Russian women are known for their family values; it is one
of the main reasons many men decide to look for future partners among them.
Russian ladies are very loyal to their families, they place them first, and
will be the most dedicated mother and wife once you marry. Russian culture
includes a lot of family time – during holidays or everyday life – and your
sweetheart will certainly place a lot of importance on their partner having a
good relationship with her family.
One of the ways to do this is by showing respect. Being
kind, courteous, and following the cultural customs are great ways to show your
interest in becoming a part of the family. Be observant and pay attention to
small family traditions (i.e. having elders be the first served at the table,
etc.), then follow them. It will show your lady and her family that you are
respectful and acknowledge their feelings.
It is also important to be thoughtful. Most Russian people
are very hospitable and will treat you like a VIP, and you can be well prepared
to show your appreciation for such treatment. If you are invited to your
Russian lady’s family’s home, remember not to come empty handed. You do not
have to bring anything fancy, but having a small gift for the hosts will be a
nice gesture. For example, you can bring flowers for the hostess and wine for
the host, a dessert for everyone, or something similar. Your effort will not go
unnoticed; it will show your sweetheart’s family that you thought about them in
advance and prepared for the visit well.
Remember that actions speak louder than words. Your Russian
lady’s family will want to see your care and intentions for her, so whatever
you tell your future in-laws, support it with actions. If you make a promise –
keep it, do not promise things you can not deliver. Seeing you be consistent in
doing things you promise will help your Russian bride’s family trust you and
make them feel like their daughter will be in reliable hands.
Same as communication with your Russian lady, be honest when
you talk to her family. Be open about your intentions, describe how you see
your future together, whether you plan to get married soon or would rather take
things slow, and try to answer any other questions they may ask you. Since
dating a man from abroad often means their daughter leaving for his country,
many parents might be concerned about frequency of communication and being able
to keep in touch. Try to address any concerns they might have, or even look for
a compromise together. Your lady’s parents and family will appreciate you being
upfront and honest about the future possibilities; it will help them adjust
their expectations and will result in less tension for everyone.
Once you and your Russian lady have made plans to join your
lives in future, take any opportunity you can to communicate with her family.
This can be especially useful when you visit your sweetheart’s country. Make a
point of spending time with her family and getting to know each other. Tell
them about your life, ask about theirs – such communication will help your
lady’s parents be more accepting of you, and can also help you learn more about
your sweetheart: knowing her family history can explain a lot of who she is.
Whatever steps you take to getting to know you Russian
woman’s family, make sure that you are genuine. Having your bride’s family
accept you and know who you are will be a great way to ensure a happy future
for you and your sweetheart.
