MailBrides.org was created to offer a fundamentally new perspective on cross-cultural dating and, in particular, the mail-order bride industry.
Our team, led by chief editor Peggy Freeman, editor – Cathy Beal, and chief author Jacob Lucas, works to dispel the myths and analyze the phenomenon of mail-order brides as is without relating to the relics of the past. We strive to deliver effective solutions for everyone who’s going to date internationally.

✏️ Author — Jacob Lucas

Dating recommendations you can see on MailBrides.org are mostly given by Jacob Lucas — our expert, author, and one of the world’s most-known dating coaches. Jacob has a big name, multiple regalia and rewards, and years of experience working in the sphere of relationships and dating, helping thousands of people find their love or solve current problems with their partners.
Though Jacob focuses more on his private sessions with clients worldwide, he also helps thousands of people even without having direct conversations with them. He has been featured in “Daily Mail,” “Independent,” “New York Post,” and other news publications, as well as live TV and multiple podcasts.
Now, Jacob helps our readers, too. As he says, even a relationship with someone from your own cultural environment may not be easy to handle and maintain, so understanding the processes in cross-cultural relationships was a challenge to him.
After deep research and work with couples with different social and cultural backgrounds, Jacob could indicate the main destructive patterns, as well as the main healthy and proactive behaviors that help people turn their differences into their main strengths. Now, he shares this knowledge with the visitors of Mail-Brides.org.
Jacob emphasizes that as we live in the era of globalization, international dating will get more and more common, and we need to develop successful strategies to make such relationships healthier, more satisfying, and, most importantly, 100% stigma-free. That’s what he does in his in-depth guides.
✏️ Chief Editor — Peggy Freeman

Peggy Freeman is a licensed therapist currently helping hundreds of people walk their paths to self-discovery and healing. She works both with individuals and couples and offers effective solutions to problems we all inevitably face in our lives.
Though Peggy admits that face-to-face therapy is important, she also notes that we all must work to improve our knowledge and awareness of common difficulties of self-cognition and building a relationship not only on an individual basis but also collectively. That’s why Peggy chose to work for us — she says that’s a new mission for her, and that’s how she can help more people all across the world.
She manages the work of our authors and helps take a fundamentally new look at the phenomenon of cross-cultural relationships and marriages. Her goal is not just to distinguish some common patterns of people building such relationships. She prefers to focus on their personal struggles, fears, and doubts that prevent them from making healthier choices and giving advice that gets to the root of all difficulties.
This, along with statistics we uncover and research that our authors perform, allows us to deliver the principally deeper, more meaningful, and life-changing content that helps people find love and not lose it over time.
Experts we trust:

Company culture and values
Our company was created to praise cooperation, thinking outside the box, love without borders, and a thoughtful approach to self-cognition and comprehension of other people around us. Our values helped us to become who we are, and here is the ground we stand on.
- We’re saying no to stereotypical thinking. It would be impossible for us to create the content we create without getting rid of stereotypes and myths. We’re not going to lie — it’s a never-ending process, as we can’t just forget all the principles and values we’ve been taught since childhood. But every day, we try to view the world without confirmation bias—facts we always knew that turned out to be myths and prejudices. Our team double-checks the information, and we prefer to rely on facts and unbiased information rather than on anything else.
- We praise differences and equality. The more we learn about different cultures and the more our chief editor shares her knowledge of how the human mind really works, the more we understand how similar we are. Borders, as well as different cultures, do exist, but inequality is something we should try to get rid of at all costs.
- We believe that team bonding helps us get better. We’re not trying to become “a family.” We have families at home, but we’re doing our best to create a friendly, open, and encouraging environment for all our staff. Our team members have strong emotional bonds because we let them exchange their opinions, encourage self-expression and mutual support, and always praise new ideas. We get better together, and that’s our main strength.
Without all that, we couldn’t have been working in this segment. We’re happy that these principles work for us, allowing us not only to create content for you but also to really enjoy the process.
Harmonious collaboration
We realize that we can’t deliver outstanding content to our visitors without cooperating with individuals and organizations who can share their experiences and knowledge. Undoubtedly, we are ready to always share our experiences and knowledge in exchange.
We always monitor the market in search of new interesting offers. We cooperate with dating platforms and members of the websites, interview users to learn more about their experiences, and do our own research on how people view international dating.
Also, we cooperate with companies that perform studies on topics that are related to cross-cultural relationships and exchange our research results.
With such an approach, we were able to create multiple guides with relevant information that can help our readers understand how things really work in a certain country or on a certain website. We help our readers use the best approaches to building cross-cultural relationships and overcome the potential difficulties of long-distance relationships.
Future plans and growth
We have big plans for the future, and now, we’re going to focus on the following:
- Expanding our mail order bride geography to new countries and cultures
- Creating more useful blog articles on the main problems in cross-cultural communication and relationships at large
- Expanding the team and hiring professionals—new experts, designers, marketers—to create even better content for you
- Hiring a part-time immigration lawyer to deliver the most accurate and up-to-date information on immigration rules for people from different countries
We’re grateful to our team for their hard work and dedication, and we expect it to grow further and get even stronger than ever before. We’re also grateful to our readers who share our content, leave comments, and ask questions — you help us become better, too!
