RedSea Posted May 27, 2006 Assalamu Calaykum, Greetings to all my beloved sisters in SOL's women's section. As the title of the thread states, marriage is very important thing in life. It makes the journey of life alot easier for both men and women, it provides comfort, joy, and most importantly children to leave behind to benefit us later on. Some of you might still be asking what exactly are my intentions for posting this. Well my intentions are nothing more than what you can already sense throught the writings which is to encourage and remind us all the importance of marriage. Our prophet salalahu calayhi wasalam once said, "Yaa macsharal Shabaab, manistadaaca minkumul baa'a fal yatasawaj".Meaning , " O who you young udults, if you are able to get married, then get married". In this hadith, the prophet is encouraging us to get married at young age if we are able to take that responsibility and handle that duty. This means that you are able to provide your family with thier necessary needs etc. However, before one can get married, he/she must first find a partner in which he/she can share his orher future. The following things, I think are the most important things to look in a guy. Why pick only a guy? well because this is the women's section isn't in it? First the guy must be-- 1. responsible ( able to handle family duties) 2. good character (not an aggresive, but patient person) 3. Knowledgeable (knows the rights of his family upon him provided by the religion offcourse) 4. Iman ( most important choice; must have faith in Allah) 5. finally, he must be of YOUR CHOICE ( partner which is chosen for you won't be a good idea, Kind a like a dress someone else bought you;possible that you may not like the size,color, or the fabric, same applies to marriage). Finally, if you are still waiting to get married, just remember not to wait for too long. Peace. assalamu calaykum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubacka Posted May 28, 2006 Salaam I know marriage is a good thing and completes half your deen but ppl are different...some mature quickly than others and I don't think rushing into marriage even with good intentions is a good thing for everyone to do, especially if you want your marriage to last a lifetime rather than a few years... make sure you do your research and make dua...

Johnny B Posted May 28, 2006 Though living together without beeing married to each other is religiously forbidden, bringing a goodlooking strange in your life is not a better alternative, so how to go about? A virtual test marriage? A period where you consider yourself married while infact you´re not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Animal Farm Posted May 28, 2006 You need to be mature that is for sure, and also you need stability, and money - because it is the number one cause for divorce in north america. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont want to go there just yet Have no fear atheer, evolution has something called the xaax-factor to trick you into marriage and all the "TOO many Responsibilities!" that come with it. You may not want to go "there" now but you will. It's just the way the cookie crumbles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Modesty Posted June 2, 2006 The reason as to why I choose not to get married is mainly because of the whole process of marriage and expectations especially from our culture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
