Our Story, Val and EMS

Our
Love Story

The most important and wonderful part of our life which is the Love Story

Between Me and EMS (My wife ),

so I want to take this 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 interested 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 frustrating and unfulfilling, although I had a lot of fun meeting some very nice people and am still friends with a few.

I was still searching when a friend suggested that I talk to women from the Philippines. The thought had never occurred 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 when I met Ems.

Happiness

Fullfillment

At the start, our relationship was professional, but quickly became personal. In fact, we soon became fast friends and spent much time commiserating over the poor way our partners were treating us. Eventually, I broke up with my fiancé and told Ems that I would wait for her to get tired of how 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 were usually joined on our trips by her sister, the third Musketeer, so to speak. We became engaged, she came to the USA on a fiancé 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, enjoy doing everything together, and make a very good professional team as well.

Moments of love

Philippines Pride

We have adopted three girls in the Philippines, have three more who are fostered, 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 influencer work on YouTube and other platforms. I have a technical background and business connections all over the world. My eccentric background investigating government corruption, biology, and building research labs, project management, and business consulting gives me a unique base of experience from which to create novels.

Thanks for reading, CHEERS!
