Ha! That's right. My wife is allowed to discipline her neices and newphews, no questions asked.

Oh, okay, I can see that. We see that in America too to get rid of an unwanted spouse. I actually like that about marriage; I feel like I have to work things out, I have to find a better way, as a husband it starts with me. God is going to hold me accountable for our marriage since I am the head...

I could cry from reading some of your comments because they are RIGHT ON! Actually maybe they were others comments in here I don't know how to use the quote feature but suffice it to say, a foreign husband expecting to remove his wife from her family is going to end in disaster! He should...

I am sorry this happened to you. Filipino men have a reputation there for being playboys and Filipinas are not shy to raise that fact. What often happens is men find a mistress when living in the Philippines. It is common, even the president has some. Maybe that's to be expected when biblical...

Some people are sure America will last until the end of time but there is so much immorality and insanity. Our plans are to retire in the Philippines and yes, I am aware of the problems there too. It's sad.

It happens a lot. Realistically, it is wise to designate certain days or talk about it ahead of time, so one doesn't have to worry about it. In theory it sounds great, but in reality a lot goes into being in the mood and being able to be relaxed and focused. I don't think there is anything wrong...

Don't violate your conscience. Do what pleases the Lord.

Personally at 58 I don't, but my younger wife does and my pastor tells me I should still try to be fruitful and multiply and I can agree with both of them. That's all there is to it for me. I have not had children but I do want my wife to have someone to help take care of her when she is older...

Good thoughts!

Like America? With what I see on television we can add having lost our minds.

Oh the speculation never ends, that's just people. I am also sure the pastor is looking for spiritual reasons as that is the only requirement. He will look for someone attractive to him, naturally, but he must marry a Christian and they are all over the world.

What do you mean?

Some of these women are raised to be faithful. In the Philippines there is no divorce. Sadly that causes other issues like mistresses.

Very intersting question. Without thinking too much, maybe it comes down to she has less desire to pursue a man than a man has to pursue a woman. It would feel weird to me to have a woman pursue me.

Many women in foreign countries make 5 dollars a day, which isn't bad. The top call center jobs could net 10 dollars a day. When she can make 15 dollars an hour or more here plus overtime, that has great appeal.

My wife got her SSN within a month, then started working. She didn't have 2 Master's degrees but all she needed was a SSN to pay taxes.

For clarification the mail order bride concept has been illegal for awhile. Marrying overseas after connecting on a dating site is different, as is going on a tour in another country to meet multiple prospects at once. I know a church deacon many years ago who before the internet, wrote letters...

Good points. I married overseas at 53 after being invisible for thirty years. I felt it was my last chance and hadn't even thought about it until my pastor suggested it. I preferred a woman who didn't drink and didn't have children or grandchildren. That is a challenge today. I also wanted...

Awesome question. I am 27 years older than my wife and live in America. As far as I know, few people care about the age difference and treat her well because she is an amazing woman with character. My mother lives with us and she loves my wife too. But, as for a pastor having a younger wife...

I agree with your remarks. Timothy may have been an exception but having a young pastor who isn't married is problematic.
