Understand this. Your Russian bride will almost certainly get through the stress period. Very few of them quit and return home. Russian women are psychologically tough. They will get through it, and they will begin to think of your home as the “real” home, but how long does it take?
For me, a 37 year old Russian womanfrom Moscow, it took me about 2 years before I was thinking of my house here in Eugene, Oregon as home. I travel to Russia every year to work with the ladies in our agency and my staff in Sochi, and I stay there about 2 or 3 months because besides my business, my mother and sister and nieces still live in Russia. However,when I am in Russia I terribly miss my home here in America, my family and my new friends. I miss the American style of life, and I want go to home as soon as possible.
There are ways that you can reduce the transition stresses for your new Russian bride. But here is a consideration for you men working on marrying Russian women. You are choosing a Russian woman precisely because she is from a different culture. The wonderful parts of that culture come with her, such as her belief in family and her duty and desire to create a cozy warm home to house the family. Family is everything for her, and language problems or other transition stresses are of little importance when you consider the overall wonderful change in your life. So your job is to reduce transition stress and make it possible for your new Russian bride to create what she desires, a home with you together.
You have to be flexible and patient.
While she must learn English, and she must learn to drive, that doesn’t mean that she has to be miserable too. You can help by being more Russian. Eat what she cooks, find out where the ESL courses are and take her there. If you know other Russians in town, introduce her. Realize that while she wants to be seen as adult, but during this transition period she is off balance. She can not participate in big decisions yet as she doesn’t yet know the rules of our society but work to include her in the decisions you make. Put her in charge of the house as much as possible. She will soon flower into a huge asset for you and your new family.
