What does marrying a Foreigner Mean to Russian Women?
The majority of Russian ladies coming to the United States as brides and
wives are intelligent women with good careers left behind in Russia. When they
marry an American, they have to leave all what they had known in their home
country: their relatives, acquaintances and cultural roots for the sake of the
newly created union of two people.
The woman’s decision to follow her future husband to his country is very
serious indeed. Her fiancé is the only friend she has in that country. She
thinks he is the only person she can rely on, although she might not know him
very well. It is ok for Russians to be dependable on their environment, by the
way, which is just another reason for women’s full trust in their future
husbands as their sole providers and protectors.
The greatest fear of a Russian bride moving to another country is that the
man she depends on would be gone and she would have to return to Russia and
start everything from scratch. Neither would she like to stay in an unknown
country without any support.
Marriage is a value to a Russian woman. It is not in her plans to get rid of
you once she has got her green card. And if she is unhappy in her marriage, she
would not stay with you for the reason of higher living standards in your
country. Country has nothing to do with it. Intimate relationship between two of
you are of the greatest priority for her. You mean the world for her.
