I think this topic was discussed millions of times here but maybe you can answer one more time on some interesting questions:)

I would like to ask married guys , after being married to your Russian wives for example for 2-5  years or more , do you still think you made a right choice and Russian women are the best ever:))? Are you satisfied with everything, are there any issues you would like to change ? Did you manage to rich mutual full understanding of one another? Do you love them more than you did earlier for example?

What traits  of the character you appreciate the most in your women?

Were there any cases when you met American or western European women and thought  why you never married them for example and instead  ended up with Russians?

thanks in advance:)

Yes, I do think I made the right choice, does that necessarily mean that RU women are the best ever? - No.

In marriage it's not about changing issues but instead compromise and adjusting to them.  People our age change very little and it all boils down to accepting your mate as they are and not insisting on change.

Quote
Did you manage to rich mutual full understanding of one another?

Yes, our ability to communicate was quite good at the beginning and getting better all the time.

Quote
Do you love them more than you did earlier for example?

Like a flower, either love grows or it wilts and dies away..

Quote
What traits  of the character you appreciate the most in your women?

Openness, directness.

No regrets here but it's not related to nationality..  I have had good, long term relationships with AW and other foreign women. If I found a lady interesting I followed up and maybe a relationship formed - regardless where she came from.  The fact that my wife is from RU had very little to do with it as neither of us sought a foreign partner for marriage.  We did however find each other interesting, a relationship formed and grew into a family.

Yes, being from RU 'peaked' my interest initially but in the longer term she could have been from Spain, Italy, Germany, Turkey, China or a host of other places.. - It would have made little difference.

After I control the occassional urge to strangle, yes.

I'm still looking for the On/Off switch for the talking machine.

Communication has never been a problem.

Of course, love blossoms over time or simply dies.  It would be very hard to stay married for 5 years without love.

JB,

TFF! :D

 I relate these more to the 6 year old in our case but those are classic!

Most assuredly YES! Elena is the best part of my life. I could not have found a better partner, friend, wife, lover, everything!

Quote
Are you satisfied with everything, are there any issues you would like to change ?

No there is nothing that I wish to change about her. I fell in love with her for who she is not for who I thought she could be.

Quote
Did you manage to rich mutual full understanding of one another?

She understands me much better than I understand myself. I hope that I do half as good at understanding her but I think I still have some improvement to do in that area.

Quote
o you love them more than you did earlier for example?

Every minute of every hour of every day.

Quote
What traits  of the character you appreciate the most in your women?

Her thoughts, feelings, instincts, love, devotion, and the fact that she puts up with me are a few that I can think of quickly.

Quote

I take it that you mean have I seen any woman that I wondered about since I married Elena. If that is what you mean then the answer is easy. NO. There is no one that compares with her in any way.

Quite a testament by these three happily married guys!  I've not been in this relationship for two years, but if posting, I would agree with the sentiments of the others.

Ken-- wow--

There are good women in every nationality, I am sure.

Satisfied? Absolutely!  Changes?  Absolutely!  I wish she wasn't quite a stubborn at times, but then she would say the same of me too.
Quote
Did you manage to rich mutual full understanding of one another?

The minor language difficulties are long gone, but they were more of a nuisance than a problem with communication.  We always knew who each other was from very early in our relationship.
Quote
Do you love them more than you did earlier for example?

My love grows daily for her.

Quote
What traits  of the character you appreciate the most in your women?

 She is very feminine and always careful to look her best and it is much appreciated by me.

I think that my wife is the "best ever" woman for me, but I'm not sure that the fact she's Russian is what determines that  ;)
Are you satisfied with everything, are there any issues you would like to change ?

As always marriage can be "work" and neither husband nor wife will be 100% satisfied 100% of the time, but after 3 1/2 years our life together gets better everyday. It's comfortable and exciting  :D

Did you manage to rich mutual full understanding of one another? Do you love them more than you did earlier for example?
See answer to above ^ Yes, we understand each other without words and I'm still madly in love with her  :toocool:

What traits  of the character you appreciate the most in your women?
As I've often said, her tenacity is her best AND worst trait  :o

Were there any cases when you met American or western European women and thought  why you never married them for example and instead  ended up with Russians?
Once I met my wife, I never compared her to other women  :-* I ended up with Liliya because she's a unique individual who's life compliments my own (and hopefully my life compliments hers as well  ;) ) and because in a moment of temporary insanity she agreed to be my wife  :kissing:

since i'm known for being fairly brutally honest at times here-
i'm dying at jb's replies..

been there, done that,, can't find a T shirt though.
Dan, care to sell them?


anyway-
I certainly made the right choice in a wife!!
 but the fact she is Russian complicated our relationship.
the complications were cultural, not language related.

Had she been from a western culture , things would have been smoother..
but then the bumps in lifes road , are all part of the journey ;)

Quote

I would change her hair color back to brunnette..

We diffinantly understand each other very well ,as people , not
just in language.

Our relationship/love has gotten deeper ..and continues to with more shared moments, memories and sharing/building  a life together

Quote
What traits  of the character you appreciate the most in your women?
The fact she is independent, outspoken, and opinionated.
I like an individual who knows who they are and has thier beliefs.
The fact she enjoys , almost relishes ,being a woman.
Her consideration and thoughtfulness to others,
 and her bright personality that brings a smile to most anyones lifes she touches.
sappy enough? ;) but true.
 

btw - her being highly opinionted and headstrong is also a weak point..lol
but i have far more of those weak points , than her,,
 so who am i to point out the splinter in another's eye ,
 with a whole tree in my own eye ? ;)

 
Quote

I see smart, beautiful women every day..??
but

NO,
 i dont think of the *what if's* or any second thoughts on my choices in a life partner..

For me, she is simply the best person.
nationality hasn't much of a bearing on it..
although her culture did shape her to be the person she is..
The person i love, and fell for..

i would say she would feel that my background shaped me into *who* she fell for,  as well...
