    Thats sweet of you AubreyJ to take him around to experience alittle, but not to much to overwhelm him.

    I also agree with you that patience and understanding is key!

    I wish you and Awal the best on this new journey! I hope he starts to feel better and the sickness will go away...... i'm sure it will once his body gets use to the food & water here.

    Your very right, idocare!

    I agree that it takes two people to make a marriage work and if both are not working at it.....downhill it goes. It's a union, a oneness and bond between two people that takes alot of work. And for those of us that have our spouses in another country, it's overtime work, double duty!

    I somehow still think that the most challenging part will come once all the fresh excitement is over from the immigration process and homecoming is done.

    We are just so ready to be together like a normal husband and wife should be, this distance is a bad boy! Once my husband gets to come home, we know there will be things along the way that will require more understanding, more patience, more working on, and we are very focused and ready.

    Thanks to everyone who has come forth to say yes it's tough at times, yes it's alot of work and challenging, but when you really love eachother and willing to work through your problems, it can definitely work!

    Thanks Mandolinv!

    This whole process has been grueling, and trying. But, we've made it this far by the Grace of God. It wasn't always easy and still isn't by no means......but, our love, commitment to God and eachother, trust, much understanding (wow! it takes alot), and good communication has proven to be a good foundation in our marriage and in preparing us for whats ahead.

    I do appreciate all the responses, and i'm sure others do as well, thank you.

    Thank you Joej & Onwa!

    I absolutely agree that adjusting is not going to be easy, but it's what you make of it and how you consider the feelings of eachother.

    Onwa, i'm in a similar boat as you, where i live there is no African stores or restaurants. The closest city is about 45 minutes to 1 hour away, so i'm sure hubby and i will be travelling there to get some of the food he likes sometimes. I don't know how to cook African food, (yet) but i like some of the local dishes.......i'm just a picky eater, so it's going to be an adventure!

    Thank you for your honesty, it's good to know you put it out there just the way it is........i respect that and appreciate that alot!

    Hello Everyone,

    Is anyone willing to share their experience's about the adjustment phase of having their spouse finally in the US?

    Any problems with face to face communicating, food, major differences, job issues etc......

    God willing soon my husband will be coming home and we get along so wonderfully, communication is good, and everything is so right, we have no complaints. But it would be nice to hear from those who actually have their spouses here to share some of what the adjustment has honestly been like.

    It would seem like once the excitement of getting through the immigration process and the homecoming part is done, is when reality really begins to set in.

    which one is better?

    Thank you All4kweku.

    Yeah, the vaccines are required for CR-1 and unfortunately we have to deal with Akai house. I agree with you about the horror stories, we've heard a few as well and i was hoping to avoid them, but that won't happen. So now we have to hope and pray all goes well.

    Good luck on your interview coming up!
