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 :
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.
