A multitude of men have opted to go and search for their love abroad. Daily I speak to men that find happiness in marrying a Lithuanian Wife. Finding your Russian Wife can be difficult, but rewarding indeed. Russian Women have lots to offer to the men that desired traditional values.
Why Marry a Russian or Ukrainian Woman?
Many unmarried men from all over the world venture into the unknown world of Russia, the Ukraine and other East Block countries to find their Russian love or Ukrainian love. Many of these women still have the traditional notion of success for them to be defined by having a loving family and a loving man. Over the years this has become harder and harder to find in the West, as woman in the West has taken on their corporate roles and deviated from the traditional values that so many men... still today... desire in their wives, but find it difficult to find in their own countries.
This is not all. Ladies from former USSR love to take of themselves, their children and their family. I can say this from personal experience that I see in my wife, how she puts hours of effort into taking care of herself, just as she does for taking care of our child. But most importantly, she loves doing it! There is a union when East meets West in a marriage. Men from the West knows how to provide of a family and they love playing the role that a man can play in the traditional sense of a man... while Ukrainian brides, seamlessly blend into the role of supporting her man while taking care of the family with her tenderness and loving heart.
Another reason many men seek out to marry a wife from the Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Latvia or other East Block countries, are the magnitude commitment men get from Russian women. Once you meet a Russian lady and you have mutually confirmed your love for each other, you will have no worries about weather she is "with you" or not. There is an huge level of commitment that you WILL feel with them, something so unique. Same as regular long distance relationships, International Relationships lend themselves to similar difficulties initially, but because you two will find a very deep and exotic love in each other, you will commit to do whatever it takes to "be together". This creates a very intimate commitment that expands love to a new level. Because you will have to go through an immigration process in order to get her a visa prior to her joining you in your country, this will make things extra difficult... but also extra intimate and this by itself is an expression of the unique and powerful commitment Russian women and Ukrainian wives have.
Places to Find your Love
Before the internet men all over the world have corresponded by postal mail with their Russian fiancé’s abroad. Currently the internet has made this so much faster. As you will go through the process of finding your Ukrainian or Russian bride abroad, you will browse the internet and be inundated with thousands of ladies and hundreds of different services. Some services charge around $3000-$6000 for what is referred to as a "Romance Tour". I suggest to all my clients to stay clear from these "romance traps". These services normally will introduce you to hundreds of women in a night club setting and you can forget about any personal attention to what "you" want to see in your wife. In addition most of these services will introduce you to women in "big cities", which from my experience is not the best choice, but we will discuss this in the next section.
There is no way around it. Meeting your Russian Love or Ukrainian Love will probably materialize by using a dating club, or as they are known in the Russian world, "Marriage Agency". These services will offer translations services for your email to your girl and they will translate her reply for you from Russian to English again. Although this is a wonderful service, I have to reiterate that the "big" introduction agencies overcharge for this service. Be very aware of this. Most of my clients are very happy with my proposal to use smaller agencies in smaller cities, since they will tailor services towards what you need, thus only paying for what you use... as well as their fees are much more reasonable.
Small City vs. Big City
Another aspect I encourage my clients to consider is wife from the city? One of my customers values the intellectual mind of his wife very much. Since his whole family has been in the medical profession and he is also, this simply was very important to him. He wanted a wife that had a Masters Degree in something concrete. So, he ended up marrying a lady from a "big city" with 2 Masters Degrees. They love each others stimulating conversations.
Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Uzbekistan – Does it Matter?
The former USSR states has been divided into 15 independent countries. Of these I really suggest only two countries to my clients: The Ukraine and Latvia. Please note, I do not discourage other countries. Of cause this should not stop you from looking at others countries if you so choose, but both the Ukraine and Latvia has made great progress in their democratic development as well as their vision to join the European Union. My favorite is the Ukraine, maybe because my wife is from there, but also because it is possible to walk into the Ukraine with your blue American passport without a visa. In order for an American to enter Russia you will need a $200 visa every single time you go and visit your fiancé. You will also see that there is a huge single female population in the Ukraine... larger than in Russia.
Additionally, Russia has talks about annulling the Russian Citizenship of Russian wives who marry foreigners. Russia has picked up on their crem-della-crem marrying men from abroad and want to take a stand against this. But then again, this might not be important to you.
Immigration
As I mentioned earlier, you will experience a new level of commitment from the women you meet in the East – there is no doubt about this! If you have a "long distance relationship" with a woman in your same country, it is challenging, but it is extra complicated for those who have to experience the process of immigration before they can be together. Your love will grow so much stronger over the months, but there will always be a small part of you that will be uncertain: "What if we do not get her a visa?". This can be very challenging times, but finding the best legal help OR doing it yourself with 1000% dedication to detail can ensure success in this realm.
Men will be expected to gather many documents for your fiancé. You will be expected to make copies of your personal letters, phone records, your bank statements, etc... just to mention a few. The immigration process is not for the fainthearted, but it will pay back in a life long adventurous journey with your Ukrainian or Russian love.
Stigma
To society there exist a stigma about marrying a Eastern women. A stigma about the false phrase "mail order bride". This concept has been created by the press and is so very old. The fact of the matter is that the concept of "mail order bride" does not exist. Once you go through the immigration process you will learn how this is NOT "anything mail order". Firstly immigration involve that you have at least physically met once before applying for her visa. There is nothing instant about this kind of love.
Often my clients are faced resistance from their people close to them because they simply do not understand the courage it takes to go and find your love abroad. In addition it is honest ignorance from their family and friends who does not understand what it takes to marry a foreign national. YOU STILL NEED TO BE IN LOVE AND LOVE MUTUALLY. There is no way around this. To all my clients I emphasize this over and over and over. It must "feel" right".
Some men make the mistake to believe that the "love will grow". If you are not in love when you meet, it is very unlikely it will grow in the future. There are some aspects of finding your love abroad that is exactly the same as dating a local woman and being in love is imperative.
In Closing
Finding your soul mate in the same city as you is difficult. Finding your love abroad, can make certain things much easier, but it introduces other aspects of challenge to the game. Having said that, the happiness can me blissful and ecstatic. A happiness we all deserve.
