Good-morning/afternoon/night everyone, As my introduction post was all about ME and my books, I feel that the post is missing the most important and wonderful part which is the Love Story Between Me and EMS ( My wife ), so I want to take this post as an opportunity to introduce her to you, read this article to the end, I am sure you will like it,
Ems and I met in a Facebook group for people who had interests in marketing activities in Asia. I was doing some market development for a company, something I had done in The Philippines before. I was looking for people with that background and the moment I saw her profile photo I said to myself that I needed to know that beautiful woman.
The back story was that after several years of being single, I decided that I wanted to get married. I love being part of building something and I wanted to
find someone to share that with. Despite my social nature, I spent one year not dating and devoted my time to working and creating a detailed specification of
my future life and the woman I wanted to spend it with. I then joined eight different dating sites, created a search profile, and connected with approximately one thousand women. I eventually reduced that number to about two
hundred and fifty profiles, and dated about twenty of them. I found the experience to be frustrating and unfulfilling, although I did have a lot of fun
meeting some very nice people.
I was still searching when I friend suggested that I talk to women from the Philippines. The thought had never occured to me, but when I thought about it I
realized that over the years I had known quite a number of men who married Filipinas. Without dragging people through the whole story, I eventually
connected with five or six women from that country, visited one of them, and was engaged at the time I met Ems.
At the start, our relationship was professional but quickly became personal, in fact we soon became fast friends and spent a lot of time comisserating over
the poor way our partners were treating us. Eventually, I broke up with my fiance and told Ems that I was going to wait for her to get tired of the way
her boyfriend was treating her. Four months later, she told me to buy a ticket and come meet her family.
That was nearly six years ago. We had a wonderful time traveling together and usually were joined on our trips by her sister, the third Musketeer, so to
speak. We became engaged, she came to the USA on a fiance visa, and we were married in 2019. I realize that many people don't 'get' our relationship; there
is a huge age gap, but to us we never see it. We are remarkably well suited, we enjoy doing everything together, and make a very good professional team as well.
We have adopted three girls in the Philippines, and have many other kids that we support around the world. Specific to our writing/publishing/marketing team, she is an excellent social media professional and has done a lot of fashion influence work on YouTube and other platforms. I have a technical background and business connections all over the world. My excentric background investigating government corruption, biology and building research labs, project management, and business consulting, gives me a unique base of experience from with to create novels.
Thanks for Reading, CHEERS!
What an interesting story of how you found your wife! Many people say, "Age is just a number," and if one is young-at-heart, then age differences are something which can be ignored. My husband (RIP) was ten years my senior, and we had plenty in-common. Thanks for sharing a bit of personal info, as well as pics of you and your sweetie together! You make a lovely couple, and I hope EMS will share some things on Hive about herself, too. 😊
EMS REPLIED:
Yes, age is just a number, we are all going to get older anyway, but the thing is, having a mature, loving, experienced, kind, and understanding husband is a pretty good deal!
Not much fight or arguments, not much jealousy, controlling, or being self-centered. It's good to find a stable man to be with and being so open minded is a greatest thing as well, you may not agree all the time but you respect each other's opinions and thoughts, it's good to have a husband that is like a best friend, brother, partner and do a good team work, in life it's not just about the same age, it's about how you take care and respect each other too, we have alot of similarities and it's good that we do, it helps to the relationship to have a similarities
Oh, this is beautiful. I am glad you guys later got to be together. Age is just what humans brought up. You guys look amazing together and I wish you two the very best in whatever you do. Welcome to Hive once more. And thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you very much for your wonderful comments, I can tell that you are very open-minded person, I just want you to know that what you've said is all true! We are great in our marriage, we are good partner, bestfriend, we do good team work whatever we do, we are blessed 🙌 😇 God bless to you too.
Thanks for your kind words. And that's all that marriage should entail. Love, happiness, care, and more.
You are indeed blessed. Amen.
