Are Ukrainian Women the Best Mail Order Brides

When a western  man starts dating an Ukrainian mail order bride he is often blinded by his female's beauty. But if he digs a little deeper he will find that she comes from a rich culture that's as old as the hills. And if he never makes an effort to understand this I guarantee his courtship will go wrong.

 

You see a man is initially drawn to an Ukrainian woman for a variety of reason. Perhaps a recent divorce has forced him to re-assess his dating habits, or maybe he became frustrated with the "dating routines" at home. Whatever the reason, it is unlikely - in the early stages of courtship - that he will have much knowledge of his new girl's cultural background.

 

If the gentleman is serious about his ambition to marry a Ukrainian woman it is perhaps wise to read up on the history of Ukraine before flying into the country. By scratching below the surface and making an effort to understand the cultural roots of the country's people; the  gentleman is in fact giving himself the best possible chance of finding a wife. Or at the very least he will avoid an expensive diversion.

 

So let's have a brief look at some cultural and historical facts related to Ukraine:

 

Ukraine is the largest country in the European continent - although in comparison to Russia it is tiny. It has a rich history as a Slavic nation and was a major power under Vladimir the Great in the 10th Century. Prior to this there is evidence that the Sarmatians settled within the borders of Ukraine well before the time of Christ. Communities from Ancient Greece and Rome also set up shop along the Ukraine Black Sea coast.

 

Culturally Ukraine has a rich heritage. Strong links with the Orthodox Church and a land that has been home to many influential saints; one doesn't need to look far to see traces of Eastern Christianity. The scent of incense is never far away.

 

Cities such as Kiev boast Christian cathedrals and ancient architectural gems. Trips to Odessa and Sevastopol reveal a host of Russian Imperialist buildings.

 

It's not all Saints and Czars though. Ukraine was the homeland to the great musician Tchaikovsky. Other musical minds connected to Ukraine include Prokofiev and the pianist Sviatoslav Richter. All in some way produced music that still reflects the heart Ukrainian people. If you have ever spent time in Eastern Europe you will understand the great importance that music plays in people lives - it is far deeper than anything we experience here in the West.

 

So when you're dating a lady form Ukraine just be aware of her culture. If you are serious in your desire for marriage to her then learn as much as you can about Ukraine. Your marriage will be healthier for it.
