Common Mistakes While Looking for a Russian Wife

If you are a single Western or American man looking for your future wife on different dating websites, you might have been surprised at the abundance of online resources introducing you to the beautiful Russian and Slavic women. We will not discuss the issue of their popularity in this article though, and will concentrate on the most common mistakes made by single men looking for Russian wives.

· Not Sure about your Intentions

Online communications with Russian ladies can be real fun, but it is not playing around that they expect from you. When a Russian woman registers with a reliable international marriage agency, she is seriously determined to find a committed partner and husband, not just a pen friend. She is looking for loving and fulfilling family relationships. Are you sure your intentions are that serious? Ask yourself this question before you go for it, because it is a challenge. Remember that the decision to marry her implies going to Russia, learning about the new culture and language, meeting different people, both good and bad, spending your money, being prepared to non-trivial situations, etc. If you doubt that all of it is worth it, you'd better stay where you are.

· Wrong Choice of Dating Websites

Be very careful with the sites you register at. When your intentions are serious and you are looking for a lady with marriage in mind, avoid fishy dating sites that can be flooded with scammers. Also, think twice before placing a picture of yours in a men's catalogue where you where nothing but bathing trunks. A smart Russian lady looking for a serious relationship will not swallow the bait. Choose reliable agencies which services can be trusted.

· Believing that Your Life won't Change after Getting Married

When you finally take your wife home with you, the adaptation period is going to take a lot of time and effort from both of you. It is going to be harder for her though, because it is she who will have to adapt to the new environment, not you. Be with her during this period and help her learn more about your country, family, friends, job opportunities, etc. Be understanding and loving, and it will work out for you.
