Life seems to be a journey and for me it has been one filled with a roller coaster of ups and downs. Cirila is my 4th marriage. Now before you judge me, there are reasons for this that I believe were outside of my control. I spent most of my adult life having sole custody of my 2 boys from my first marriage. It is a long story and one filled with hardships, especially for them. Lets just say that I was given custody of my children at the age of 23. As a single father trying to navigate the world around you it can be difficult at times. I worked hard and played the game of life always trying to better myself and those around me.

Fast forward to 2010. Never ask a man to choose between his kids and you. Now, with my 3rd marriage behind me I began to wonder if there was any chance at all of finding happiness in this world with anyone.

I was operating a marketing business in Florida and my business partner was married to a Filipina. He kept telling me that he met his Filipina wife on a dating site and that he travelled to the Philippines to meet her and her family before deciding to get married and have her come back to the United States with him. At first I thought this was a long and hard process that would not work for me. Most men think the process is too difficult. The reality is that as of today, 14 years later, I can tell you finding a Philippines companion and marrying her was the single best decision of my life.

Taking care of your husband is a learned behavior taught in many Asian Countries. It is the culture of women in the Philippines to cater to their spouse and to make sure he is loved, supported and happy. For me, it seemed as though nothing I did here in the United States made a difference. So I set out on a journey to determine why I was so unlucky at home.

“It is a learned behavior to take care of your husband and make sure his needs are met.”

The old ways are dying off. We must work hard to bring back the ways of the past. The love, the intimacy, the communication that made a man and a woman successful in their relationship.

Story continues. Stay tuned. Update coming.
