Marriage is a social institution as old as the human race itself. It may be defined as a relation between a man and a woman who is recognized by custom or law and involves certain rights and duties, both in the case of the parties entering the Union, and in case of the children born.
The Quran tells us the clear guidelines for marriage. One of the main things which a Muslim should look for his/her spouse is a similarity in religion.
Allah has created the husband the protector and the most responsible person in the relationship of Nikah. Husband is better in rational thinking than the wife in many cases.
Islam allows a man to marry four wives at the same time, but there are some limitations too. Islam prohibited men from marrying some specific women
Marriage is a part of faith and a part of Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H). Marriage is one of the biggest decisions that a person takes in life. As this decision directly impacts on the future of two people, so it must be taken after proper considerations.
Marriage is a team effort and Muslim husbands and wives should both understand this. Marriage is not just a set of wedding functions that our society has come to believe but it is a lifetime of commitment and love
The intentions on marriage and the intentions in marriage are different from each other but are equally important in Islam. For all Muslims, the intentions they have on marriage should be good and pure and must show that they take this institute as a very important one and strive to enter in it with a pure heart.
Sure, a successful marriage takes giving importance to the big things in your relationship like finances, the house, the kids but have you ever stopped and taken notice of the small things in your marriage? Or rather have you stopped and noticed the tiny things that make your spouse who they are.
There are lots of things we can do to our marriages as Muslims to make them work out. We can try to make them happy marriages (which is the first thing we think of when we enter into this union), we try to make it a content marriage and we try to make it a successful marriage.
Increasingly in the world we are seeing a rising trend of marriages failing and divorces occurring. There is great concern on why couples are choosing to separate from each other rather than work out their differences.
