I am very happy to be taking this girl as my asawa with the knowledge she will make me happy

OP's life and money. Truly none of our business. Best of luck OP.

gbdermid i have nothing to say about your wife been 40 years younger then you, well done and good for you, we all have younger Wifes much younger then what we are, all I was saying is that I do not like someone to call me daddy if not my child, but if you comfortable with it then is up to you, but remember it is morally wrong.

Morally wrong? Who died and left you the moral police? Not be mean but, who are you to tell someone else what is or what is not moral in their own life? I don’t see a problem with it at all. If that’s what they are into, who are you or anyone else for that matter, to say it’s wrong. I call my GF baby. Does that mean I look at her as my child, of course not. Lots of people use “pet names” for their significant others. So what!!!

Yes, only so we don't get the wrong looks from some people, my 40 year old daughter and 25 year old granddaughter are ok with it , they think it's cute, her calling me daddy in public

I don’t even concern myself with what others think. When they start buying my food, paying my rent and paying my taxes then, I’ll pay attention. Until then, I’ll worry about my own life and they can do the same.
Sounds like you guys have a wonderful relationship. Congrats.

Who cares if she calls you Daddy in public?!?

In the Philippines, it's an accepted "word of endearment"  to older man with young woman as a partner or wife. Afterall, everyone knows you are her clan's provider, feeder, financial source of income.

Every barangay nearby, knows that you are the new "SUGAR DADDY" in town.

It is culturally acceptable to have an oldman, taking the role of the father of the young girl's whole family. In exchange of what gratification a young girl can give to you. The family may even ask you to buy a property, to insure you have something valuable to leave the young girl as your relationship turns sour oneday... So it's a win situation in exchange of some fun in bed!!! 😊

It's not uncommon among Filipino couples to call each other "Daddy" or "Papa" or "Mommy" or "Mama". My parents call each other "Daddy" and "Mama" all the time in the company of other people, even when my siblings and I are not there.

Here in the Philippines, relationships between young Filipino women and much older foreigner gentlemen are more common than those who have a small age difference between them. At one time, I went to the mall with my husband, kids, and the kids' nanny. One salesperson asked me if I were my husband's mother-in-law. LOL. I look younger than my husband, though I am a bit older than he is. But still, the salesperson assumed our 20-year-old nanny was my husband's wife.

Grandmother gave us property as wedding present to build house on, in exchange for us helping to manage the family farm and other properties

How bout "Grampa"?

There is some great council given and some that is probably not warranted. Definitely do not be in a rush. Living here and getting to know so one is much better than just dating thru internet. You really really get to know the person.

Waiting, looking, examining taking your time is wise. Especially in regards to marriage.

Four years on and everything has fallen eerily silent from the OP as is so often the case on this site.
If Wadja's excellent advice was taken on board by all prospective starry eyed first timers to these islands just think of the hit to the Philippines GDP..

Same with me, went to Landers with my wife & daughter-in-law. People thought my daughter-in-law was my wife and my wife was my mother-in-law.

Wayne gives GOOD advice! Haste makes waste!
