My only regret...

Since women in general live longer than men, if the age difference for a Fil/Am couple is greater than 20 years, that could mean your wife will outlive you by a quarter of century or more. I think it's a good idea to plan ahead for the future, like should she remarry? Estimate how many qualities years you have left together and what will need to be done when you need geriatric care. If you are relatively healthy (don't smoke, don't drink, exercise, eat right and are not overweight), you can significantly extend your quality years together. So I'd say having a younger Filipina as a wife should be an incentive to change life choices. Think of it as a small sacrifice for a worthy investment - quality time together.
