I got married in April, and my marriage has been very happy so far, but sometimes, an international marriage can be difficult.
My wife is Japanese, and she sometimes uses English in her job, so she was hoping to go to England for a two-week English study program. She applied (申し込んだ)for the training, and so did some other people in her section. It was popular (人気) because the company subsidizes (補助金を出す)100 percent of the cost.
Last week, her boss told her that she was rejected (断れた)because she is married to a foreigner (外国人). She was really shocked because we never use business English at home! Anyway, I hope she doesn't regret (後悔) the marriage.
By the way (ちなみに), I noticed that a lot of people make mistakes (間違える) with the words "marry," "married," and "marriage".
To say "結婚する" use "get married", not "marry" or "marriage".
例: ○We are going to get married next month.
例: ×We are going to marriage next month.
例: △We are going to marry next month. (形式言語)
"Get married with" is unnatural (不自然).
例: ×I got married with her last year.
例: ○We got married last year.
"Marriage" is 結婚.
例: ○They have a happy marriage.
"Married" is 結婚している
例: ○They have been married for ten years.
例: ○He is a married man.

I wish you happiness and success.
"marry," "married," and "marriage"..They are confusing.
