How to find out what would be your marriage? How to ensure that it will be happy?
It is not so difficult as it seems for the first sight. You just should compare your family to your girlfriend’s one. If the family values are similar, your future marriage has great chance to be successful. So let’s talk on Step2Love about family values in Ukraine.
Slavic people are always very devoted to their families and Ukrainians are not the exception. But there are some cultural and mental specialties that give to Ukrainians some differences comparatively to other similar nations.
One of the most important difference between Ukrainian woman and, for example, Russian one is that Ukrainian wife is in her own right in her family. She respects her husband and expects the same from him. Ukrainian spouses usually take important family decisions together and your Ukrainian sweetheart, naturally, counts on the same rules in her own family.
It is a common way in Ukraine to distribute family responsibilities among different members. As a rule Ukrainian woman takes care of the house and prepares food and a man earns money and takes his part in domesticity. So Ukrainian ladies learn to cook and keep house from early years and often love to do it.
Some of Ukrainian ladies (especially if they have children) stand on their own two feet very well. That also means they accustomed to take any decisions by their own and take all the responsibility to their shoulders. But it can be difficult to build a family with a partner who prefers to do everything by herself. So you may discuss with your beloved some significant questions of your life from time to time and always support your sweetheart if she asks your advice. Step by step both of you will get used to take important decisions together and it will help you to become closer.
The other thing that will be needed to Ukrainian wife is the freedom to choose what she wants in her privacy. So it would be better not to impose her the rules and customs of your family and culture (especially if your religion is very strict and it may affect to her personal rights like behavior, clothes, way of life etc.) but to tell her about the long history and reasons of these rules and customs. Try to interest her by your extraordinary traditions, accentuate how important they are to you. And your future wife will take a step to you and may agree to change her life for the sake of your love and harmonious relationship.
The pledge of your happy marriage will be mutual respect, trust and understanding. Take a step towards each other, make an acquaintance in reality and you will have a good chance to make a harmonious couple on Step2Love!
