I have been looking for a good Russian wife so I thought I would throw this out there. I can give you all my particulars if you are interested. Been alone now for over 6 years and don't like it and for 2 years I have been sending this out all over the worls, thanks to the Internet: Seeking Brown Eyed Butterfly If you have dark brown eyes that are gentle and full of love. If when you walk into a room, everyone looks at you because of your beauty. If when you softly speak, everyone is quiet to hear what you have to say. If your hair is full and flowing, dark and mysterious. If you are soft and shapely and your breast are full and sweet. if you are stunning and your sent can fill a room. If you like harmony and loyalty and are true. If you love children and can teach them to love as you. If you like language that is clean and pure. If you like to be loved and not abused. If you like Yanni and Celtic love songs and candle light, then I have news. If you want someone that believes like you, then listen to the magic that comes to you. In a sunset so rich and rare, a summers rain that all can share, the warm breeze in the summers nights air, I am listening and could be there. If you know of one like the above and could share her with someone who is not abusive, I would be forever in your debt. tundrabear Hello Ami,

Seeking Brown Eyed Butterfly

If you have dark brown eyes that are gentle and full of love. If when you walk into a room, everyone looks at you because of your beauty. If when you softly speak, everyone is quiet to hear what you have to say. If your hair is full and flowing, dark and mysterious. If you are soft and shapely and your breast are full and sweet. if you are stunning and your sent can fill a room. If you like harmony and loyalty and are true. If you love children and can teach them to love as you. If you like language that is clean and pure. If you like to be loved and not abused. If you like Yanni and Celtic love songs and candle light, then I have news. If you want someone that believes like you, then listen to the magic that comes to you. In a sunset so rich and rare, a summers rain that all can share, the warm breeze in the summers nights air, I am listening and could be there.

If you know of one like the above and could share her with someone who is not abusive, I would be forever in your debt.

Thank's so much for writing about intercultural relationships. I appreciate that you also emphasized that intercultural relationships should not be done merely for the reasons of appearing "cool" or diverse. It is a very hard relationship to be in and relationships in general are hard. What more one where the couple are each from a completely different background. The fact that you mention even the small details from food to movies helps comprehend why there would be bigger issues that such things that could shake an intercultural marriage. If you cannot acknowlege aspects about a person's daily life, how are you going to deal with issues like association with your partner/spouse/siginficant other's family, their friends, their religious and financial expectations? What I have learnt which is also important to remember to do, is to remember that this is not only hard for you but chances are its equally hard for your siginficant other. At the same time, what should keep you strong is the despite all the mishaps and miscommunication and differences; that the love you have for each other, although may be a problem for you and some people; it is so strong that it still cannot be broke no matter what worlds each of you may come from :) Hi!

Like Gori Girl, I also appreciated the part about developing a social support system for the non-native spouse. My husband (East Indian) had a fairly good Desi community back in Southern California, where we lived, but since we've moved to Atlanta, he's had a difficult time establishing connections with other Indians here. It's easy for me to forget the importance of this because he's got such great social skills, better than mine even in my own culture! We've had a lot of conflict about this recently because he feels I haven't supported him in his efforts to establish friendships with other Indians. Reading this post just now has made me realize how important it is that I be more supportive of his need for other Indians in his life. Thank you! I've just started a <a href="http://www.eastwestmarriageblog.com" rel="nofollow">blog</a> about my intercultural relationship. I hope you don't mind if I reference your post and link back to it!

This is a really great post - I particularly like how you point out how the non-native partner will need develop a social support system in the new country.
