The Main Reason Russian Women Want to Get Married

The question as to why Russian women want to get married, especially at an early age (early twenties is quite common) pops up quite often. This is not surprising, because if you talk to college age American women you will rarely hear marriage or kids in their near-future plans. So what’s the deal with Russians?

Well, firstly many Western men (and women) often mention that Russians mature earlier. This might be due to their mentality, history and in some cases, life conditions. Even if you are wealthy in Russia, living over there is emotionally tougher. I guess you really need to go and spend some time there (not as a tourist) to understand this.

Secondly, most Russian women have traditional family values, so getting married and having children is their primary goal. A woman who is not married by a certain age is almost considered to be defective and everyone (neighbors and friends, and colleagues) feel sorry for her. The same goes if a woman is married, but childless. In Russian culture you will rarely see a woman who doesn’t want to have children. I remember reading an article about a man who wanted to marry a beautiful Russian girl who wasn’t interested in children. The guy was handsome and polite; additionally, he was making $300 K a year. And you know what? He decided to be honest from the beginning, so he told the girls he was corresponding with he was not interested in having children. And you know what? None of the girls he liked wanted a relationship with him.

If you really want to marry a Russian and feel strong about not having children, you might find a woman, but it is not going to be easy. Remember that Russian women adore children, so your selection is going to be very limited.

So don’t be mistaken that Russian women want to marry a foreigner to get out of Russia and have a better life. Usually it is not true. Russian women want to be women. They want to get married, to have children, to love and to be loved. If there were more males in Russia, most of them would probably stay there.
