Make it Special

The proposal will be one of the highlights in her life, so you should plan the occasion carefully. It is a good idea to choose a nice venue, and to give her a subtle hint that you need to "talk about something very important" so that she can be prepared and think about her answer!

For some men, the thought of surprising their girlfriend seems like a good idea, however it's usually best that she is ready for it. (Don't worry, if everything is going smoothly in your relationship, then marriage is simply the next step!)

A Russian Wedding

Marrying a Russian woman also means that you'll be lucky enough to have your own Russian wedding!

Naturally, you will have your own ideas of the perfect wedding day. And... so will your Russian girlfriend! As it's usually a day where the woman gets her way, you'll be well advised to see that her Russian traditions are included. To find out more about this event specifically, read our articles about:

So, what can you expect after marrying a Russian woman?

First, and foremost, you can expect that marriage to a Russian woman will be full of love, passion, intense emotions and hopefully a lifetime of happiness together. Russian women give everything to their marriages, in the hope of having a happy husband, and giving birth to happy and healthy children.

Importantly, Russian relationships are characterised by a strong notion of "togetherness". By this, we mean that Russian couples spend a lot of time together. It is usual for couples to speak to each other many times during the day (during work hours) and to spend evenings and weekends together.

Of course there is still time for the husband and wife to spend time alone with their friends, but in general you will find that Russian couples spend far more time together than can be seen in many modern-day marriages in western cultures.

The Key to a Happy Marriage to a Russian Woman

The key to marrying a Russian woman is to remember that all relationships are based on love, trust and kindness. Yes, there will be ups and downs, and being in a relationship where cultural and language differences exists can be tougher than most. But it also could be the one reason why you and your wife experience a unique bond that most men will never get to experience.

To overcome the challenges specific to marrying a Russian woman, simply be prepared and know how to keep her happy...
