Redhead american moving to Morocco for marraige

8 years ago
I am NOT concerned about my fiance and his love for me. I absolutely know that it is real. But I am concerned about is culture shock
I will be moving to yousophia near Marrakesh. I am just beginning to learn French and will work on Arabic once I am there.

I would very much like to be able to get a job so that I can save money to return to the US to visit my children. I have college education but my language skills are at this point limited. What are my chances of getting a job as a foreigner next to nill?
My fiance tells me that there's no need to cover my hair in his city. That several Muslim women do not, however, I feel it may be best since I look so incredibly different and I wish to be respectful to those around me. (I have red hair and blue eyes and very light skin and freckles.)

My fiance is a virgin at the age of 41 and I saw Farah's comment that we should register our relationship at the police department when I arrive. He's already informed me that we will not be able to have relations until after the marriage ceremony.
I am a Christian but have absolutely no intention of trying to convert anyone. I believe in religious freedom.

What I am concerned about as possible terrorism acts of violence against Christians and simply how I should act in public. What is correct and what is not in how I treat my husband and Public and how I should treat others. How should I expect to be treated by them? He says that is all right for a married man and woman to hold hands in public and put their arms around each other's shoulders. Don't know if I would try it until after the marriage from what I have read.

Any advice on how I should dress and act in public , how I should expect to be treated would be so appreciated.

Thank you in advance, Donna
