Now I have a girlfriend who is 27 years old (2 years ahead of me). We've been dating for 1 year and one month. And we both work for different companies as a employee.
Although we both want to get married next year now, there are a few problems I'm concerned about.
First. I don't think my income is good enough to get married. My girlfriend says to me income doesn't matter when we think about our marriage. What do you think about income when considering marriage. (Maybe I'm going to switch jobs the end of this year or next year to step up my carreer)
Second, my girlfriend goes abroad frequently (at least once a month) on her business. Do you think going on a trip frequently will make our marriega destroy? Sometimes we have a huge argument over the phone when she goes abroad. If I also become to go abroad on my business in the future, what do you think will become of us? Please let us know how to establish a good mindset for us to get over this problem.
Finally, here in Japan, I often hear that marriage couples who have already spent for many years tend to lose their affection to each other. Would this problem occur even in the U.S? And what things should we do in order not to be such a miserable couple?
That's all my questions. Thank you very much in advance.
