The joy of being married to a latina

I really enjoy hearing the positive stories of being married to a colombian on this site. Sometimes the negative people bring down the mood...with my impending nuptials I would really like to hear more of the happy stories. Yes, maybe it's a little corny, but sometimes it's always good to reconnect to reality and not just those who may have been rubbed wrongly. So, please share....

I always tell people about the pleasure I've experienced with my 1960 model Colombiana Stepford Wife. Sure she's 45 years old but she's a beauty and she's low mileage with only one previous owner who did not drive her much before he died. The later models seem to have more problems so I am not sure that the workmanship is still there. If a guy can pick up one of these babies, I tell him to go for it. She drives like a dream and no, she's not for sale.

My Wife She is the most wonderful, kind, loving, gentle, strong, fun-loving, tender, romantic, sensitive, adoring and beautiful person that I have even known. We are newlyweds, married for less than a month now, but our friendship and love is beyond words. For the cynics in the audience, yes I have been married before (for 13 years), I am 52 years old, I've seen good and bad in this world but I have never been as happy and content as I am when I am by her side holding her hand. I can only imagine the rest our lives together, but I am certain they will be filled with love, romance, wonder, tenderness and laughter.

Best of Luck to you ... Never Look Back.

No, Morphus, you never want one that's never been driven especially after all that time on blocks in the garage. She may not even run. I've got mine finely tuned and she purrs like a kitty on the open road.

The repartee with Kat and Colombiche is just nonsense, Morphus, meant for amusement. You have to learn to separate reality from this stuff. This PBSH stuff isn't real. My Colombiana Stepford Wife, now she's realer than real.

I never knew you cared, mi vida.

Note to those who have difficulty separating fiction from reality: both Colombiche's post above and my response are just playing.

Love In Colombia All I can say is that Love in colombia is really beautiful. Whenever i go to medellin i fall in love, either with someone, the people, or the place. My sister is married to a Chilean. He always repeats how lucky he is to have a colombian wife. I wonder if its possible to find the "perfect" colombian husband?

Love to All

I'm in love with a Colombian girl! I just met this Colombian girl a month ago in Panama and I really fell in love with her. I was wondering what could be better, for me to move to Colombia, or for her to come here to Puerto Rico. I'm an engineer but I really don't know how are the job opportunities in Colombia.

I can't really say that being married to a Latina - any or the majority of Latinas - is a guaranteed joy. I really dislike stating that being married to a Latina (colombiana) is the surest path to marital bliss... just as I don't buy the argument that American women are bitches as is frequently portrayed. After all, my 4 sisters and my mum are Americans, and they certainly fall far short of being considered this way. When it gets down to it, people are people the world over. I have met wonderful women in the US and Europe, just as I have met the converse abroad - including Latin America.

There are the cultural differences... In short and that which sets her apart from anyone I've known, my wife is willing to sublimate her own desires and wishes in deference to mine, all the while subtely masking them in order to reduce conflicts and keep the peace - at least as she sees it. And since I never made such demands, this in itself can be frustrating, especially having been raised in a home surrounded by only women where the work was divided equally, all aspired to careers as equally as they dreamt of marriage and children, and all spoke their minds. Perhaps I'm in the minority(???) but I really don't like having it all my way while running roughshod over my wife's desires. To drag her actual desires out of her, needs even, is a an incredible effort at times.

I believe my wife's qualities are a mix that is unique to my wife's personality with cultural upbringing thrown in - and certainly not something that is genetically ingrained from birth. In fact the longer we have been together, the more she has learned to give voice to what she wants and to act accordingly: not cooking or cleaning if she's tired (though she still has immense guilt when I choose to do these things, but in truth I'm the better cook with all meals not colombian), not taking my advice in business matters, caring for our daughter and not hiring a niñera when she is not there (Ridiculous! For me old business after 4 kids from my first marriage), etc, etc. For me, I wouldn't consider myself to be a true partner and dad if I did not participate in these things.

Yes, she is the most caring, sweet, understanding, loving, passionate, tender, empathetic, and considerate woman I have ever known. However the way that I look at it, rather than marrying a colombiana who is naturally all of these (there are more than enough stories here to counter this perception), I married a woman with all of these qualities who happens to be a colombiana.

And on top of this, she would much rather prefer to live in Colombia than come to the US.
