| People overseas very often ask the question why Russian females hunt for soul mates outside the homeland.
First, the present demographic situation in Russia is very urgent. Women greatly outnumber males, especially females over 30. Thus, 30-year-olds are unlikely to get married in the fatherland. If a woman has children, she is also unlikely to put on a wedding dress. Second, there is a high percentage of alcohol addicts among Russian men. Alcohol addiction does not only totally destroy males' health but also their families. Third, due to the altering economic situation in the country the majority of Russian females take up jobs, normally on a full-time basis, to supplement their husbands' income or sometimes to earn a living to support the physical needs of their families as the only breadwinner. Nevertheless, after a tiring working day they have a lot of duties to perform at home, such as to take care of kids and husband and keep house. Rare are cases when Russian men are able to earn enough, so that their wives can stay at home. Russian men normally spend time with friends, chase after other women, drink and do not help about the house.
Women who lack confidence, put up with the unaccepted behaviour of their husbands, others sue for divorce.
Thus, desperate Russian women leave the fatherland in search of stable, secure life overseas. Educated women speaking a foreign language, preferably English, find it easier to strike up relationships with overseas men, because they overcome cultural and language barriers and get accustomed to a new life-style quicker. Their ability to make a career and perform household responsibilities simultaneously makes them perfect partners for foreign men.
A large number of Russian women suppose that foreign men make better life partners, since they are more liberated, family-oriented than Russian males, as well as will help about the house. They believe that they will have a stable financially secure marriage with foreign males. A significant number of Russian women also think that in the West they will have more chances to make a career and can provide a happier childhood for their kids than in the motherland.
There are numerous examples of happy marriages with Russian girls. If the marriage is grounded on reciprocal trust, respect, understanding and love, ethnic differences will not be an obstacle to create a happy stable union. |
