SPOON, it has nothing to do with inconvenience. VAUX, as far as visiting, I agree with you. I will, or we will, one day visit. As to how I married a Lutheran, well, it was interesting. LONG story, but to make a long one short, I am a Traditional Jew, but not explicitly Orthodox. I am trans-denominational. And my wife and I are not having children. We married with my Rabbi's agreement. If we had been wanting children, the marriage would probably have never occurred.
Back to you, Spoon. Inconvenience is one thing. My wife being able to function as a human being is more than an inconvenience. She would be unable to work. I am presently unable to work. We could not survive in Israel. Like I said, of course we will visit. Or at least I will. But living there isn't practical.
