Posted by admin on Nov 06, 2012

Norway is a great country in its diversity and comfort. Its beauty begins with its territory which has a narrow and elongated shape: so wherever you are, an exciting sea will always be with you. Therefore, we can safely say, that the Norwegians are not only skilled and experienced sailors, but also romantic people. No wonder that such classics of world music as a Romantic composer Edvard Grieg and violinist Ole Bull.

However, if people who have never been in Norway, think that this is a country with severe climatic conditions, and the population (especially, men from Norway) – are always gloomy and pig-headed, they will have a lot of surprises: after all Norway, probably, more than any other country, is made of contrasts. On its territory you can see most various landscapes. Besides, the winter here isn’t similar to spring, and spring – to the summer. As a result, if in the winter Norwegians wear warm sweaters and jackets, in the summer they perfectly look in colorful T-shirts and shorts.

Surely it is necessary to note that Norway is the country which is one of the most economically developed countries of the world: income per capita is considered one of the highest in this country. And it isn’t surprising, after all the basis of the Norwegian economy is made by rich deposits of oil and the gas, located in the North Sea.

For a long time it became the custom that measured and stable life in the Scandinavian countries is very attractive to the citizens of other countries. Therefore, many our compatriots look for possibility of acquaintance to Norwegians and marry them. As a result: if you like immense open spaces in size and beauty, the magnificent polar lights and most delicate taste of fish, then you are likely to search for your soul-mate in Norway. Moreover, to get acquainted with a Norwegian and to marry him is not so difficult as it seems at first sight.

In Norway, early marriages are not customary, but if a man from Norway decided to get married, then you can be sure that from this moment his wife and family he will be in the first place on the scale of values. Marriage in Norway is really appreciated and it is believed that it increases the man’s status, affecting, for example, his progress through the ranks. Agree, that this attitude toward marriage among men from Norway is a good reason for us to think: “I want to create a strong and happy family! Want to meet a Norwegian! I want to marry a Norwegian!”

But, apart from the fact that men from Norway are wonderful family men and wealthy people, they are also attractive men, who can rarely leave a woman indifferent. Respectable, tall, blond, blue-eyed, whose heart can melt the coldest and the most tired of the loneliness souls with their tenderness and kindness, they are highly valued in our world. Therefore, many women after meeting with the Norwegians often marry in Norway.

Wedding traditions in Norway

Posted by admin on Nov 08, 2012

Wedding celebrations in Norway last from two to four days, sometimes even up to a week! They started to celebrate this wonderful event long before that. Once the parties agreed on the engagement, it was immediately followed by a feast.

By the way, the feast is often followed by a married life, the so-called engagement season. The groom gave the bride gifts that were guarantee of seriousness of his intentions. These gifts, regardless of whether there was a wedding after that or not, were considered the personal property of the bride. But it was a difficult period for the bride: before the wedding she had to knit socks and mittens as a gift to all members of the groom’s relatives. By the way, it was the only dowry that was given to the girl: the majority of Norwegian parents considered a beautiful and hard-working daughter the most expensive gift.

In the morning of the appointed day, the groom’s entourage drove up to the house of the bride. Father of the bride gave a cup of beer to the groom, from which the groom should take a sip. Then, the groom had to obtain the consent of parents again to marry his fiancee, and after that – the consent of all her relatives. Usually the groom gave small gifts.

Only after the relatives of the bride received gifts . and sometimes after the bride price, fiancee appeared on the doorstep. Often the bride was not dressed in white, she wore a traditional hand-made folk costume. During the whole wedding, the bride feel very uncomfortable, because had to wear a massive silver crown on her head (now it is replaced with a lighter crown) – This crown will be kept by the wife all her life.

Then the bride should take a sip of beer, confirming that they would divide everything in two. Then, everything’s ready for the wedding! Important point: in the church or municipality, the future spouses must provide a certificate confirming the fact that nothing prevents them from getting married in Norway.

Only close relatives of newlyweds go to the church or municipality. All the guests were invited into the house, where the young was to live. There they waited for honeymooners, eating and dancing.

On the threshold, newlyweds were showered rye and barley, and the bride had to catch the grains. The more she caught, the richer and happier the family life will be.

Up to 300 people are usually gathered at the wedding party! Of course, it is very difficult for two families, therefore all the relatives and even neighbors take part in the organization of the holiday. A Norwegian will even offended if neighbor arranging the wedding did not borrow his chairs or dishes, or ask to help him.

By the way, such a celebration of the wedding is held because the Norwegians do not like to … register relationship. Even though most young people are happy to start a life together, as soon as they feel that they are happy with each other. Therefore, if the wedding did take place, they try to make it as lush and memorable as possible.

Couples often get married after many years of life together (and sometimes just a few months before the divorce). Therefore, no one in Norway will be surprised at the scene in the church when an adult son leads his mom to the altar.

What do Norwegians shout, making the newlyweds kiss? They make the newlyweds stand on a chair, so that everyone could see them. The couple got the gifts for the duration of the kiss. The more expensive the gift was, the longer the guest could make honeymooners stand on a chair.

The traditional drink at Norwegian wedding is beer . Extra chic if the beer was brewed by the bride a couple of weeks before the wedding, but it happened very rarely. Among strong drinks at modern Norwegian wedding, one can see vodka. They drink a lot at the wedding. Locals joke that they should give beer to cows at the wedding, so everyone was drunk and was lowing something in honor of the bride and groom.

The principal meal at the Norwegian wedding was “the bride’s porridge”, which was made of wheat flour and cream. There are almost obligatory dishes at Norwegian wedding: baked salmon and cod tongues, venison and salt-cured lamb chops, which are steamed. “Sodd” was also very popular – a vegetable soup with lamb meatballs. For dessert – a Russian analogue of “wedding cakes”, pancakes with sweet fillings.

At the end of the feast, “bride’s cheese” was served. The bride had to come to each guest and give a piece of cheese to everyone. Usually those were sliced cheese, soaked in honey and sprinkled with nuts. This was not only a delicious dessert, but it was also more than a hint of the end of the event. After the bride had left the hall with an empty tray, the guests began to go home.

The bride and the groom went into the bedroom for a “sweet night”. According to the tradition, the husband gave his wife a gift in the morning after the wedding night, usually jewelry with diamonds and gold.

Norwegian Thai temple as Thai women arrive in Norway

Thai women face challenges in Norway as Norwegian men opt for Thai marriage partners

More and More men from Norway are opting for Thai women as marriage partners.

Indeed there was quite a backlash from women in Norway some time ago when a Norwegian politician publicly stated that he thought Thai women took better care of their husbands and family. A recent TV programme on Norwegian TV saw feminist groups suggesting that Norwegian law gives Norwegian men power of their Thai wives when they arrive in Norway. The new law allows for the deportation of Thai women in Norway in certain situations where their marriage to their Norwegian husband fails.

Norwegian men speaking to ThaiLoveLines have rejected the programmes concerns pointing to his their own marriages and then fact that growing numbers of Norwegian men are becoming interested in find wives in Thailand. 'If there was a problem, men would not be travelling there. Most Norwegian men are fair people,' says Rune who met his Thai wife Pim in Khon Khaen, Thailand two years ago after meeting her on the internet through a Thai Dating site. Rune: 'Pim and I, we are happy, we have our own house, no money problems and I respect her, this is the story with many Norwegian men with a Thai wife. My friends do not treat her badly; many ask her about Thai women and life in Thailand and want to know how to find a Thai woman also.'

Rune's wife Pim is 32 years, 6 years younger than him. She is equally adamant that the story of Thai women in Norway is more a positive one than a negative one. Pim: 'I am Thai woman, not a child. I am happy to live in Norway with my husband.'

The TV programme comes at a time when a government report in Finland concluded that well over 90% of marriages between Thai women and men from Finland were happy ones. Finnish women's groups had called for an investigation into the high levels of Thai women opting to live at home as housewives. An outcry over Thai women working in massage parlours in Finland also contributed to calls for an investigation. A report by a Thai University student into Thai women living in Germany also highlighted the vulnerability of Thai women immigrating to a colder western country. In all these situations, however, the reports went to great lengths to point out that the vast majority of relationships between Thai women and western men were enduring ones.

The growth of Thai women travelling to Norway now means that Thai and Filipina women are the largest group of non western immigrants in Norway. Norway, with its oil wealth, has now become one of the richest countries in the world and a magnet for immigrants.

However, the developing economy in Norway has brought more women in Norway into the Norwegian workplace and the roles of men and women have altered from previous generations. Some men in Norway see Thai women as 'more feminine,' more 'old fashioned' and therefore better marriage partners. Many Thai women coming to Norway have very successfully integrated themselves into Norwegian society.

Thai Women in Norway and Oslo

Indeed there are many Thai women in Oslo and throughout Norway now using Thai Dating sites to meet boyfriends, marriage partners or simply friends in Norway, Thailand or any other place in the world. Many younger Thai women living in Oslo now lead a cosmopolitan life with careers and seek life partners online with Thai Dating Sites from Norway. At the same time, there have many shocking stories of Thai women who have been abandoned by their partners after travelling to Norway and been forced to depend on Norwegian social services.

The biggest challenges facing Thai women in Norway are:

The cold - Many Thai women wear multiple layers of clothing in winter and summer periods.

The negative reaction from some women in Norway and the Norwegian media.

Many Thai women feel homesick in Norway where the weather and the culture are so different. This is countered in time by the rising numbers of Thai women moving to Norway .

On July 2007 Thai Princess Somsawalee traveled to Norway to meet Thai women and to open the first Thai temple in Norway on the 100th anniversary of the famous visit of King Chulalongkorn to Norway in 1907.

This highlights an important element of the story. We have seen from countries like Australia, the United States and Canada that Thai women arriving in foreign countries as Thai Brides are beginning to found active communities in these countries.

The Thai government has also now begun to provide support facilities for Thai women who marry foreign men abroad through its embassies and consulates. One Thai university researcher suggests that the level of inward investment into Thailand and future relationships abroad, could in the future, have a very positive effect not only on the Thai economy but in the overall development of Thailand both economically, politically and culturally.

Dating

Dating is a part of human mating process whereby two people meet socially for companionship. beyond the level of friendship. or with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or marriage. It can be a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by the couple. While the term has several meanings, it usually refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple.

History [ edit ]

Dating as an institution is a relatively recent phenomenon which has mainly emerged in the last few centuries. From the standpoint of anthropology and sociology. dating is linked with other institutions such as marriage and the family which have also been changing rapidly and which have been subject to many forces, including advances in technology and medicine. As humans have evolved from hunter-gatherers into civilized societies and more recently into modern societies, there have been substantial changes in the relationship between men and women, with perhaps the only biological constant being that both adult women and men must have sexual intercourse for human procreation to happen. [ 3 ]

Humans have been compared to other species in terms of sexual behavior. Neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky constructed a reproductive spectrum with opposite poles being tournament species. in which males compete fiercely for reproductive privileges with females, and pair bond arrangements, in which a male and female will bond for life. [ 4 ] According to Sapolsky, humans are somewhat in the middle of this spectrum, in the sense that humans form pair bonds, but there is the possibility of cheating or changing partners. [ 4 ] These species-particular behavior patterns provide a context for aspects of human reproduction. including dating. However, one particularity of the human species is that pair bonds are often formed without necessarily having the intention of reproduction. In modern times, emphasis on the institution of marriage, generally described as a male-female bond, has obscured pair bonds formed by same-sex and transsexual couples, and that many heterosexual couples also bond for life without offspring, or that often pairs that do have offspring separate. Thus, the concept of marriage is changing widely in many countries.

Historically, marriages in most societies were arranged by parents and older relatives with the goal not being love but legacy and "economic stability and political alliances", according to anthropologists. [ 5 ] Accordingly, there was little need for a temporary trial period such as dating before a permanent community-recognized union was formed between a man and a woman. While pair-bonds of varying forms were recognized by most societies as acceptable social arrangements, marriage was reserved for heterosexual pairings and had a transactional nature, where wives were in many cases a form of property being exchanged between father and husband, and who would have to serve the function of reproduction. Communities exerted pressure on people to form pair-bonds in places such as Europe ; in China. according to sociologist Tang Can, society "demanded people get married before having a sexual relationship" [ 6 ] and many societies found that some formally recognized bond between a man and a woman was the best way of rearing and educating children as well as helping to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings regarding competition for mates.
