Lot of really good advice here and i have never know anyone want to be rude about someone who is asking for help on here.
What you get on here is peoples true feelings and views and they are only said to help.
Both of you need to do some research on one anothers cultures as others have said.
When i first met my Wife i had very little knowledge on the phil and its people. So i read the internet found new and old books on the country and we did the same for my Wife.
Good luck on your relationship but both of you need to take care and make sure the relationship is what you really want.
