What a good Russian wife should be like?
A lot of words have been said about the great role women play in men's lives. Therefore, choosing his future wife is perhaps one of his most responsible choices.
Let's try to understand what principles guide young people to imagine the ideal wife and see how these principles have changed over time. Let's also ask ourselves if there are any common qualities that all strong men and women would like to see in their wives.
If we turn to history, we can derive one main pattern: over the centuries, the tastes and perceptions of women's beauty have changed, faith has changed (and in one period and simply rejected), and the political structure of the country has changed, but the economic and maternal functions for women have always been above all.
In pre-Christian times, polygamy was practiced in Russia, but even then, in addition to external beauty, the ability to care for children was valued.
After a christening of Russia women have received some rights, but church orders have made them recluse that did not allow to take active part in a public life. Therefore the future husband at a choice of the wife was difficult enough to consider any other factors, except attractiveness and ability to conduct a housekeeping.
There was another criterion, which is used by some men (say immediately that not the best part of them) and to this day - the status and condition of the parents of the girl.
A little later, women were allowed to receive education, which later led to the strengthening of their position in society.
Let's jump over now in a few centuries and address immediately to the 18th century. At this time, an event took place that finally broke the stereotype that women's share - raising children and cleaning the house. This event was the ascension to the throne of Catherine I - the first woman in Russian history, who became ruler. From that time on, new women were added to the "parameters of a good Russian wife", with whom men had to reckon. Educations, position in society, intellect were added to them.
Ladies who were able to perform music as well as those who spoke the language of dance were also highly valued in society. The knowledge of French was also indispensable. Without this set, the girl had no chance to marry a serious man, because he relied not only on his choice, but also on public opinion.
In the common people, traditional values were strong, and the man was looking for a girl who could bear all the hardships of household chores, as well as raise and raise his children.
The 20th century was marked by a complete revolution in the political order of the country, as well as in many other spheres of life. At that time there was a complete emancipation of women, who began to have the same rights as men.
In the Soviet state, everyone was called a comrade, including women, and therefore the man had to find a "class partner" - "comrade wife", who was not only supposed to skillfully own a cook in the kitchen, but also be an excellent "firebug of the world revolution" and a decent builder of communism.
Fortunately, this nonsense quickly passed, and again, the main thing in a woman was her diligence, education, as well as a sense of motherhood. By the way, it was during this period that the status and condition of the wife's parents became less relevant, and more valuable was what the girl herself could achieve. But, of course, everything went back to his own circles, if the girl's father was the director of a meat factory or winery.
Nowadays, the question of what a good Russian wife should be like is likely to remain unanswered. The fact is that in society there is an extremely large stratification in many respects. According to the economic situation, only in our country there are simultaneously excessively rich and extremely poor people. Naturally, for the former, women are first of all an "accessory" that emphasizes their position and income level. Such men should not be guided by traditional values, because for money you can hire a maid, a tutor for children, as well as a cook. It is not difficult to "buy" and a new wife, if the old one will weigh heavily.
People with low income primarily value the reliability of their spouse and the ability to experience any adversity together. Maybe the relationship of such a couple will not be filled with romance, and in the story of their lives will be impossible to make a sob girl film from the average American director, but loyalty and devotion will be valued above all.
If we look at the middle class, its composition and heterogeneity cannot be classified in principle. Accordingly, each group values different human qualities, too.
Due to the traditional way of thinking and principles in life, I have no idea what kind of wife a boy wearing a long bangs, painted black, dressed and behaving in such a way that his gender identity can only be determined by a full medical examination. And in general, I can't imagine why such eccentric people need such archaic things as family and marriage. All this also applies to other, no less advanced, modern youth from different subcultures and currents.
Among all modern diversity we can not fail to mention a group of people who promote the sexual revolution and consider their success and achievement not the number of conceived and brought up children, but the number of girls laid in bed. It should also be noted that in addition to a small group of men who know how to do it, there is a much larger group, but inferior in intelligence, unsuccessfully seeking to repeat the achievements of their more successful sexual idols and spread the idea of sexual relations without any obligation to the left and right.
These men value wives with large breasts of natural or artificial origin. In principle, that's enough. But it is also possible to note presence of the car, an apartment, and also the rich sexual experience received in advance, and it is not very important, in what circumstances. The presence of too much experience is not the reason why you can give up marriage and relationships.
As a rule, it does not come to the institution of children in such families, so there is no reason for a young man to look at his chosen one as the mother of his children.
However, it should be noted that there are still young people and men for whom a good wife is the breadwinner of children, a real mistress in the house, as well as the closest person, reliable and loyal, on whom one can rely in case of need.
Thus, let us summarize all the above. A woman, unlike a man, is entrusted with the strongest weapon - the ability to give life to a new person. That is what men have always pushed from when choosing their life partner at all times, regardless of any external circumstances, and I hope that this aspect will continue to be the main one in the future.
The fact that a wife must be good and hardworking at home has also always been another two positive features that men have paid attention to.
Hopefully, in our difficult times, reason will win again and traditional values will continue to be the key to a strong family and a strong society.
