World Divorce Rates (Foriegn Bride Stats)
(Read horror stories. Relationship help. Preventative steps.)
Read a True Life Story From USA Guy Married to Ukrainian Girl

Oh, what a surprise!!! (Below, you will find the reasons.)

The agencies will tell you that the reason for a high divorce rate in Russia/Ukraine is because Russian men drink, they are rude, they don't value women, they cheat or they hit the women.

Sorry, that happens in every country. (Russia didn't invent the 12-step program) Here are the real reasons.

Russians marry young. Men because they want to move out of the family home but need a 2nd mother to do the cooking, cleaning and washing. Women because they think they are in love or because the want someone to take care of them. Young Russian girls have no money.

Why do they divorce? Men divorce because they found a better woman. (They never give up their 2nd mother if they don't have a 3rd waiting.) Women because they realize that they don't love the man and in the divorce, they will get a pile of financial compensation. (Apartment, car, money) Women might stay with a man if she has a bad job or kids because no Russian man wants a women with kids. A single mother is a bad thing in Russia. 

 Nobody tries to save a marriage. Nobody works at something that they consider to be not working. They simply give up and move on. I am sure the majority of Russian girls who have married foreigners and are happy in their new lives were the extra-sweet, (non-Russian character) girls that are very hard to find.

I have a page with what to expect from a relationship with a Russian/Ukrainian girl.

Foreign Marriage Statistics

A few guys have blasted me for the statistic of foreign marriage statistics that I have on my Facts page. Well, here are the official statistics from the US government (uscis.gov) for the year 2003.

3889 K-1's (fiancée) entered the USA
54.0% left the USA within 6 months
28.2% left between 6 months to one year
17.7% lasted more than one year

1546 K-3 (spouse) entered the USA
70.3% left the USA within 6 months
22.6% left between 6 months to one year
7.1 % lasted more than one year

Jim's Personal Stories

After living years in Russia, I knew 2 couples in their 1st marriage.

Friend: "She's a nice girl, but she was never the same after her 2nd divorce."
Jim: "How old is she?"
Friend: "31."

Russian friend #1: "Russian girls get married for money."
Russian friend #2: "Russian girls get married for financial gain."
Russian friend #3: "Russian girls see marriage as a way to profit financially."
Russian friend #4: "Russian girls like bald men. They are bald because they work hard and means they are rich."
See a pattern here?

Russian girl: "I was married for 5 years."
Jim: "I guess it wasn't true love."
Russian girl: "It was true love."
Jim: "True love lasts 5 years?"
Russian girl: "Is that long?"
Jim makes a funny face.
Russian girl: "Is that short?"
Jim avoids getting into the discussion.

Don't get me wrong guys. This info is good for you. Forget the young girls (18-22). They will be trouble and headache. Divorced girls (especially with kids) are going to be serious and looking for something real.

Who Are The Happiest People on Earth? 

A 2006 survey, by some organization with extra money to waste and a lot of time on their hands, ranked which nations are the happiest.
