I mean, I noted that women left to their own devices have gotten fat, covered in tattoos, and do weird things with their hair.
So have men. This is just a large part of Western culture at this point.

English would get you farther in most of Sub Saharan Africa then it will in Japan.

Father learns Mandarin and we're back to the happy case. The US foreign service estimates 2200 class hours to learn Mandarin. Father doesn't need to speak Mandarin, he only needs to comprehend it, but he's also not taking classes, he's trying to pick it up from "immersion" that happens whenever the family is all together. This is rare. Mandarin is among the hardest languages for native English speakers to learn, so maybe this could work for, say, Spanish, but I doubt that this works in the long run. It's easy enough to pick up ve a bañarte ahora but I doubt that you can work your way up to actually substantive conversations as an adult with such minimal exposure.
If you are not trying to read and write and just speak basic "kitchen Mandarin" you can get that in six months self study. With pretty much any language it's not THAT hard to get to a basic level about household topics.

If your a non Orthodox Christian you have much more freedom to practice your faith under the Western Liberals. Look at the Amish and Hasidic in the US. America lets weird hyper conservative religions exist the Netherlands and France both have small but thriving communities of conservative Christians.
There's a huge number of marriagable women that meet your standards if you expand your search globally.
