Marianna Forte is a renowned Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt. She has also coached the Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Her knowledge of Jiu Jitsu is vast with over 25 years training and coaching under her belt. However, when it comes to marrying someone from one nationality such as Brazilian or American, it is not as easy as marrying someone from another one. You need to be aware of certain things so that your relationship with your spouse will go on for a long time to come.
One of the most important things to consider is marital status. Marital status will determine the legal age of your spouse, which could be eighteen years old in the states of Brazil and the United States. If your spouse is above this age, he/she will be of legal age and if your spouse is below this age, he/she is not legally an adult and you are not eligible to marry. Another issue is nationality. Some nationalities get married very young like American or Japanese, whereas others wait.
You should also know the educational level and careers of your spouse. If your spouse has higher education than you, his/her nationality may also be of importance such as if your spouse is an American and has a degree he/she will not be allowed to work in a company that does business with American clients if he/she is below the age of 18. However, some nationalities are open to both partners having similar educational levels and careers even if they are of different nationalities if the marriage contract stipulates this. You must also be aware of the legal age of your spouse in your state.
