How We Met, American Filipina Long Distance Relationship LDR

[@dougwashingtonbound196]

Met my wife online in 2011. We married 2012. And we've been together for 10 years. She is a wonderful women, wife and mother. And yes she is from the Philippines.

[@Marker44]

Congratulation to you guys! Thank you for commenting!

[@faronray5765]

Wow. So interesting. I met my wife on DIA also in 2008. We have been married going on 12 years now. I sent DIA a message telling them thank you for letting me use their site for free. We have a 10 year age gap. Out of 150 or so profiles that I read on DIA at that time, only one fit me at my age of 51. I sent her a message and the rest is history. I am now retired in Cebu City Philippines for the 2nd time. Had to go back to the States 2 years ago because my wife came down with breast cancer. She got through her treatments and now we came back to retire the 2nd time in the Philippines.

[@Marker44]

Another success story in more ways than one. Hope you are both doing well. Thanks for watching! Congrats on your retirement!

She is lucky to have a loving caring and hard working American husband! When you’re older and retired , the more you will appreciate marriage with your spouse , and the children. God bless your family.

I’m going back watching some of your old videos because my wife and I were wondering how you guys met. Asian dating is how we met as well in August of 2015. She was working as a nanny in Hong Kong and we chatted for 8 months before I met her in the Philippines at Manila airport. I never flown before and was a little nervous to fly half way across the world to meet up and she wasn’t even there yet from her flight from Hong Kong. Being from small town Oklahoma it was a great experience for me but life changing all at the same time. We flew to Leyte a week later to meet all her family and was overwhelmed by the kindness and hospitality of her mother and siblings.We had a great time for my month there before I went back to U.S. We decided to marry in the U.S. so I petitioned her with K1 visa and after her arrival here in 18’ we went back to Leyte to remarry in front of all her family In Palompon. Just wanted you to know my wife and I really enjoy you channel! Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@Marker44]

Thank you for sharing your story, Kirby! I can really relate to your experience. Showing up in Philippines like that can be pretty overwhelming for an Oklahoma boy. Really happy to hear that you guys are enjoying the channel. Sounds like youve made all the right decisions. Wish you guys the best of luck. Stay tuned and take care. Thanks again!

Same with me with my husband long distance relationship after two years dating and after two years we get married and we been married for almost 25 years. We have 20 years old daughter and in college. Is about attitude and love sacrifice God is center of our marriage otherwise without him is really hard. And we have a really wonderful marriage we have ups and downs and is all normal all relationships. My husband is 7 years old and his American and I’m Filipina. 👍✝️🇵🇭🇺🇸

I know this is an old video, but if you happen to browse it again Scott, you will see how "kilig" your wife was while looking at you. You're one lucky guy!

[@Marker44]

Thank you Romeo!

[@AndrewLander3]

Interesting, I did the same in 2015, married in a small town in Lagonglong Misamis Oriental and got a second daughter as a bonus. Yes you have to get the blessings. We had to fly in the Commissioner since I had only 4 weeks time and then you also need paperwork from the embassy. Then I had her PR card made for Canada and soon we will go back for good for the same reasons you mentioned in other videos. You cannot retire here. You only pay bills and taxes. Drugs taking over the cities. You only work. We had 2 years apart. We never fight. I am so happy and grateful!!

[@Marker44]

Congratulations to you guys! Good luck with your plans.

[@AndrewLander3]

@@Marker44 My wife comes from Don Carlos, Bukidnon, Mindanao. She is a farmgirl. She knows agriculture. Beside our small pension allowance our daughter will also chip in since she will stay behind in Canada. This is what Filipinos do. We have a small farm and we will lease 10 ha land for 5 years and plant sugar cane, sweet potato, and other crops to boost our annual income by about $24,000. Labor cost only 250 PHP a day. You manage. A lot of data is online. Something to think about since if you dont do anything you WILL get bored.

I feel your pain brother....Only Causation white guy there. I have lived in Dinaluphian Bataan for 3 years now, and I have not met a single white guy yet here. I'm the only white guy in my area. I met my wife 12 years ago and we dated for 9 years before I finally married her. I wanted to retire first. we always wanted to live here not the USA

[@Marker44]

I does take some adjustment being an extreme minority here. Im always noticing when we go to Subic that there are so many white guys there compared to Balanga.

[@Isarog1055]

I was 24 years old when my friend gave me my husband's name back in 1978. My friend owned a pen-pal company and I worked as a typist for the applicants. At that time I was very innocent never knew anything about anything. Marilou told me to send my picture to this guy in America. At that time we communicated through snail mail and it took two weeks to reach where it's going. One time I received a phone call and Will (my husband now) told me that he was coming to meet me in person. I was shaking and almost dropped the phone because I thought I was just practicing my English by writing to each other and never serious about anything. He came to the Philippines in 1978 and he filed for a petition for me back in 1979 and we've been married ever since. We are now grandma and grandpa for two adorable grandkids.

[@Marker44]

Great story, congrats!

I am thinking of moving to the Philippines also. I am just wanting to have my retirement go further than it will in the U.S. I have sponsored women for college because my father did the same thing. 2 women took my compassion to heart and went to college and actually studied and graduated from college. I did it not to court them but wanting to help and genuinely ask for nothing in return. But it is time to move to a place and live comfortably without worrying about struggles. Yes, I know about some women being dishonest but I was blessed to sponsor 3 women for college and having only 1 being dishonest. I am Filipino also but I don't speak the language but I do know the culture. What is the website again? God Bless you and your Ohana!
