Would You Consider This a Good Marriage?

[jcindaville]

When is ENOUGH is ENOUGH with this??

If you are 'well off financially' then may I suggest you go out and buy some friends

or

maybe some Alzheimer's medication because you cant seem to remember what the hell is going on with the other 4 or 5 threads you have started in which you have fueled a growing fan club that is not fond of you

[jcindaville]

Savage, of course she married you because you have money. I mean she lived in a shit hole country and probably didnt have two wooden nickels to rub together. Women 25 years younger dont marry guys like you for your looks or your personality.

They marry you because you are financially stable(like you like to let us all know) and your safe. So the answer to your own question is this, if your good with that, who gives a shit what we think.

For the poll to be fair and meaningul(at keast to me), it should be limited to include only those who spent as much time as I did putting the intense work I did in order to find their true love.

I think most peole did put in their intense work. Here in America it's called "dating" Your 4 months of "intense work" would probably be the same as 10 dates. Out of that 4 whole months of intense work, how long did you actually focus on the woman who is now your wife?

[jcindaville]

Why is it that everytime someone posts their thoughts/perspectives on this 'they are always missing the point' according to you??

Why dont you give all of us the answer you are looking for and we will guess the question ala The Great Carnac and Ed McMahon and save us the trouble of deciphering your 60 page codes that only mutes and Indian tribesmen can solve

this dude is cracking me up, you are fucking hilarious

And for the record, I have a buddy who married a Guadalupian for 3k and 150 a month for 2 years. He's never banged her, never even stayed the night with her, he lives in Cali she lives in New York...

You've got it all wrong Savage, you're suppossed to be getting paid for this. You're the one doing the favor, although the more you say the more I'm thinking it's the other way around..

Hey that sounds like a good gig, get me the number so i can set myself up on that deal

Phil-in answer to your question, I focused on my wife for a week.
We knew what we wanted in a relationship, saw it in each other and the rest of the story in history.
A lot of dating in the US(not all) from my perspective involves a lot of wasted time(from my perspective) because it doesn't involve talking abou the what is considered important in life.
Sites like EHarmony try to do this, and I give them credit for this.
The point is that in Colombia and in many other Latin countries the dating process is more simple because many of these women haven't been corrupted as are many American women(again not all) with materialistic values;lets break this down and make some assumptions:a man knows what he wants(in this case me) and spends quality time with a woman such as I did for a week or so in Colombia; she is on the same wave length as is the man(me), about what they(we) consider important in life and matrimony;, in actuality it doesn't/didn't take that much time to decide that they(me and my wife to be)decide to get married.
Remember I am 65 years old, have been around the block a few times and my wife although she is a 25 years younger than I am, thinks differently than do many women in the US both because of her culture and values instilled in her by her religion.
The bottom line is that the marriage is a very good one(we have disagreements from tiem to time like any other couples do), but we ALWAYS do have the the greatest respect and love for each other and we expect to be together "Until death do us part."
Hope that helps.

Spend some time reading about Latin culures, how the women perceive marriage, the success rate of men who marry women from foreign countries as opposed to American men who married American married womemn(50% divorce rate) and a zillion other things.

Savage show me where you are seeing that marriage rates to foreign women have a higher success rate than to American women. I would LOVE to see that, because in fact I don't think that is true at all. Please show me where you are seeing these numbers.

Answer the question tough guy. You say you're the man with the facts, well show them to me. Where in god's name do you see that men marrying foreign women have a higher success rate than men marrying American women.

I DON"T WANT AN ESSAY. I want a simple link to a simple website where I can find this.

Provide me with it, or is it, like everything else you've said a load of crap.

I don't have the website;the folks at Foreign Affair provided me with the stats. to show this. You do the research and tell us if you are curious.
Me intense efforts led me to find a great wife; at this point all I care about is that with all of the intense effort I put into this venture, I found a wonderful wife.
I couldn't care less how much lower the divorce rate between American men who marry Colombian women in comparsion to American men who marry American women;it is less thats for sure.
Lets put it this way- the chance of divorce between American men who don't put in the effort and time I did in trying to find a Colombian wife would be higher than it would be for me(but still less than it would be in marrying an American woman).
I am proud of what I did-the results show it-more American men who can't find the woman of their dreams should try it instead of just questioning it;I speak from personal experience.
Sorry if that sounds like an essay or is too long for you;I collect my thoughts before I express them and thank God for giving me ability to do so.

ps Mavs-you agreed with what Rob Morini said last night about closing the thread.
Take a look at what Rob wrote in the "I'm going on a Romance Tour" last night and see if you agree with that also.
I'm out for a while.

Phil-in answer to your question, I focused on my wife for a week.

Were you on a hunting trip sitting in a tree stand??

We knew what we wanted in a relationship, saw it in each other and the rest of the story in history.

Wow, in a whole week both of you came to this conclusion??

A lot of dating in the US(not all) from my perspective involves a lot of wasted time(from my perspective) because it doesn't involve talking abou the what is considered important in life.

Yet it took you four months of intensive 'research' to hunt down your bride??

Sites like EHarmony try to do this, and I give them credit for this.

The point is that in Colombia and in many other Latin countries the dating process is more simple because many of these women haven't been corrupted as are many American women(again not all) with materialistic values;

Lets try to figure this one out? A woman who has lived in a paper mache hut, with a nil of monetary stability WOULD NEVER get materialistic when a man from the states comes swooping in on a vine to snatch her up?? Obviously it only took you both a week to figure this out and that it wasnt your money that had any influence on her.

lets break this down and make some assumptions:a man knows what he wants(in this case me) and spends quality time with a woman such as I did for a week or so in Colombia;

1 week to find that 'special' someone is quality time to me

she is on the same wave length as is the man(me), about what they(we) consider important in life and matrimony;,

I'm stuck in a hell hole of a country and this man wants to get me out, I think I will decline. NOT!!

in actuality it doesn't/didn't take that much time to decide that they(me and my wife to be)decide to get married.

see answer above


Remember I am 65 years old, have been around the block a few times and my wife although she is a 25 years younger than I am, thinks differently than do many women in the US both because of her culture and values instilled in her by her religion.

her thoughts about your age never came to mind when see realized her lottery numbers just came in the door

The bottom line is that the marriage is a very good one(we have disagreements from tiem to time like any other couples do), but we ALWAYS do have the the greatest respect and love for each other and we expect to be together "Until death do us part."

sounds like someones family will be moving on up to the eastside when that parting comes

Hope that helps.

Google Answers: Hard statistics on the divorce rate for American-Foreign Marriages?

[PhilJr]

Can I assume that you have a will and your new bride is in it?

[insidethe8thpol]

I don't have the website;the folks at Foreign Affair provided me with the stats. to show this. You do the research and tell us if you are curious.

you provided the 'stats', provide the answer

Me intense efforts led me to find a great wife; at this point all I care about is that with all of the intense effort I put into this venture, I found a wonderful wife.

Venture?? you make it sound like you were out in the Amazon jungle with a straw and some toilet paper hunting a herd of Buffalo

I couldn't care less how much lower the divorce rate between American men who marry Colombian women in comparsion to American men who marry American women;it is less thats for sure.

but you brought up the 50% divorce rate between Americans. Yet you ARE NOT CONCERNED about the divorce rate between an American and a Columbian/Latino ?? Now why would that be??

Lets put it this way- the chance of divorce between American men who don't put in the effort and time I did in trying to find a Colombian wife would be higher than it would be for me(but still less than it would be in marrying an American woman).

So as long as we put in the 'effort' & 'time', we can be just like you?? On our way to the healthiest marriage this earth has ever seen without a worry about divorce.

I am proud of what I did-the results show it-more American men who can't find the woman of their dreams should try it instead of just questioning it;

they do. They call it the Bunny Ranch

I speak from personal experience.
Sorry if that sounds like an essay or is too long for you;

It was, but I persevered with the help of self medication

I collect my thoughts before I express them and thank God for giving me ability to do so.

I here you there!! Thank god for all of the breweries that allow me to do so!!
