Your Future Russian Wife - Before and After! 
You have met your wonderful Future Russian Wife and have decided . . . . . . . that she is the one. You ask her to marry you, which, thank goodness, she agrees and you begin the process of bringing her into your country.
Most likely, once she is with you and begins to venture out, this is what she will experience and you will witness:
1. If she knows how to drive a car and perhaps had a Russian driver's license, upon beginning to drive in your country she will feel awkward and nervous. Every time she gets behind the wheel and sees a police car she will become very agitated.
It will take about 2 years to forget the unpleasant experiences that your future Russian wife may have had with the corrupted Russian police officers, who can and do stop you anytime, without any reason.
2. For the first few months she will drive only on the local roads and surface streets thinking that she could never be brave enough to drive on a freeway or expressway.
3. After arriving to be with you and getting settled in she will be afraid to answer the phone because of her limited communication skills, making phone conversation extremely difficult for your future Russian wife.
After maybe five or six months she will find answering the phone adventuresome using incoming calls from telemarketers as free training for her new language skills.
4. More than likely she won't know what a sweet potato or yam is nor what they taste like.
5. Your future Russian wife probably will not like peanut butter.
6. She will look in the local stores for what she considers staples, such as "seledka" (Herring made in a special "Russian way") or "Tvorog" (a cottage cheese, made in a special "russian" way ) and other Russian food stuffs, but never find most of them. This will make your future Russian wife very eager to find any Russian stores in your area.
7. She will hate all the breads sold in the local grocery stores and most of the bakeries and will complain about how much she misses the baked goods that she could buy in Russia.
8. She will pay close attention to putting on her makeup, wearing a very nice dress and high heel shoes just to go to the grocery store.
9. She will spend a great deal of time and effort trying to find other Russians in her local area with whom to communicate with. She will use the Internet a great deal to help your future Russian wife find these local Russians.
10. At first she will feel more like a tourist than a resident and often times take a camera with her. She will send photos to her friends and relatives almost every month whether they ask for them or not.
11. Because of her lack of English skills, she becomes bored when you are watching your favorite television show and you have to continually ask her not to disturb you while the show is on.
What the Future Holds
Ok, lets fast forward three to four years down the line and she how life has changed for your future Russian wife:
1. A police car is now just another car on the road for your future Russian wife.
2. She drives anywhere she wants to and doesn't remember any of her phobias about the freeways and expressways.
3. She will speak fluently on the telephone with her American speaking friends and learns to respond to all telemarketers with "Thank you, I am not interested"
4. She learns how to prepare nice dishes from sweet potatoes and yams.
5. Most likely she still won't like peanut butter.
6. She will stop looking for Russian stores to visit.
7. Your future Russian wife may tolerate the locally made breads but more than likely won't.... and will stop eating bread altogether.
8. Now, when she goes to the grocery store, she most likely will be wearing a pair of jeans, a tee shirt and tennis shoes.
9. Your future Russian wife begins to loose contact with most of the Russian friends that she found during her first year in your country. . 10. She doesn't feel herself as a tourist anymore and become so complacent about her surroundings that she doesn't think to send photos to her Russian friends, even when they request them .
11. She has HER favorite TV shows and asks you don't disturb her when your future Russian wife is watching television!
