Important Details About What Filipina Women Think An Ideal Husband Should Be
In the Philippines, marriage is something that
is synonymous to the idea of forever or growing old together for several reasons.
First, divorce is non-existent or not being practiced in the Philippines though
it is already being studied and carefully considered these days but it still has
a very long way to go. Second the country is pre-dominantly Catholic and keeping
a marriage sacred is one of the systems of belief of the church that is why it
is a very big offense if one is separated from his or her partner. And these are
just few of the reasons why Filipina women look for an ideal
husband no matter what it takes her. So what are the different
criteria that a man should possess before he can be considered as an ideal husband?
For one, because the Philippines value family the most family members are very
close to each other and this includes sons being so attached to their mothers
to the point of being dependent and clingy. So this is one non-ideal characteristic
of a man, those who are considered as mama’s boys. Second,
Filipina women saw all the hardships of their own country being
considered as Third World and really suffering economically. That is why they
are looking for men who can support a family and a man who has a stable job. He
does not need to be rich he just needs to be able to provide for the family. And
if a certain man has this quality, then he is already way above the pack. Filipinos
in general are very faithful to their partners, again because of the reasons stated
earlier. Filipinos are really monogamous, one partner forever. They stay true
to their wedding vows and this is one trait that is a must to be considered an
ideal husband. Having a close knit family is also one of
the characteristics of Filipinos. Filipina women always find
this kind of attribute to men that they meet. It is very important for Filipinas
that their husband has a very good relationship with his own family, parents and
siblings. For Filipinas this is a reflection of how a man would raise and take
care of his own family. Women love a man who could defend
her in every given situation this is the knight in shining armor and damsel in
distress phenomenon. Women love men who would fight for them or metaphorically
take a bullet for them, and this is something that all women are guilty of, not
just Filipinas. Filipinas are of course different from
each other, each one has her own idea of a perfect husband. Each one have her
own checklist of what she wants her husband to be, but more often that not the
mentioned characteristics would be included one way or another.
The ideal husband concept actually changes through time. Filipina women
are in constant search for the ideal husband, he may be close at hand or far,
but one thing for sure love will definitely find its way. |
