When I was living in Okayama, I felt a sense of dissatisfaction with my daily life. Around that time, I started frequenting a local bar run by someone from Jakarta, and I became interested in Indonesia. I took the plunge and traveled there, finding a job. That's where I met my current wife. She's cheerful and someone who isn't afraid to act. We have a natural relationship where we can even crack jokes together. Also, Indonesians have a very strong sense of family and a culture of cherishing parents. I was drawn to those values as well. Now we're blessed with children, and spending time with family is my greatest joy. There were times when I was confused by cultural and religious differences, but by accepting that "differences are natural," we avoided major arguments. Now, I find happiness in the simple moments I spend with my family. You can see glimpses of our real married life on my YouTube channel, "caramel diary."

■My Encounter with Indonesia I've always been interested in overseas countries, and a trip to Bali sparked my interest. I was drawn to the warmth of the local people and the peaceful atmosphere, and I thought, "I want to come back again." Later, I had more opportunities to be involved with Indonesia through my work, and I ended up staying there. ■Meeting My Husband We met through a mutual friend in Indonesia. From our first meeting, he was very friendly, and I felt comfortable in the relaxed atmosphere. Despite differences in values, we felt comfortable being ourselves around each other, and our relationship developed. After about a year and a half of dating, we got married. ■Life After Marriage Currently, I live by traveling back and forth between Japan and Indonesia. We cherish each other's families and have built a warm relationship. I'm increasingly feeling "family is wonderful" in my daily life, and I'm living a peaceful life. ■Differences in Culture and Religion Initially, I was confused by the differences in religion and lifestyle. In particular, there are differences from Japan, such as food and daily routines. However, by accepting that "differences are natural," we've been able to compromise without difficulty. By valuing communication, we have avoided major conflicts and have been able to respect each other. ■Mutual Efforts Her husband is learning Japanese, and Ms. M is actively deepening her understanding of Indonesian language and culture. They prioritize daily communication to overcome language and cultural barriers. ■The Charm of Indonesian Men Their deep family-oriented nature and expressive displays of affection are very appealing. Their protective attitude towards loved ones and profound compassion provide a sense of security. Many also have bright and positive personalities, making you naturally feel more optimistic when you're with them. ■What I Love About My Husband He's kind and always on my side. Being with him makes me feel safe and allows me to be my true self. ■To Those Considering Marriage You may feel anxious at first, but taking that first step will broaden your perspectives and life. I believe you can build a relationship where you enjoy your differences and respect each other. *This is a case of marriage that occurred without using our service, but it is presented as a real example of marriage with an Indonesian man.
