Its not easy to marry a Qatari as their are too many women and not enough men.  My husband is Qatari and we lived outside the country for many years til the laws changed but nwo its become difficult again.  Although he could live outside the country but most men are not happy not being in their own homeland and obviously they benefit from being home.  Qatar is much easier to live now as society is opening up and their is far more entertainment and shopping but the economy is now difficult, hard to make a living.  If his family agrees you have won more than half the battle, they can be more difficult than the govt. Life is what you make it anywhere, but Qatar is different so you have to be more understanding and realize you cannot make Qatar like America you will be disappointed, as its a new country just finding its way.  Good luck to you. It can be a lovely adventure if you let it be!
