I wonder if you could help me. I met a woundeful man from Egypt it will be 7 months on July 1. I am from toronto living in toronto. We met he is a great person and I love him so much. I have only one little problem. He wants to get married in September. I been married before and he hasn't. I might feel bit scared again but I don't want too lose him. I have my job here which I love and enjoy and he has his business in Egypt. My concern is why most Egypation men want to get married after few months, they met their woman. Is this part of the culture or could it be something else. He is not trying to leave Egypt he does want to live there. I keep on asking him and he tells me because he loves so much that is why and it is part of the culture. Could this be true. I am not a Egypt woman, I am Italian Canadian, I am just learning allot about his culture. I wonder if any could help me. Thank you.

Most Egyptians get married when they are financially ready to do so. They have to buy the flat, decorate it etc. This can take some time for the not-so-wealthy, so marrying in a hurry is not the norm.
If you want to wait, just tell him so. You won't lose him if he loves you, he won't just run off and find someone else. Decide where you're going to live; if it's Egypt then spend some time here before marrying to get used to the culture, his family, life here.

Dear Kiss, I cant speak for Egyptian men or even the culture (Im not Egyptian) but am now married to a wonderful Egyptian man whom I only knew 6 weeks before getting married. Rushed? Well, it was right then and it is right now. For us religion played the biggest role and of course culture follows. I think their believes and values of the family are held very high maybe even higher than a lot of Americans or even Canadians (not offending anyone, my personal view).
