A majority of these kinds of marriages, along with the mail order bride industry marriages last less than five years. Just long enough to get the rest of the family over here for the wrong reasons. Certainly not patriotic reasons.

Reference?

I know ~15 guys who have married foreign women. Not a single couple has divorced.

I hear sob stories from guys that took the plunge. I must look like a shoulder to cry on. We held my son's birthday party at a skating rink, I'm sitting in a booth watching the kids, the guy in the next booth stikes up a conversation and goes on for over an hour about how his mail order wife moved her family over here, left him and took their son, won't let him see the boy.

Another guy married a Russian doctor, she got her license to pratice and he just wasn't good enough anymore.

Same story from a regular customer where I am employed, in another instance one local guy kept ordering them and murdering them. I think he murdered about four over a decade. You and one other person are the only ones I have heard give a good report on the practice. I'm sure there are success's but those you don't really hear about. You hear about the ones that blow up.
