| People overseas very often ask the question why Russian girls hunt for boy-friends far from home.
First and foremost, the current demographic situation in Russia leaves a lot to be desired. Females significantly outnumber males, particularly females over 30. So, 30-year-olds are unlikely to encounter a spouse in the fatherland. If a lady has children, she is also unlikely to put on a wedding dress. Second, there are a lot of alcohol addicts among Russian men. Drunkenness does not only totally destroy men's physical well-being but also their families. Third, due to the constantly changing economic situation in the country the majority of Russian females take up jobs, commonly on a full-time basis, to supplement their husbands' income or very frequently to provide for their families as the only breadwinner. Nevertheless, after an exhausting workday they have a lot of duties to perform at home, such as bringing up children and keeping house. Rare are cases when Russian males can earn enough, so that their wives could stay at home. Russian men normally spend time with friends, chase after other females, drink and do not help about the house.
Those who lack confidence, put up with the unaccepted behavior of their husbands, others break up with their partners.
Thus, desperate Russian ladies leave the motherland in search of stable, secure life with foreigners. Educated girls speaking a foreign language, preferably English, find it easier to start up up relationships with overseas males, as they overcome ethnic and language differences and get used to a new way of life quicker. Their ability to make a career and perform household chores simultaneously makes them wonderful wives for overseas men.
A lot of Russian females assume that foreign men make better husbands, as they are more liberated, family-oriented than Russian males, and will pitch in with the household chores. They assume that they will have a stable economically secure family with foreign men. A significant number of Russian women also think that overseas they will have more opportunities for self-realization and can provide a better childhood for their kids than in the mother country.
There are numerous examples of happy international marriages with Russian girls. If the marriage is grounded on reciprocal trust, respect, understanding and love, cultural differences will not be an obstacle to create a stable happy union. |
