i'm from cebu and i'm married to an american. he's not white though... 4th generation japanese-american from hawaii. the only problem is... i'm in canada. my family migrated here. my visa is still pending... will be having an interview on march 20th. really can't wait for that.
it's been quite interesting really... to be married to someone who comes from a different culture. he's already 4th generation so he's totally americanized.
i just take things for granted... i just expect that things just operate in a certain way or that they are just like that... often times, my husband and i get into arguments and discussions. but once we cool our heads and analyze the situation, it's just merely the difference in culture.
just make sure to be patient and understanding at times. i don't know how westernized your wife is, but even i who was pretty much was brought up with american tv shows and movies did have some sort of disorientation when i moved to north america (like i didn't know how a washer and a dryer works coz the maids did it at home).
it's fun though, don't be scared... but really really trying =) but i'm just so lucky to have such an amazing husband who understands.

I am filipina but not cebuana, im newly wed to american. I think dont expect anything from her like what my husband did. We spend a lot of time disucussing things that we have to know each other, about our likes and dislikes, experiences, hobbies and food. Communications is the best in a relationships. My husband always keep our communications open like everytime he is at work, he calls me at least 3-4 time. He speak fluently, slowly and patiently in a manner that I will understand him clearly. He explain all the details what were discussing. Do the best you can to understand and be patient to what you should know about her and vice versa. Good luck and God bless.

i am from Cebu Philippines married now in a western man for close a year..we always argue things that are really nonsense,i can't understand him sometimes and the same as he is..specially making decision..my husband is one of the typical men i ever known but still i try to understand him and support..I'll try to be open minded..when there are times he said something wrong i never tolerate him doing such things like that..we have a lots of prob like age gap,culture,religion,belief..everything but still he knows that I'm always here for him..solve right away any small misunderstanding before it Will destroy the marriage..
good luck..hope you got the good one..
