Russian women in the United States: Fish out of water?
Russian women seeking love, romance, and marriage in the West are not… we repeat… not… exotic, unsophisticated, wide-eyed creatures. The myths about Russian women and their life experiences compared to Western women are, to put it mildly, based on misinformation. On the other hand, just because Russian women are not ‘exotic, unsophisticated, wide-eyed creatures’ doesn’t mean that they aren’t different… in a good way… from their Western counterparts.
The Russian and Ukrainian women you will meet through this website are the best of the best. They are beautiful, smart, educated, loving women who truly want to find a life-partner. Let’s face it, finding your dream man or woman is no easy thing. It is incredibly difficult to meet single people, no matter where you live.
Still, the women you meet through this website are special and stand out because they are the best of the best. They are unique in that their quest for happiness, their search for that special someone, has lead them to take an extraordinary chance. Despite those negative myths we’re all too familiar with, it’s wrong to think that all women in Eastern Europe are desperate to leave their home countries for America. It’s simply not true. In fact, most of the women who become the wives of American men spend time thinking about the serious implications of a move abroad. It’s no easy decision to leave behind friends and family; life as you know it for world that is, on the outside at least, similar to your own but otherwise rife with differences. Women who leave behind their home country for love are particularly brave to take even the first step. If you are lucky enough to find one of these courageous women, you’ll quickly realize that Russian women make good wives. Families tend to be very close in Eastern Europe, very flexible, and good at adapting to new situations. They are typically very good at compromise.
Marriages between people who find each other online – and particularly between Russian or Ukrainian women and American or Western European men – are more likely to last than what we might call more regular marriages between people who, say, meet at college or through friends or family. The USCIS (formerly the INS) has described the success rate in international marriages as being is 80% after five years comparing with 50% of “normal” marriages. In other words, four international couples out of five are still married after five years while half of “normal” marriages end in divorce.
One of the reasons for the relatively and comparatively high success rate is that marriage between couples who have used dating agencies is established only after both partners have truly accepted very definite obligations towards each other. The significance of relocating and the obligation of the American husband to provide support for his wife to make the transition are well established. They are not obligations that can be undertaken lightly and they require the formation of a very conscious decision.
Beyond that, it is generally true that Russian women make good wives for American men There is no magic formula to ensure that a marriage remains happy from the start, but fidelity and devotion have always been a good combination.
