MY CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH.... there's NO DOUBT about it...you love her too much to marry her and i respect you for that..MARRIAGE IS NOT A MATTER OF NATIONALITY OR RELIGION...as long as you love and respect each other and there is always open communication then it will work... there is a saying that MARRIAGE is the end of everything,IT IS NOT it is just the start/beginning of knowing each other, sharing the pain,celebrating each happiness... but lets face it...ITS LIFE...and life has its ups and downs... just dont expect a lot from each other.THE BEST THING ABOUT MARRIAGE IS THAT FINALLY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE IS THERE BESIDE YOU AT NIGHTS AND WHEN U WAKE UP IN THE MORNINGS...

GO FOR IT...YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE BEST...FILIPINA WIFE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR EVERY NEEDS...i assure you...

AGAIN....CONGRATULATIONS IN ADVANCE AND THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BOTH....

Depends how the two of you handle the situation. Before getting deeper learn how to adapt each other's culture, lifestyle, and many other relevant aspects of life.

successful marriage has nothing to do with marrying someone from the same race / culture. But of course, it could be 2x as hard to be in that kind of relationship. Imagine trying to adjust to being married at the same time adjusting to each others cultural / language differences.

i guess, a good foundation should be love, respect, patience and commitment to make a marriage work.

if in doubt, think it over 100 times.

my suggestion if u both inlove to each other u should marry her/different nationality/culture is not problem althought it's hard but ofcourse always man is the head of the family...maybe somebody they experience already and they regret or if they still have chance they don't marry someone.but it's not same and we have also different attitude's so u will know ur self if u must marry her or not.but i'm sure ur muslim so better u marry her as u've said soon...

People usually marry in their same culture because understanding another culture - i.e. the language, traditions, religion can be difficult.

There are so many things to do in life. But with an intercultural marriage, both of you will spend a lot of your time after marriage just coping with the intercultural differences.

And then when the children arrive .. the question will be which culture should the child follow ? Fathers? Mothers or both ? Poor child ..

Just google for "intercultural marriages" or "cross cultural marriages" and read. You'll find techniques on how to cope with it, minuses, pluses of it. (Although there are more minuses than pluses).

it depends on both of you.Marriage is a 2 way relationship and respect with each other should be there always.Give and take is also one of the factor for a successful marriage.

I really don't think I answer your Question.

For me,

80% No

20% Yes

I have to correct myself on my previous comment. It is not only you that should work in it. Both of you.

what we observe in such marriages, such love are just skin-deep. Both of you met each other only after reaching Qatar... and some occasional chat. They are just Lust,,,,sometime yes, true love.

as long as you can respect each other and give freedome to each other, there is no problem. As a Muslim, can you digest her behaviour ? Or yu will force her to wear Abaya after the marraige to escape from other mens looks ? will you take her to your home / your parents , if she wears skirts / jeans ?.......there comes the Male hypocrisy.

Marrying different nationality is not a failure. But there will be occasions in your life, both of you cannot accpet customs of each others country

ITS NOT EASY...REALLY NOT! Differences will occur. Beliefs,Culture and a lot lot more.

I am married for a year now but I can say I should put more hardwork in our marriage, despite of the fact that we are both Filipinos we suffer from that stage-Differences! So try to imagine your case.

I'm not saying don't marry her. Because if you truly love her, you have to fight for it. You have to work up your marriage triple the times that I am doing and its not easy process...it is a lifetime commitment.

Remember, marriage is complicated matter.

Just make sure that she's certified single...and so are you. If you love each other...then go ahead. Trust and respect for each other is the most important factor to consider. If she really love, respect and trust you...she will accept everything about you, and she will have to stay by your side no matter what. In return, you have to do the same thing. It's not really hard to cope up with attitude, belief and traditions of Filipinos. I can still say that Filipinas are really wonderful and respected women.

Best wishes!

I would say that as long as you both have respect for each other, for each others religion, and are tolerant of one another you should be fine. The say that love conquers all but thats not true...You need to think seriously whether you can accept her the way she is and she needs to do the same.... Good luck
