Hello everyone. I don't get much time anymore so I would like to let everyone know my Russian wife and me celebrated our 10th anniversary this past weekend. It's been a great 10 years for both of us and different.
I met her on a plane, flying back to Atlanta from Moscow, after ending a relationship that seemed to be going nowhere but her way. My wife was a Medical Artist and had been living in Atlanta for several years working for a group of doctors and a law firm.
Her English was probably an 8 out of 10, very mature, intelligent, had a fun sense of humor and is still beautiful, and still got that fun sense of humor. We dated on a regular basis and made the decision together to get married after about 10 months. She worked for a few more months and then relocated to our home here in the north Georgia mountains about 2 hours from Atlanta.
We don't argue nor get in each others faces. We have disagreements, and talk them out in a sensible matter and keep living our happy lives together. I built her an art studio so she could have her own space and continue to work part time for her friends in Atlanta, and I think that was probably the best move I made after she relocated here. It gave her a sense of belonging, being respected for her intelligence and the work she loved and who she is with independence.
She was accepted by our neighbors, friends and most important, my family. She has no kids of her own and is loved my my kids and grand kids. Our grand kids consider her their Queen and spend a lot of their time with her. Our oldest grand daughter starts college this year and will be studying to become a Medical Artist. I think our family and friends attention to her has made a huge difference in her and our marriage.
I don't have a clue what's going on in the MOB scene anymore, especially Russia as my wife has no desire to return to Russia anymore for obvious reasons and who she supports.
I wish all of you the best that are still looking for a bride and congrats to the ones of you that have found your happiness and are happily married.
