admin There is quite a considerable list of reasons why Russian brides are so popular among Western men. They are beautiful, educated, caring, forgiving, passionate, and much more. However, we should not forget that Russian ladies looking for marriage in the West do not come from some assembly line looking and behaving in an identical way: they can be blond or brunette, skinny or not so much, some of them live in villages, while others cannot imagine their lives without action-packed big-city life.
Even though we can find some adjectives that apply to the majority of them, it cannot be denied that there are a lot of exceptions to the rule. It makes us wonder: is there something that all Russian ladies for marriage have in common? They all come from former Soviet countries, they all marry foreigners, they all start a new life in a new country, which leads us to the observation that all Russian brides who decide to tie a knot with a man from a different country are definitely brave. Just imagine yourself in her shoes for a second. Would it be easy for you to move to Russia, live among people with a different mentality, speak a foreign language, get a job, find new friends and so on? Of course, personal perception of such situations varies from person to person, but I don’t think anyone would dare say that experiencing all that would be easy as pie.
To put it simply, it is very hard to go through all the problems and possible obstacles that might be in the way of Russian ladies looking for marriage abroad. However, this shows some of the great Russian qualities – never complain and follow your lucky star. This is exactly what helps a Russian woman take a risk so many times: when registering with online dating services, when meeting a man for the first time, and when deciding to live happily ever after with the man of her dreams, even if he is so far away from where all her friends and loved ones are. We think it is vital for Western men married to one of these brave ladies or who keep looking for their soul mates among them not to forget what brides from Russia had to do to be with them.
Some of the major things to remember include:
– leaving their homeland, their relatives and friends;
– learning a new language (though it could have been done prior to the marriage, it still requires effort);
– starting life from scratch, i.e. finding friends, getting a new job or going back to school;
– dealing with constant homesickness and trying not to be too obvious about it, so her husband doesn’t think she’s blaming him.
The list of things Russian ladies need to deal with can be very long and vary depending on the situation, but there are numerous things that their husbands can do to make the transition period and further life of these ladies easier and happier.
First of all, try to be there for her all the time, make her understand that whatever happens you are always there to help. When she’s feeling down, don’t let her sit at home by herself too much. Keep thinking of things that can distract her from such moods. Ladies in general are very gentle and need to be taken care of no matter how brave they are, so you need to show her that though there are lots of things that she may miss about her former life, living with you at this precise moment has many more advantages than she thinks.
