All in all, the fact that marrying Slovenian mail order brides is less mainstream than marrying girls from Ukraine doesn’t mean that they have less to offer. In particular, Slovenian ladies are:

• no less beautiful than other Slavic women but less obsessed with looks
• family- and marriage-minded, but more focused on their self-development until they turn 28-30
• more tolerant, open-minded, and much more friendly than people in the ‘mainstream’ mail order bride countries in Europe

Basically, these are the reasons why more and more western men start looking for Slovenian brides online and in real life. In this guide, we’ll talk about the pros and cons of such a decision, costs of finding and dating Slovenian mail order brides, ways to find a reputable dating platform and protect yourself from scams.

3. In 2011, in Slovenia, a woman aged 15+ had on average 1.51 children.

Why do beautiful Slovenian women become mail order brides?

What exactly can make a Slovenian bride start looking for foreign men and marrying one of them? Here are some new and previously mentioned factors that usually make them take this step:

• Open-mindedness, curiosity, and the desire to find a better partner in the western countries
• Desire to find a man who’ll have more responsibilities than a woman, a man she’ll be able to rely on (Slovenia is a pretty matriarchal country, but women usually just have more duties than rights and power)
• Failed romances (the divorce rate in the country is pretty high, and many Slovenian wives start looking for future partners overseas)
• Strong motivation to start a family when they turn 30

As you can see, a Slovenian woman will hardly immigrate to earn more money or live in a better country—Slovenia is a developed European country, so Slovenian women for marriage look for foreign grooms for other personal and social reasons. But how to find a Slovenian wife, and how much will a man who’s going to do it will spend?

How much does it cost to marry a Slovenian wife?

Of course, there is no fixed price for a Slovenian girl (we’ll talk about legal aspects in more detail below). In most cases, a man who wants to find, date, and marry a Slovenian lady spends money on online dating services and trips to Slovenia.

First, let’s talk about online dating in more detail. The total cost men usually pay largely depends on the decisions they make—from the dating site they choose to the number of Slovenian brides they approach and how long they stay on the site before they decide to meet their Slovenian mail order brides in real life.

For example, those who choose sites like JollyRomance will spend from $0.2 on a credit, and if they find a special Slovenian girl pretty fast and use it for a year, they’ll spend around $1,000 in total. Sites like SingleSlavic are a bit more expensive but have more advanced features, so a man with the same dating strategy is likely to spend around $1,200. Still, $1,000 is the average cost of 1 year of premium online dating.
