In Romania, women outnumber men by nearly 2M. No wonder many Romanian brides seek love overseas. What to expect from them? Find the answers here!
Romania isn’t a mainstream country to find a wife in Europe. Well, too bad. Romanian mail-order brides are no less attractive than, for instance, Slavic girls, and there are lots of singles seeking foreign husbands.
Even despite Romanian girls being considered the second best in the European segment of the online dating market, thousands of men keep marrying them yearly. Moreover, the vast majority of such marriages last.
Is there any catch though? What to expect from a Romanian wife and what is she likely to expect from you? That’s what we’re going to discuss.
What you should know before ordering a Romanian bride?
There are dozens if not thousands of myths about Romanian mail-order brides, as well as about brides from any other country. At the first stage of your dating journey, you should try to get rid of most of them.
It’s quite easy to do if you focus on real facts about Romanian women for marriage and this business at large. There’s no need to do your own research. We’ve already gathered them for you.
- Romanian brides are known as confident, beautiful, loyal, loving, family-minded yet ambitious women.
- There’s no way to actually order a Romanian bride. This phrase doesn’t refer to a real purchase. In reality, the mail-order bride business isn’t much different from the regular online dating business.
- Most single Romanian women join niche dating sites (international dating websites and mail-order bride websites) to find husbands abroad, so the chance of meeting them on such platforms will be the highest.
- Romanian singles are motivated to start and build genuine relationships. They don’t marry strangers. Usually, they search for a decent partner for at least a few weeks or months, start dating a man, and if everything goes right, they meet in real life.
- A couple builds a long-distance relationship until they both decide it’s time to take it to a new level and get married. After that, a bride applies for a visa to her husband’s country.
- Partners voluntarily start a family without any special terms set.
These are the basic rules of the game. If you’re interested and want to learn more about how things actually work, just read on.
What is a Romanian mail-order bride and what does she do?
So, who’s a modern bride from Romania? Here’s the answer.
A Romanian mail-order bride is a single woman who’s ready to start a family and isn’t interested in anything but a serious relationship. For certain reasons (we’re going to talk about them in more detail below), she believes that she can find her dream partner abroad. In order to meet this goal, she joins a specialized platform and starts looking for love online.
A modern bride isn’t ready to marry just a rich guy or a guy from the country where she’d like to live in the future. Women on niche websites realize that a relationship will work only if they build genuine emotional connections with their future husbands. That’s why they make an effort to build a long-distance relationship first and then “upgrade” them in real life.
Basically, that’s what Romanian brides really do:
- Use niche dating sites instead of services provided by marriage agencies
- Get free credits or an opportunity to communicate with men for free in exchange for a really detailed profile, sharing ID, verifying account, etc.
- Start a long-distance relationship with a man they believe to be their most compatible partner
- Meet their partner in real life at least a few times before they agree to marry him
- Expect to start a healthy family with a decent man
And here’s what they never do:
- Receive money for their decision to marry a foreigner directly or indirectly
- Agree to marry a foreign man just to immigrate
- Agree to marry a man they don’t know well
- Agree to become submissive wives in exchange for an opportunity to stay in a husband’s country
That’s the key information to consider when deciding whether to search or not to search for a foreign bride in Romania.
Why Romanian women become mail-order brides
But if women aren’t compensated for their decision to intermarry, how is their motivation explained? In fact, when asked about it, most Romanian women mention the following:
- Readiness to settle down and start a family along with failure to find a marriage-minded man in their home country.
- Local social, demographic, and cultural problems (from gender inequality to gender imbalance and high domestic violence rates).
- Attraction to foreign men and foreign cultures.
- Curiosity, the desire to try something fundamentally new and discover the world.
As you can see, it doesn’t have to be about money. Many women also note that they’ve made such a choice because of the unpleasant experiences and unsatisfying relationships with men from their cultural environment.
What it’s like to be married to a Romanian bride
All people are different, and so are all relationships between them. We won’t be able to give you the exact model of your potential relationship with a Romanian woman but we’ll be able to list all the most important distinctive features of such relationships usually mentioned by husbands of Romanian girls and ladies themselves.
- Romanians aren’t afraid to express their feelings through touches, so there’s likely to be a lot of physical contact in your marriage.
- Her family will always be a part of your marriage, no exception. Family bonds must always remain strong.
- A Romanian woman can tolerate and compromise many things, but she doesn’t tolerate mistreatment and disrespect. That always results in divorce.
- If a Romanian girl wants to do something herself, her husband should let her do it without many questions asked. Offering help is okay but if she says she doesn’t need it, you’ll just need to agree.
- Romanian wives often happen to be very patriotic, and the deeper husbands’ interest in actual Romanian culture that doesn’t have much to do with Dracula, the stronger your marriage.
