U said we should live by the book .. I said no one lives by the book
Well, today, they have concluded that mutual understanding and compatibility is very important for healthy relationship.
Those who married for love and got divorced did not plan to get divorced. Their incompatibility and not being on the same page, same wavelength, were the main causes for their divorce.
It happens everywhere.
Islam will prevail, a promise made by the Creator of this universe:
[61:8]They desire to extinguish the light of Allah with the breath of their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, even if the disbelievers hate it.
[61:9]He it is Who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the Religion of truth, that He may cause it to prevail over all religions, even if those who associate partners with God hate it.
i am not for relationshop before marriage but i am also not for marrying blindly ...
i think two people getting marrried should be able to see each other, spend a little time together in a public place, talk about their life and goals... what they look for in a partner and what they don't see themselves compromising with. what their future plans are. i don't believe parents should be against this. ultimately its those two people geting married and spending all their life together... hopefully...
However, I must say from experience, that dating sucks! I was Christian for most of my life, and my parents always encouraged me to date. I had a "boyfriend" (I hate even saying that word) for 4 years and even then my parents were like "Oh you're so young, you should date more than one person". The mentality is horrible the way I was raised. I found Islam and broke up with him right away because he was Catholic and we no longer understood each other, and because it is haram.
But, I could say to those of you interested in ever dating, I carry a huge scar for it. It breaks my heart that my first kiss and love will not be with my husband. I don't even know who I will marry and I already feel like I will disappoint him. However, I repent to Allah to forgive me and miraculously He swt has helped me erase a lot of memories from my mind. But GUYS are a different story. Most guys in this society will have sex with up to 15 women before marriage. So, lets say your wife saves herself for you and perhaps she isn't the best in that area. You will sit there comparing her to what was once enjoyable with a previous girl, and eventually, you may seek out that girl or someone who can please you the way you once were. It may not even be sex, but even hugs and kisses and conversations.
Believe me, stay pure and save everything for your husband and wife. That way your bonds will be between just the two of you, and not you and many others. It will be special and unique.
I hate talking about my past, but I do it in hopes of enlightening people. I am seen as "tainted" because I have a past, although I didn't know any better. :'( According to white people, I am like mother theresa because I only dated once.
I know there is a double standard for men, they can do whatever they want (even have sex) and can still say they are a virgin. BUT, they should fear Allah swt and not do this anyway! They should also be nice to their future wife and be considerate that they will be depriving her of something she has saved for them. Its only fair to expect both to wait until marriage. Its so much more special and sacred.
