Relocating

How many of you are open to relocating for a husband or wife? If not, why not? If so, how far are you willing to relocate?

Looking to open a chiropractic practice in the next few years and haven't decided where yet, so I'm open for now!

Depends! Probably not, unless God calls me to

How soon in a new conversation with someone on here do you bring up your locations and which one of you would relocate if you got married? How has it gone?

I really like living in Canada so I think I’m holding myself back a bit from dating U.S. matches. I like to think if I find the right person I’ll go wherever the Lord leads

I would certainly entertain the idea of relocating if I felt it was from God, and if it was moving closer to my daughter. She currently lives 20 miles away from me and shares her time equally between her mother and I, so wouldn’t want to be moving away from her in the opposite direction. That said, I’ve learnt not to question Gods plans, which is why I’m self employed because I trusted that it was what God was calling me to.

I have moved all over the US and lived overseas doing missions, so if God brought a marriage into my life that He was leading me to relocate for/in then yes I would go. But I would definitely have to have God’s peace that the marriage and move was truly His will for me/us. I am hesitant to pursue long distance relationships because it’s much harder to get to know the person. But when it’s from God there is peace

I didn't want to move because I'm an only child and my mother only has me for everything! But I would move if my future husband would help me with the financial issues with her, but most men don't want that but they also don't want to change countries!

I would be happy to pray about it and seek God but God moved me to where I am not that long ago so I would have to be sure it was his will!

Not on a whim or in my own power, but it truly would have to be God orchestrated. Right now I see no need to, but if that's something God spoke into my heart and into theirs, then He'd have to make a way, right?

@Kristina , I like your thinking. I often find myself having those type of conversations with God, i.e., "if that's part of Your story of my life, You're going to have to write it".

My work is telecommute. I would be open, provided she had real family roots where she is living.

I would be open to relocating for the correct woman. Right now I live near the center of the northern US...I could see myself moving just about anywhere in the nation, if I was very certain it was the correct person.

@Sophie thanks! I could see myself relocating internationally, but it doesn't seem probable, if that makes sense.

I have experienced women moving for a job several times in my life but they don’t seem willing to relocate for a relationship towards marriage. Why are people more focused on a job over a possible marriage?

@Christian I think that it may just be that they weren’t fully confident in the relationship being God’s will. Obviously I don’t actually know, but unless I was very certain and at peace about the relationship I wouldn’t want to risk it. Marriage is meant to be for life, if a job relocation doesn’t work out you can move onto something else…

I’m open to relocating but it depends so much on what the situation would be. My work is pretty flexible but I like to have the support network of my family. I would hope for a relationship where we discuss it and come to a good compromise.

I’m looking for someone who’s willing to relocate in my home country as I do not want to leave my old lady (mom), just like Ruth didn’t leave Naomi… except I’ve never been married. So if my future husband’s out there, hoping he messages me when he sees this 🤣

@Aya I didn't want to either, but most men don't want to move even though I said that my mother only has me to help her or take care of her.

@Andreia We have the same situation. I’m sure we will meet someone who is willing. It might just so happen that those men also has their reasons of not being able to move. Let’s keep on praying that we meet someone 🙏☺️💙

Hi @Sophie , cracking question, that it. I personally am not open to relocating for a wife, the reason being that my kids are still in school, their Mum and her partner are really close by, my parents and the majority of my family love in the same city as I do, and the rest live an hour away by plane. It all just works. Does that make sense?

For me it would depend on work location and why we had become long distance.
