That would enable you to 'be' here, studying or looking for a job you want to do - not just something to keep you in the country. I don't want to sound like a Japanese government commercial - "make babies, don't play pachinko", but marriage does give one a great deal of 'freedom' here - and until the kids come along you're basically still a single guy with a wife. 'DINKI' was the expression I think back in my London yuppie days - Dual Income No KIds. -- jonathan
