Why do suppose it has been this way for 47+ years? Because it was genuine "love" to begin with, and there was a definite "commitment" on both of our parts to MARRIAGE (God's Institution) FIRST, and each other SECOND. And whenever our love and devotion to each other may have "faltered" (and it has on a very few occasions), our COMMITMENT to God and to our marriage (God's Institution) has carried us through.
Praise the Lord for a marriage like that! amen.

I too am married to a Filipina lady, and I am Caucasian. Granted we have not been married for the great length of time you have Bro. George, but so far we are on par with the kind of marriage you describe, and it's a wonderful blessing. Having those priorities right is paramount, God 1st, each other 2nd. Thankfully we were both Christians when we met and our love for God together has only been increasing since that time.
