Married with Children!

[Ravens9273]

I am writting this post more out of curiosity because this is an answer unknown to me from what I have read.

One thing I see time and time again used to describe Men's decision to pursue a RW is their devotion to family (children) over career.

Now I have seen many married here yet only a couple mention actually having a child with their Russian Wives.

Compared to number of married this sems to be very low to marriages having children together.

I do not know if maybe children is not talked about but am just writting based on what I see and wanted to find more truth and fact to this.

I am curious since priority to children was in many description's to seeking RW yet I am not seeing any mention to actually having children with their wives.

I would like to hear from all who are married if they have had a child or not with their Russian Wives.

Compared to other forums,  posters here are more proud to show their children. Although rarely a main topic, many posters inject talk about their kids when it comes to questions pertaining to children.

I think everybody will agree that not all women rush into having children when they move here. Wanting to establish their life here first (education, work...) is the reason for that. Being family oriented is a broader notion really. It is more about devotion, faithfulness, taking care of her man and the house and the list goes on and on...

In English - to start a family - means have a child.
In RW minds - to start a family - means get married.

Ravens-
You would almost have to make it a poll to get any results compiled?

but your question seems twofold,
 and a little more complicated than it first seems
(as Anastasia illustrated)

Maybe our situation, will also help illustrate that there can be so many
different scenerios,., that actual childbirth isnt a such a qualifying factor?
(though i do believe MANY couples do indeed have children together,or children
 from previuos marriages that make up the family.)


I have a son,,from a previous marriage (widowed)
My wife is a wonderful mother, and is very family oriented, and takes our care and  welfare quite personally as her main directive in life.
To the extreem at times in my mind.
It seems fundemental to her, and what she believes to be her role in the family as "wife" is very defined and exacting in her mind.
She also views the natural progression of any  marriage includes having children together,but we do not have any yet.
She dolts over children in general,and our friends and relatives kids all adore her..
children a large part of life and she lights up around them.
All RW are individuals of course, but the desire to have a family ,and family life  seems stronger as a generality.

it wasnt long ago that an unmarried RW of mid to late  twenties,was viewed a bit odd or strange , and in need of hurrying to find a husband, or something was wrong with her.
that view may have changed some, but not all that drastically?

to be fair- I suppose it exists to a degree in the west as well..
