beginning a relationship

This is my very first post and I have so much to ask!  I am in the early stages of a new relationship and desparately need advice.  I have been friends with this gentleman for about 2 years and our friendship is progressing.  I have known of his schizophrenia and have handled it well so far, however, we don't see each other alot right now, he lives in the U.S and I am in Canada.

I really need direction about all aspects of dating, living with and marrying someone with schizophrenia. I would appreciate any help and information. Michele
