Love in Brazil

Olá, 

The hot temperature is not the only thing sizzling in Brazil; the intimacy and love burns deep within the steamy rich culture. 

Men in Brazil are master minds of love and affection.  Men take pride in initiating the affection and take control of the relationship quickly with a lucky lady.

In Brazil holding hands is a way of announcing that you are in a relationship.  If you do not hold hands when you are a “couple,” it is looked at as if you are hiding the relationship or that you are ashamed of the other person.  Holding hands in public shows that you are exclusive and that you are in a serious relationship.  This gesture stays strong even after a couple gets married.  10 fingers can be worth more than a thousand words in Brazil.

Brazilian couples and marriages are very loyal and strict.  Guys feel more confident about a woman's reputation and her potential for loyalty to him in a serious relationship when the woman does not go to bed on one of the first dates, and is more "traditional.”

Brazilian men and women tend to be much more “territorial” when it comes to relationships.  Couples are more appt to be exclusive all the time without talking to others of the opposite sex in public.  When couples become serious they spend every moment together making sure of the love for each other. 

By the time an engagement happens in Brazil, both families already know each other quite well.  Engagements often are quickly short before marriage.  Each person has been "adopted" by the other's family, the girl becomes best friends with her fiancé’s mom and the man “hangs out” with her dad on a regular basis.

Before a couple gets married they exclusively date anywhere from 3 to 10 years, and must be accepted by the other family.

Love in Brazil is very traditional compared to the United States.  Brazilians are aware and loyal to their own morals and to look for the people that share those morals.  Both Brazil and the United States are big enough and the people are diverse enough to accommodate you and your specific traditions within your family.

 Love in Brazil stresses to be happy with who you are and then find someone that compliments and completes you.  The affection you get from the person you love never ceases in Brazil.
