We decided to find out how the life of Icelanders differs from ours. Relationships Icelanders almost never go on dates, they usually get to know each other in bars and immediately start dating. When young people like each other, they get together. The country’s residents do not marry immediately, often after the birth of children (if they had not separated by then). There is no condemnation for failed marriages and loneliness. First, there aren’t that many Icelanders, and it’s not easy to find a second half. Secondly, the climate does not prepare romance.
