Marriage Advice
Give
this some serious consideration or you will have a
very unhappy wife.
Money
Filipino’s believe that the kids should support
the parents. Your wife will want to send money back
home to her family. She will probably insist on
working at a job here. These ladies are fiercely
independent and want to contribute.
Homesickness
Some Filipinas deal with
homesickness better than others. Understand that: she
will get it bad! Here are some suggestions:
- Find the nearest source of Tagalog DVD's.
- See if your cable provider carries the
Filipino Channel.
- Internet chat groups, there are some that
are for Filipino ladies that have immigrated
here.
- Let her call her family regularly on the
phone. You can save money by using calling
cards. You can get cheap
Calling Cards that support U.S. mobile to
Philippine mobile.
- She can chat with her family using a webcam.
- There are two Filipino cable TV channels
that are popular.
1.
THE FILIPINO CHANNEL
2.
GMA PINOY
Weather
These ladies are used to a very hot and humid
climate and easily get cold or feel cold all the
time. Buy here lots of sweaters and jackets. Try to
keep it hot enough that she feels comfortable. This
usually gets "better" in time. In you live in a very
cold place.....good luck!
Dry Skin
Because it's so humid in the Philippines, the
ladies suffer very badly from dry skin. Makes them
itch and uncomfortable. I suggest you get some kind
of humidifier and use it. Lot's of extra strength
lotions too.
Food
Find the nearest Chinese and Filipino restaurants
to where you live and the nearest Asian supermarket.
Chinese fast-food places too. The whole food issue
can cause stress on your relationship, so be
prepared.
Babies
There is about a 99% chance she will want to have
a baby. So be well prepared for this.
