Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner

But these gals are gentle and accmmodating to their husbands, treat husbands well (majority), satisfy husband's physical needs, give husband face in public, give birth to children. If both husband and wife are sensible enough, these qualities will lead to happy family.

Singapore gals are more highly educated and are financially independent. They may be earning more than the husband. A family with double income will lead better life. Family members do not give much burden. No cultural differences as grew up in same country.

But Singapore gals are not so accmmodating to their husbands, don't treat husbands as well as vietnamese gals, husband's physical needs are often neglected, don't give husband face in public as they believe they are more equal than their husbands, most choose not to give birth to children as they spend a lot of their time building their career.

So it depends on what you want in a spouse. Both parties are strong in their own areas and weak in some.

Well said, fully agree
. Go for whatever U feel comfortable and can accept.

Singapore - 40 years ago - like Vietnam - big families; poor in-laws also expect same. Now different, most families stopped at 2 - also more affluent. It takes a great man to make his wife (no matter from where) happy - problem areas different. Cheers.
