The time frame when the met the lady (time frame) til when the said to themselves - this is the one.

It should actually be a very small amount of time,
(of course depending on how much time it took you to go back over, that will be a wild card variable.)

I'm not looking for a count down on how long it took the INS and the paperwork shuffle.

We knew we would marry each other while corresponding, everything was just perfect, we just had to see each other live, he came and proposed in 3 days...

But it wasn't one of those correspondences where you just say I love you What did you do today Whether is fine here....
On top of all serious talks Lance gave me 50 main questions or topics that are very important to see whether we are compatible for true life lasting marriage and i was very glad to answer those in detail. If somebody is interested in the list of 50 please email me.

Welcome to see lots of pictures of us in my website section Some words about myself.

Nice pictures. Your son is adorable...

A quick question... did your sister also marry an American? Did you both find your husbands the same way?

Bill,
This is a different question all together.  We both "knew" from the moment we met face to face.

Difficult to answer.  Hindsight isn't always 50/50.  From first meeting until I first thought my wife had REAL potential, about 9 months.  When I think about it and write it out like that, it seems kinda fast.  It sure seemed to take a lot longer when I was living through it all.  

Cheers...

These ladies do make a big sacrifice and it is human nature to see our own risks with greater ease than those of others. I think that sometimes men are guilty of this putting too much weight on the economic advantages that not uncommonly comes with such a move, allowing it to erase in ones head the significance of their sacrifices

I have tried to get this idea across as well.  Sure, some of the guys get taken by a scammer, but that is nothing compared to the risk these ladies are taking.

I can tell my wife sometimes misses her family a lot.  It took a lot for her to leave her parents, brother, aunt, cousins, etc., give up her profession, and take a chance on me.

On the other hand....Irina and I were lounging the other day and she asked for something.  I told her if I did that she would get spoiled.  Her reply...."it's too late.  You already spoiled me".

Echo my thoughts. That "spoiling" worked both ways here.
