Met my husband 3 months before we started dating. Moved in together 1 year later. Got engaged 2 years after that, and married another year later.
Those four years gave us the time to get to know each other's habits, families, decision making processes, values, and real visions of the future. We also survived some pretty rough patches during that time, which in hindsight strengthened the relationship and helped each other understand one another better, but could easily have been deal breakers if one of us hadn't put in the work.
Intercultural relationships can be hard work at the best of times. I can't see how being trapped in a marriage could possibly make things easier.
