Many single Muslims in this day and age fear that they will not be happy in their marriage once they enter the institution. The demands of today’s world will get to them and they will not be able to secure their relationship
As Muslims Allah has asked us to seek the best of the best; in our personal as well as our professional lives. He has asked us to also do our best so that we have no regrets or no complaints when we meet our Creator. And we should pray to Allah for the best. This includes who we marry
Marriage is a relationship in which both the spouses should make sure not to take the other for granted. Many of us deny ever doing such a thing with a spouse but most of us are infact guilty of the same.
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.
Marriages in Islam are meant to be one of the most important and worked on relationships and the husband and wife have a great responsibility to make that happen.
A healthy marriage is bound to have bad days along with good days. That is why it is called a healthy marriage and not a perfect marriage. Because Allah knows that perfect marriages do not exist and he does not expect us to achieve perfection in our marriages. Just like human beings are flawed so is the relationship of marriage between two different human beings. However, we must make sure that it is not by carrying out a balancing act appropriately.
