How Do You Know: Are Russian Women Good Mothers?

By Mark De Schutter

Is it really possible to tell are Russian women good mothers based solely on where they come from? Perhaps there is a line of thought that increases the chances that she will make a good mother, but there are never any guarantees when it comes to dealing with the human race.

Most Russian women are looking for several things when they agree to a marriage to a Western man. They want to know that they can live and love freely and that they will be a part of a relationship that is meaningful and positive. They may wish to further some of their personal opportunities before deciding they definitely want to have children with you.

When we start to live a new life, as Russian brides do, we all need some time to adjust and to make the most of the good and the difficult elements of such a transition. Introducing babies too early can overwhelm a woman and create havoc in your life. It is important to take things slowly enough to allow her to adjust and become a good wife first, and then transition toward being a good mother.

Many men miss the element of adjustment because they are excited. They are starting to develop the life that they want and they get ahead of themselves with joy, excitement, and anticipation. It can take more than just a few weeks for your new wife to get on board with all your plans. She needs time to get comfortable in her new environment and to develop the same ideals about home and family that you have.

Giving your new wife a little time to adjust, some freedom to explore her options, and the chance to create a strong and loving relationship with you before bringing children into the picture is always best. Of course, if you or she already has a child there is more to the question than mere hopefulness. It becomes a necessity.

Pushing your new Russian bride into having children as early as possible is often counterintuitive to all her reasons for looking for a Western man. She wants to know that you'll be a good father, and part of that is showing her that she has flexibility and choices. If you give her ultimatums or demand she sticks to a given timeline, you are proving to her that there is not much point to bearing children with you.

If you and she can not come together on this issue, there will be a great deal of strain in your relationship. Most women who are looking for a husband are also evaluating the potential he has to be a good father. The question tends to swing in both directions. As much as you may want to know do Russian women make good mothers, she wants to know do Western men make good fathers?

If you both agree that children will be part of the picture, and you both continuously agree to that basic timeline, chances are you will both be happily raising a family when the suitable adjustments have been made. It is always best to give it at the bare minimum one year before you start trying to bring children into the world. There are many aspects of life that you will both be adjusting to. A Russian woman can make a good mother, but nobody makes a good parent when they are forced, coerced, or intimidated into parenting. - 32510
