Russian Women And Their Family Values

By Lera Cupidonova

Russian women are renowned for their beauty. They always make an effort to look beautiful for their men. However, this is not the only aspect that is important in their system of values. First and foremost, they strive to be good wives and mothers, as well as respected members of society.

Single women make a great deal of effort when it comes to finding a husband. This is because there are many more unmarried women than men. To find a good man is not easy, and keeping one is also not easy. As such, women are very conscious of their appearance, even after marriage.

A woman will rarely leave her home without wearing make-up, a nice hair style and smart clothes. Most Russian women are slender because they do not eat big meals. Their bodies are usually fit and well-toned. This can be attributed to the fact that they do a lot of walking. Women hardly ever drive.

Whenever possible, women like to grow their own vegetables and make their own clothes. This is even more important if the couple is on a tight budget. Such a situation will be accepted gracefully. If necessary, a Russian wife is quite happy to be her own stylist, designer, dietician, make-up artist and personal trainer.

Family is of primary importance. If a woman wants to be socially respected, she must have a husband and children. This overrides her wish for a career. Unmarried women are looked down upon. Therefore, to be considered successful, a woman must conform to these requirements.

As such, an unmarried woman will put her main focus on seeking a husband. While she is not afraid of working hard, she will try to find a husband that is fairly wealthy. This will make her feel secure while she is busy bringing up the children. Because of this, a lot of Russian women look for older men who are financially stable.

Women put so much focus on their families instead of their careers for another reason. This is because, in the job market, there is still much discrimination against women. Men are still given preference despite a woman's qualifications or capabilities. This clearly shows that the commercial sector also expects a wife to put her husband and family first.

A wife will therefore do her utmost to assist her husband in building a successful career for himself, with no focus on her own life. If money is tight and there is only sufficient to pay for one to study, she will happily let her husband have the chance to better himself. However, if she has to work to provide a second income, she will gladly oblige.

From the information in this article, it might appear that women think they are subservient to men. This is not the case. Russian women do not take kindly to being given orders. To them, marriage is a joint partnership and they expect respect and appreciation. It is a unification of two equal people.
