every american woman I know works full time, never has 'enough' money, tries to dump all the child care on the husband and turn him into the wife.

I've been married to a Thai lady from the North East for 25 years,and never regretted it for a moment.Sure there are language problems to begin with if your wife speaks little English,but those problems are minor.I'd say go for it,,,,,,,,and good luck
