Now that all the trouble is behind, and you are married to one of the beautiful and charming Ukrainian, Russian, or Belarus women, the time has come to get along well and learn to live together. Unfortunately, not the entire life of a couple is similar to a romantic dating period, when all emotions and feelings are sharp, and you both are in an elevated romantic mood, not noticing any problems or differences, and simply enjoying being together. A life together, as wise men say, is not a bed of roses, and you should be ready that in some cases, you may have problems and misunderstandings with your wife. Ukrainian women differ from Western women by culture and mentality, so at times, you will need to make extra effort to understand your wife. But don't fall into despair! We will help you with some pieces of advice of how to come to grips with Ukrainian women for marriage.
Respect Your Wife's Reluctance to Express Feelings in Public
Ukrainian women have a strong USSR upbringing, even those who are younger than 30 years old were raised by Soviet mothers, so they are humble in terms of public expression of feelings. As an old Soviet proverb says, "There was no sex in the USSR", which eloquently describes how all kinds of romantic and intimate relationships were a taboo. Obviously, people fell in love, got married, and had children, but public manifestations of passion and romance were frowned upon. Therefore, if you see that your wife is confused by your love expressions and public kissing - just give her time to overcome her stereotypes about impropriety of such behavior. Or just accept the fact that she is different, and reserve passionate and romantic moments for your private times alone.
Do Not Be Jealous Because Your Wife Dresses Up and Wears Makeup
All cute Russian girls and Ukrainian women are associated with a high-impact appearance and charming, distinguished style of dressing. Let's be honest - this may be one of the strong reasons for which you started looking for a wife in that part of the world. You liked her because she was impressive and beautiful, in those charming dresses, high heels, and unmatched makeup. So why should she stop doing this (for your, and her, pleasure!) after marriage? A desire to look attractive is in the veins of Slavic women, so just put up with it - your wife does not want to find another man, she is doing this because she thinks it is her feminine duty: to look beautiful.
Do Not Be Cautious about Your Wife's Communication with Others
Getting to an American or European community, Belarus, Russian, and Ukrainian women are hardly able to sense the intricacies of communication at once. Most often, they experience a complex of acculturation challenges and stress because of problems with language to observe how people treat each other. Hence, if you are abashed by ease and even frivolousness with which your wife communicates with your family, friends, and colleagues, do not be alarmed about her lack of education - sincerity and openness in socializing are core traits of Slavic hospitability.
As you can see, knowing these cultural peculiarities can help you interpret your wife's behavior correctly, and avoid unreasonable fears and concerns about misunderstanding. Accept your beloved woman as she is, and you will see that she will adapt and change with time.
