The Philippines proudly boasts of being the only Christian nation in Asia. If you’re looking for a Christian bride, this is the place to be.

Aside from religion, there are also plenty of reasons why Filipinas make excellent brides. So many western men have gone out of their way to meet a girl from the Philippines in hopes of marrying one. Those who are familiar with online dating and have dated Filipina already know why these women are so desirable.

In terms of physical attributes, they got in spades. Their feminine charm is also something they are proud of and let’s not forget the soft, big brown eyes and bright smiles.

There are more reasons but let’s start with the point we’re here to make:

1. Filipinas are raised religiously

The Philippines is predominantly Roman Catholic and it is common amongst Philippine families to raise their children with the church in mind. Because of this, the ladies grow up to be religious while some stay as non-practicing Catholics. They grew up with the church, therefore some of their qualities are aligned with what they were taught as kids.

For example, while it’s legal to have a divorce somewhere else, it isn’t in the Philippines. Socially, it is heavily frowned upon, mostly by women. It’s not that they don’t believe in divorce, they were just raised with high values concerning honesty and fidelity. Women who marry there don’t resort to divorce when they are unhappy.

They talk things out because being patient and understanding is something they’ve been taught as well. The values they learned as kids manifest in the way they handle situations.

2. It’s marriage first, money later

Since they live in a society where divorce is something nearly unacceptable, Filipinas will always put the stability of their marriage first before the money. The thing about Filipinas is that because of how they were brought up, family always comes first with them. In other words, they are more willing to sacrifice their career than their family.

This doesn’t mean their devotion is unconditional, however. Anyone in an honest and loving relationship will never consider divorce as an option. Still, if a Filipina’s husband abuses her physically or verbally, she will of course resort to divorce. Especially if she was given the opportunity.

So as long as you love and treat her well, things won’t come to that.

3. Most of the women there are well-educated

Having a college education is treated with utmost importance in the Philippines. Women even outnumber men in terms of college graduates overall.

If you decide to visit the Philippines, you will end up seeing many modern women going about their day as they chase their dreams and manage whatever career they have going on. Once you meet one, you will find out soon that she can very well keep up with you with almost any topic. Their intelligence especially shines when you find one speaking to you in fluent English.

4. A lot of them prefer mature and older men

Since plenty of young women would rather marry someone serious than a man their age who likes to mess around, it is more likely a Filipina will date an older man.

The best trait these ladies have is how they perceive older men as less promiscuous and more mature. And that is despite the apparent age gap. In this day and age, nobody really cares about May-December couples anymore. It’s just become so common in the last few years. So of course, this made plenty of younger ladies more open to the thought.

Plus, there is a sense of security with older men. They create this sense of stability that entices Filipinas, especially those men who have more life experience. Women seek that as well as financial security. When a marriage comes into the picture, financial stability is something they zero in on. After all, smart women are very practical.

5. Filipinas are Homemakers

The Philippines has a very collective culture in general. This means they have very close relationships with their families. After all, being family-oriented doesn’t come from anywhere. If you stop by any Filipino households, it is mostly the women who take care of the family.

They are taught from a young age to manage the household and look after siblings and grandparents. Considering this, Filipinas develop a certain tenderness and caring nature for others. And in terms of responsibilities, it is usually the wife who was in charge of keeping the house together.

The wife is commonly the one who has to cook, clean, and keep the peace at home. The last one, in retrospect, is probably the most difficult task out of all of them. But they do it out of compassion and love because a lot of these women enjoy doing these tasks.

This is probably one of the reasons why Filipina mothers are labeled as the “ilaw ng tahanan” which means “light of the family”. Because they do their best to create a warm and loving environment within the house.

Guaranteed loyalty

Be it a Filipina, an American, a Russian woman, or even any woman in your country, anyone who is genuinely in love with their romantic partner can be the most faithful in the whole world.

Still, since Filipinas are very religious and were raised with the idea that marriage is sacred, their loyalty is slightly above the rest. But take it with a grain of salt. Filipinas are indeed loyal but there are still some bad eggs out there that you should probably avoid. The majority of the women are very traditional though and only stick to one man.

After all, several of them went through their own heartaches of being cheated on. They aren’t the type to make you go through that too. If a Christian man wishes for a loyal Christian wife, then the Philippines is the place to go.
