I cannot say that the process of meeting my man was an easy one. I had been serfing the dating sites for hours, learning a new business for myself, meeting different people, making mistakes believing sweet words of scammers. But now I can say it was a great experience! And I am grateful to it.

Imagine that you are going to marry a bright, intelligent, decent and sensitive man with a great sense of humor, who, without a doubt, loves you. And then, when you arrive to his country, you meet just the opposite: a dark and closed person, who resists the slightest attempt of your intrusion into his life. In addition, you have neither driver’s license nor money (that is, you are absolutely dependent on him regarding the transportation and inhabitancy), you have no connections, your knowledge of the foreign language is pretty poor and you have no idea of what you could do to succeed in the new environment. This was my starting point of living here.

How each of the spouses imagines their future co-existence? This question is the axiom many couples do not even suspect about. Our husbands (regardless of their nationality) marry us in order to free themselves of the burden of their own problems and are not eager to take on ours. The opposite is also true: women get married hoping to breathe freely and to acquire a strong support rather than a tangle of resistances. How can the spouses combine their mind pictures? What can they do so that there would be enough of freedom and wealth in the family for both of them?

I received a confirmation that a lack of understanding in an international marriage is not only a personal problem but a problem of different cultures too. We have very different points of view about life as compared to the Americans.

For Russians, these things are important: house, comfort, homemade food and warmth, communication over a cup of tea in the kitchen. For the Americans, coziness in the house is a relative concept. Their view of comfort often implies that making a house cozy is just a waste of money. As far as their favorite food is concerned, a hamburger is the best thing in the world, though my dear husband eats everything that I cook with pleasure now.
