| Some people overseas very often ask the question why Russian girls hunt for husbands far from home.
First, the current demographic situation in Russia is very acute. Females considerably outnumber males, especially females over thirty. Therefore, 30-year-olds are unlikely to meet a potential spouse in the fatherland. If a woman has kids, she is also unlikely to put on a wedding dress. Second, there are a lot of Russian men addicted to alcohol. Alcohol addiction does not only totally destroy men's health but also their families. Third, due to the unsteady economic situation in the country most Russian females are employed, usually on a full-time basis, to supplement their husbands' income or very frequently to provide for their families as the only breadwinner. However, after a hard working day they have a lot of chores to perform at home, such as taking care of kids and spouse and keeping house. Infrequent are cases when Russian husbands are able to earn enough, so that their wives could stay at home. Russian men usually spend time with friends, chase after other females, drink and do not help about the house.
Women who lack confidence, put up with the terrible behaviour of their husbands, others break off the relationships.
Hence, desperate Russian females leave the fatherland in search of stable, secure life overseas. Educated females speaking a foreign language, preferably English, find it much easier to establish relationships with overseas males, for they overcome cultural and language differences and adapt to a new life-style quicker. Their ability to combine a career with household responsibilities makes them wonderful wives for foreign men.
Many Russian females believe that foreign men make better life partners, because they are more liberated, family-oriented in comparison with Russian men, as well as will help with the household chores. They think that they will have a stable financially secure family with foreign males. A lot of Russian women also reckon that abroad they will have more opportunities for self-realization and can provide a better childhood for their children than in the homeland.
There are numerous examples of happy international marriages with Russian ladies. If the family is founded on mutual trust, respect, understanding and affection, ethnic differences will not be a hindrance to create a happy stable family. |
