!!
3. You need some extra money to float this boat right. You can not economically cage a human being like an animal & expect it to work well.
4. They are making a huge transition not like you. They are giving up family, Friends & the culture many love. To normalize this you have to do this to get over the hump & keep them happy. That is bring her mother up to stay at least 1 or 2 months a year & she will need to return there at least this much time so it is not such a knee jerk reaction for them. Eventually they wean away from this & learn to love you & where you are living but you have to have several years of the above to make it smoother for them.
5. You have to be a good boy & never get caught with another woman!!
6. If there is a big noticeable age difference be prepared how to deal with this. You can not fight it learn to embrace it.
Really re-read what Dwayne posted & do some long range projecting & thinking he is really on tract with his ideas!
PS as far as what others think who cares since they don't pay your bills but if it affects you a lot in a small community be prepared for the fallout!
Also always use your test drive wisely (fiancé visa).
