Dear Shamshaad,

Hope you guys qualify and land in your desired service group.
In Foreign Service, if you are in the same grade, it becomes increasingly difficult to be posted in the same Mission (Embassy/Consulate). As for the Ministry, its obviously not an issue. Majority of Pakistan's Mission's abroad are 2- man Missions, i.e. and Ambassador and an Officer. the exception is in bigger Missions (Washington, Riyadh, Geneva, New York, Beijing etc.) You may get a chance to get posted together with your spouse. However, it would be a one off stint.
It will be difficult to manage your married life living apart especially as the family grows. It is the same with joining any other service. At any given time either one of you will have to choose between staying together or pursuing his/her career.
In the end, it is a personal choice ofcourse and it is always best to know what you are signing up for.
Regards and best wishes !
