> If the answer does NOT include "successfully raise well-adjusted children in a 2-parent household", then don't even waste your time with a marriage.
A good counter argument could be - what if your plans could change? Should you keep this change of plans possible?
> You are the one screening an abundance of applicants for the job position of "spouse", looking to disqualify the bulk of them.
Don't forget the rather plausibly-looking model when the better you are, the higher bar you have to satisfy you, so of course you'll have to disqualify the discouraging bulk and be left with the pool smaller and harder the more achieving you are.
> Never repatriate your new spouse back to the United States.
If you're planning to live in US, this advice may cost you dearly. A woman disconnected from her roots and struggling to find her new place in society is something I wouldn't recommend to be near as the cause of issues.
