How to make your existing Australian Filipina relationship even better

Filipina Wives is the YouTube Playlist for the http://www.filipinawives.com.au website, which is set up specifically to provide free advice and guidance for Australian men who are already in loving relationships, married, engaged or de facto, with Filipina ladies. The site explains the wonderful aspects of marriage between Filipinas Filipino ladies are referred to as “Filipinas” and Australian aka “foreign” men.

These videos are about cross-cultural relationship issues between mixed-marriage couples from Australia and Philippines that can cause confusion and misunderstandings in Australian Filipina relationships. It's also about issues that will affect Australians in the Philippines.

It is a great source of useful information to assist and help men avoid the mistakes that mainly come from a lack of understanding of a unique Asian culture. Knowledge is power. And knowledge can mean the difference between disappointment and hurt, and a very fulfilling and bright future.

And please note that neither the Filipina Wives site and this playlist is NOT a marriage service or introduction agency. We will not find partners or husbands for anybody. We only offer advice and useful anecdotes based on personal experience with cross-cultural relationships and the cultures of Australia and the Philippines. Do not ask us to matchmake for you.
