Raising happy and healthy children with a strong Muslim identity starts with choosing the right partner. A partner who shares your same vision and wants to work with you to create a happy loving home with harmony between all its members.
Unfortunately, nowadays, many Muslim homes are filled with family problems and many Muslim children grow up in toxic environments, negatively affecting them physically, mentally, and spiritually.
A lot of the issues between couples are due to misunderstandings, ineffective communication, and differences in their family vision. They no longer bring tranquility to one another and continue to live miserable separate lives or end up divorced.
Did you know that the period with one of the largest rates of divorce is the first two years of marriage?
So how do you choose the right partner? The partner whom you understand, can communicate with, and share the same vision.
The answer is simple.
Talking.
But not just talking.
Rather talking about the topics that matter; the way they practice their religion, how they deal with finances, their character, their family, and education.
It is truly surprising how many people end up marrying one another without knowing each other’s expectations, or who is going to be paying the bills!
So before saying I do, talk to your potential spouse. Know what you are looking for and what are your definite no-nos.
To help you, we have created a list of 75+ marriage questions to ask before getting married. Complement this with Istikharah prayer and God willingly, you will be guided to the right partner for you.
