Why Filipino Women Marry American Men

Why Filipino women marry American men may sound a bit strange to a lot of people.  After all, the differences between the two are just too many and too glaring. Besides their home countries in opposite directions, Filipino women and American men are so different in so many ways.

In terms of physical attributes, the two can’t be the same. Filipino women are generally short in stature. The average height of Filipino women is only 5 feet and 2 inches. Filipinas have a characteristically dark complexion, a flat nose, and chinita eyes that are a dark brown in color. Their hair is either jet black or dark brown. But a Filipina’s smile is charming to the point that you don’t easily forget about it. In fact seldom can you see a Filipina smiling at you and not be instantly drawn to her. There’s just too much warmth in her smile.

Americans, on the other hand, are very tall people. At 6 feet and 2 inches tall, they may look like giants next to Filipino women. Americans have white complexion, and their eyes can be blue, green, brown, grey, or black. Their hair can be blond, ash, brown or black.

Filipino women are family-oriented. They are very close to their families. A typical Filipino home is never lonely with grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren all living together under the same roof. Americans love their independence. They long to be free and so many of them leave their home to live by themselves the moment they turn 18 years old. Many Americans don’t even get to see their families for a long time. But while Americans may appear to want to live their own lives, it does not mean that they care about their families less.

Filipinos are generally conservative. You can see this in the way they dress, speak, carry themselves, and in the values they uphold. They are generally one-man-women, and for them marriage is a sacrament that must be valued greatly. There are no divorce laws in the Philippines yet. Americans, meanwhile, are liberated. They wear anything they want not caring what other people think. They are bolder in their choice of clothes or speech. Couples living together outside marriage are common to Americans. Divorce is a fact of life.

But maybe it is because of all these differences that Filipino women are drawn to American men and vice versa. As the saying goes, opposites attract. Maybe the fact that they are so unlike each other is also the one thing that will keep them together. Because they are different, they can learn from each other, and that makes everything more exciting, doesn’t it?

Marriage can still work even if the two people involved do not look the same or who have differing opinions and personalities. One does not need to change his/her personality for the other person, unless, of course, one’s personality is becoming destructive already. The secret to a lasting marriage is to blend all the differences together and to understand and appreciate all these differences.

So why Filipino women marry American men is really not about money or acquiring the US citizenship, but about true love amidst the differences.

Why Marry A Filipina and Why Not?

Why marry a Filipina when you can get any girl to spend the rest of your life with? Why a Filipina of all races? Well, if what you want is someone with substance, then indeed, a Filipina makes a wise choice.

  • Filipino women value marriage. As many of them grew up under the care of both parents, they naturally expect their marriage to also last forever. So if you are a one-woman-man who believes in marriages that last a lifetime, a Filipina is the woman for you.
  • A Filipino woman is a great companion at home. Not only is she reliable when it comes to organizing things at home, but she can also be an excellent stress-reliever. She can make you feel better by whipping your favorite meal, brewing the perfect cup of coffee, massaging your stress points and entertaining you with funny stories. A Filipino woman is someone you really would like to come home to at the end of a stressful day.
  • Filipinas are known to be doting mothers. For a Filipina, children are a priority. She’s willing to go through lengths and widths to be sure that her children are safe, healthy, well-provided for and happy. She takes care of their needs from sunup to sundown. With her untiring love and support, she does deserve to be called a “superwoman”.

On the other hand, there are also reasons why you should not marry a Filipina:

  • If you think that a Filipina will be at your every beck and call, don’t marry one. Filipina women are loving people, yes, but don’t expect them to be your slave. They may want to do things out of love, but don’t abuse their generosity.
  • Don’t marry a Filipina, either, if you only intend to keep her in the house and not allow her to socialize or do anything else than taking care of you. Keep in mind, Filipino women are smart and sociable people. They may naturally want to do something productive, something that will enhance their skills and creativity, something that will develop them as a person. Don’t worry, allowing a Filipina to do what she wants and to explore the world does not mean that she will leave you. It will, in fact, only make her a better person, and as she becomes a better person, she also becomes a better wife and mother.
  • Don’t marry a Filipina for reasons other than love.

Most Filipino women grew up as Catholics who believe that marriage is a sacrament. As a sacrament, it needs to be respected and preserved. A marriage with a Filipina is bound to last forever when you marry her because of love and of course when you also do your share to make things work. It takes two to tango, as they say, and a Filipina makes a good partner when you dance the music of love.

When you begin to appreciate the desirable qualities of Filipino women, you will not wonder anymore why marry a Filipina when there are plenty of beautiful roses in the garden.
