Well, considering that my husband willingly and eagerly married me, a Filipina, while he himself is western, it’s safe to say that I could answer yes for him. As for why, well, I can’t say much without boasting about myself, but I can speak for my fellow Filipinas. Filipinas are caretakersWhile true to some extent, this is mostly because westerners weren’t raised the way we were. All Filipinos in general are caretakers because we were raised with a traditional mindset. Women in particular were taught the basics of cleaning, cooking and such because these were skills necessary when growing up. While it comes naturally for me to want to take care of my foreign husband, there are still plenty of Filipinas who will fight you if you throw your expectations at her. Filipinas have a sense of humourI admit, I crack jokes here and there and am somewhat proud that it’s one of the many reasons my husband chose to marry me. I’m aware we Filipinas are naturals in the art of making our partners feel instantly better with our so-called sense of humour. Sometimes, we’re even cornier than you, so be wary. Filipinas are exotic and beautifulI figured it was the short height and the tan skin, to be honest. In the Philippines, you are beautiful if you have light skin, which is ridiculous because we Filipinos are originally tan. I personally never felt like I was beautiful growing up because of this, but ever since I met my now-husband, I’ve felt like I was the most beautiful woman in the world. All in all, there are plenty of reasons why foreigners want to marry my fellow countrywomen, but those 3 are the ones at the top of my head. They are also the most common answers you get when you ask an American why he married his Filipina wife. Also, there’s this thing called LOVE. Yes, it exists. Marry a Filipina all you want, but make sure you fall in love first. People marry for love, right? We certainly did.

I did marry a Filipina from Cebu. Its a great union. She doesn’t necessarily laugh at all my jokes (too corny) but she has a similar view to life as I do. She works hard, never really asks for anything and we complement each other well. We have 2 children ages 12 and 9. They are a good “Mix” which is something that many Filipina are looking for for children. They are like a better looking tanned version of myself 🤣 I didn’t just marry her though. I also married her family. We have supported our Filipino side of the family since my wife came to live in England. Almost every Filipino I know in the UK sends money home to their families. I fully understood this before I married her. I fully accepted it too. I would do the same for my father. Filipino’s are fun loving people. They like nothing better than getting together with friends to share food and talk. Lets face it, I could have done a whole lot worse than marry someone that thinks I’m still attractive after 13 years and is willing to asks my advice and follow my suggestions. She doesn’t have an Ego. Very normal in every way. I’m certainly a lucky guy.
