    Marriage in intself, is hard enough. And it needs a lot of work from both the husband and the wife. Generally it might be harder because of the difference in culture but i guess it all depends on how far both of you are willing to compromise and understand each other's differences individually as well as culturally, to make the marriage work.
    I just got here last week, so i'm still trying to adapt how everything is done here. My husband was teasing me the other day, he told me "you can take the filipina out of the philippines but u cannot take the philippines out of the filipina". We just both laughed about it as i know my husband is giving me more time to adjust to the way of life here. At thesame time, on my end, i am also trying to learn to do everything around here the british way and try to keep up fast And so far, i'm having a blast! U just need to be more flexible and open-minded to new things that come your way.
    And most importantly, be happy and decide to be happy no matter what the circumstances are - good or bad. Its all on the attitude. We cannot control bad things from happening but we can control how are we gonna react to it. So its always best to deal with it positively and with the right attitude.

    I think its too early for me to say Well I will try based on my exp now. Indeed, its really hard both must work it out to flourish everything in the relationship. Esp having a baby and more to come Lots lots and lots of struggle. Selfgiving, understanding and so on ... As my husband always says we will cross that bridge when we get there
    LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
