Want to marry a Filipina but don't know where to start? In this article 'A Step by Step guide', you'll get a brief overview of what's involved.

Why marry an Asian Women?

Asian women are loving, loyal and treat their husbands with respect. Asian women don't try to undermine their husbands or seek the upper hand. Asian women have strong family values we've long since forgotten in the West.

Why choose a Filipina wife?

Of all the women of South East Asia, Filipinas are more popular to marry than their Chinese or Thai counterparts. Filipinas are more natural and friendly. Language is rarely a problem, the Philippines is the 5th largest English speaking country in the world. After years of Spanish and American influence, Philippines culture is similar to the West.  The Philippines is the only Christian (Catholic) country in Asia.

How to meet a Filipina looking to marry?

The safest place to meet a Filipina looking for marriage is a reputable Dating Website. FilipinaHeart.com is probably the most popular, join here FREE to browse profiles and pictures.

 What happens next?

Don't rush into anything. If you've never spoken to a Filipina, take time to chat to different women but don't lead anybody on. If you're used to the stand off manner of Western woman, a Filipina will be a pleasant surprise - she'll be naturally friendly, polite and greet you with a warm smile. Often the Filipina will try to push things along and sweep away the competition - don't leap into a relationship with the first woman you meet.

Picking the right woman

Make decisions about the fundamentals BEFORE getting into a relationship. Do you want children? Do you want her to relocate to your country? What sort of age range are you looking for? (Filipinas expect to marry men older than themselves). Don't pay to much attention to profile pictures, they're rarely a good likeness - most Filipinas just smile at a web cam and click. Remember Filipinas are conservative - be wary of women showing acres of cleavage. Don't take the 'picking the most suitable person for the position' attitude. Be natural and something will click - it's that simple.

Keep everything

If you plan to marry and bring your Filipina to the UK, she will require a Visa. You will need to satisfy the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO), the relationship is genuine. Keep every email, phone bill, your Skype and Yahoo chat logs... anything that is proof of communication.

Visiting the Philippines

After a few months you'll want to visit your honey in the Philippines. Apart from the fact it is common sense to spend time together before marriage, it's a requirement of a UK Entry Clearance Fiance Visa. If your travel experience is limited, don't worry, Filipinas are great hosts and very good organisers.
