Philippines Brides

By the time most of us get around to marrying our first Filipina, we usually have been married before… at least once. Many of us have children from previous relationships and some of those are still with us. So how will the new Asawa handle the last wife’s gifts to her husband?

Sadly I have found more examples of the Filipina being less than noble when it comes to her behaviour towards your existing offspring. In one or two cases the marriage has collapsed because she simply can’t handle the fact he has children from ‘her’ and he loves them. Even if he is a great Dad to her own children from her previous marriage!

It doesn’t make sense and it isn’t fair but it is how it all too often is. I know of one couple that have yours, mine and ours and they seem to manage very well. I am sure there were issues to be sorted out from the beginning but having done that, they get along fine. But for my experience they are the exception, not the rule.

Even my own wife is honest about how she would treat any kids of a previous marriage if I had any (which I don’t). She would put her kids before mine and ours before all of them, with hers coming a very close second. At least she is honest.

The Filipina is an intensely loyal lover in so many ways; but that usually means the down side is jealousy that can kill at a thousand yards. If you do have kids of your own and are planning on marrying a Filipina, ask the question. How will she take them? Then ask again a dozen times. If possible, try and spend time together as a family unit before you commit. It really is that important and better to find out now, then have to find another Filipina than to regret things down the track.
