Some factors that contribute to the success of a marriage between an American man and a Filipina woman: White men love Asian women, Asian women love white men. Self explanatory.Less tribalism mentality, with intermarriages throughout the Philippine history. Are the majority of Filipinos multiracial?The Filipino culture has a strong colonial mentality. Anything western is seen as superior to local counterparts, from products to facial features and skin color. Caucasians and mestizos (mixed race) are considered good-looking.Filipinos have some cultural affinity with the west. The Filipino culture has been influenced by the Spanish culture for centuries, then strongly influenced by the American culture.Less language barrier. As a population, Filipinos are among the most fluent English speakers in Asia. Who can speak better English: Filipinos, Singaporeans, Malaysians, Hongkongers, Indonesians or Indians?Less racist culture. What is it like to live in a place where racism doesn't exist?

Success rate is based on benchmarking. I don't believe there are any such data to support your question. However, I can tell you that this is 100% untrue. As I grew up in a US military family, I was surrounded by mixed marriage couples. I, myself, am half American and Filipino. I) My parents divorced after 12 years of marriage. My mom eventually remarried and is now a 2x divorcee 2) My mother’s Filipina friends often cheated on their husbands (husbands cheated, too) 3) Many of my friends (half-Filipino), also had parents divorce or cheat 4) As an adult, I personally know many naturalized Filipinas, divorced While I would love to say that these relationships are successful, it's like any type of relationship regardless of nationality or circumstance. It's not perfect.
