Are Russian Wives Submissive?

Question: I heard that Russian wives are submissive. Is this true?

No, Russian wives are not submissive. The myth is widespread most likely because Russian women are not into feminism and because they prefer the traditional family model. Russian wives usually don’t have a problem with the man being the head of the household; making more money and having a better career.

Russian women are very family-oriented and they find great happiness in raising children and taking care of their home. Russian wives work and many of them have good careers, but if they had to choose between career and family, 99% of them would choose family.

In Russian culture being a successful woman means having a good husband and at least one child. A woman without husband and children is “incomplete”.

Russian women don’t have a problem admitting that their men are stronger and better in certain things. They don’t try to prove that they are the same, because they know that they are not. But they also know what they are worth. They value their femininity, beauty, tenderness, ability to bear and nurse children and many other qualities. Russian women don’t want to be the same as men. They like their men to take care of them, to provide for her and their family and to admire her. In return they respect and love their man and appreciate everything they do for them.

So don’t be fooled that Russian women will be happy to be your slave and listen to everything you say. She will not. Many Russian women are intelligent (just look at the degrees they have when you look at their profiles) and are not afraid to express their opinion. However, if you love and respect her, she will be the most dedicated wife and will do everything to make you happy.

    Yeah this is the most ridiculous stereotype I’ ve ever heard (the one that Russian ladies are submissive). Some people think that Russian culture is very similar to Middle Eastern.
