It's $1600 for a round trip ticket. You could just live with him in his house, so no hotel expenses. You only need to see him for a month or so every 6 months. If you both work and combine your finances, as you should being a married couple, it shouldn't be a problem to afford to go. As a last resort, you could always use a line of credit to fund your trip, or work a second job. At least that's what I did when I came to Vietnam last year, in which I got married, had to pay for an entire wedding on my own (as my wife wasn't working that time), paid for 2 honeymoons, one of which involved travelling to another country for a week, and I stayed for a total of 2 months.
You know how I managed to pay all that? I worked a second job for 8 months in the evenings. I basically had 10 months after coming back from Vietnam the previous time, to save up enough money to pay for a wedding and last me 2 months overseas, while still having enough money to pay off my mortgage for 2 months while away. Keep in mind, my salary was fairly modest at the time, only $52,000 a year, my second job gave me an extra $700 every 2 weeks after tax. I lived with my wife so I didn't have to pay any hotel expenses, she basically drove me everywhere so I didn't have to pay for a taxi, so that reduced my expenses a lot.
It sucks to work an extra job to save up to go see your spouse, but you have to ask yourself what's more important to you.
My finances are kind of tight at the moment, but I'm still planning on taking a trip to Europe with my wife late this year, for 3 weeks, then take 1 week in Vietnam. Might have to draw on my line of credit for this trip, but I love her and want to spend time with her no matter what. Well at least this time, she's making really good money now and has a good job, so that will help me a lot this time
