Wow. I can't believe you're considering choosing between your wife and your job. You obviously don't love her as much as you say man.

There is nothing wrong with planning for the future. He is trying to not have to choose one over the other.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend marriage before you are established and can support a family on your own. That being said, I believe if you are married your spouse can get a spouse visa and your wife can live there. It is important to keep in mind that many schools that hire English teachers have single or studio apartments pre-rented for the teachers, or some have single sex dormitories, so that may limit your options in that respect. Also, talk with her about this. Living in a foreign country can be one of the most stressful experiences of one's life, especially if one is not in love with the country and cannot speak the language. Not necessarily recommended for newlyweds.

thank you so much i understand what you are saying and the idea with the spouse visa is good idea. luckily she has been learning japanese and really loves the country, i think i will have a conversation with the japanese embasy this week to see what my options are and that this problem has been eating at us for a while. i think i might ask her to live with me first so we can see if we can actually live together with out being at eachothers throats.

Good luck with that. The honeymoon period lasts about 2 weeks but the true test takes about 6 months lol.

if you are not a japanese citizen or have a P.R your spouse will unfortunately only be able to get a dependent visa through you. she may still theoretically be able to get a work visa herself, although based on what you written i would say that seems difficult. the exception might be if you can get a visa based upon japanese heritage. that visa status i don't know too well.
as a dependent i believe you are still able to work, however only 28h a month and for this you need an extra permit. 蒼天（そうてん）翔（か）ける日輪（にちりん）の 青春の覇気 美（うるわ）しく 輝く我が名ぞ 阪神タイガース ※オウ オウ オウオウ 阪神タイガース フレ フレ フレフレ

To the OP I would say that unless you are uber conservative. Just marry her for the convenience. It will make things a lot easier.
