Finding love abroad especially in Russia and the Ukraine has been going on for generations upon generations. Even before the inception of the Internet, men have been searching for love abroad. Many are successful, while others are not.
There are many men that believe it is easy to find someone pretty, young and attractive abroad. While this idea does hold true, in other ways this kind of relationship is harder to build. If you do a search on Russian or Ukrainian women, you will find countless women looking for USA or European men to marry. I personally know a few Ukrainian women that are currently looking.
Now the easiest part of this process is finding a woman. You can easily pull up the internet and find a site like Elena’s Models where you will find hundreds if not thousands of Russian and Ukrainian girls that are looking for love abroad. When you send that initial email, it can be the start of a very fun and exciting moment in time for you. Yet you will soon realize there is a lot of effort that needs to go into a long distance relationship. Although she may be ready to get married, women are women and desire to have a strong loving bond with the man she chooses to marry.
How do you go about building a strong bond with your woman? Talk often with her by phone or emails. A letter or phone call once a day should be the norm. If you cannot afford to call every day, then a simple twenty five cent text message is appropriate.
There is nothing that takes the place of being face to face with someone you care about. In the situation where you are dating someone abroad, you will have to make the effort to visit at least every six months. For two people to fall in love, it is nearly impossible to build this love without face to face interaction.
You might have heard many men say that they only met their fiances once before bringing them to their country for marriage. There is nothing wrong with that. Yet with statistics like a divorce rate of 60% for K1 Visa Marriages, I personally would want to get to know my fiance a little better than just one visit. I recommend at least two or three visits in the shortest amount of time possible. It is really hard to get to know someone in just one visit. It is easy to fall in love with a pretty face, but remember beauty gets old fast. If she is not also beautiful on the inside as well, you will quickly grow tired of her. It is a lot of effort, but worth it to make those few extra trips to get to know the real person behind that beautiful face.
Everyone dreams about developing a strong and happy marriage, yet this is very hard to do unless you get to know the person you are marrying. Get to know your woman’s fears, reservations, goals, dreams and wants. The more you know the easier the transition to your country will be for you and her. First year is the hardest and then after that everything will start to fall into place. Not everyone takes a year to adjust, but I have found that the first year seems to be the hardest for about 70% of the couples.
Here are a few others things you might want to consider. Does she enjoy watching TV? Then you might want to subscribe to a few cable or satellite Russian or Ukrainian channels. What are her hobbies? See if you can find a place for her to continue enjoying her hobbies. Almost every large city has a Russian or Ukrainian community. Find out what is going on in your community and see if you can join a Russian or Ukrainian support group. Try to do as much as possible with her and she will feel your support. Your relationship will be stronger for it.
