I have some questions... I am American and my fiance is Japanese. She was going to college in Japan and took some time off to come to America and go to school. Now she has graduated from school here in America and will return to Japan to finish her other degree. We want to get married first then go to Japan together. Her parents and their friends and associates are saying we should not. Their reason is they think no Japanese company will h ire her if she is married. I understand that things are hard for women in Japan as far as work but aren't they improving? And now she is reconsidering marrying me now and postponing our marriage until she graduates and gets hired. I myself have a "can-do" personality and I think we can work through this together. I know I am unfamiliar with Japan and how these things work their. But isn't not getting married because you are afraid you will not get a good job prioritizing your career before your marriage? Anyways..... any advice, suggestions or input would be great. Thank you!
