Re: Calling all happy married girls
Awww, what a lovely thread!! May Allah tallah continue to shower all your marriages’ with much blessings and happiness..!! This thread is a testament that good men with pure and clean hearts do exist in this world.
I've only been married for 18 months and I love my Husband tremendously. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love my Husband. If you had asked me 2 years ago if I ever wanted to get married, I would have adamantly said no... But my Husband changed all that.
Our marriage was an arranged one and the minute I saw him, I knew I would fall in love with him and get married. It was something about the way he looked at me (his eyes sparkled) and the way he smiled at me.
The first thing I noticed about my Husband was that he was very generous, had the utmost respect for his elders and had a big heart. I remember after our Nikkah, we were at his grandparents for dinner and one of the dishes was masala fish. I remember I picked up a piece of fish and I was about to eat it and he stopped me. He gave me a piece of fish and said "I've already taken out the bones for you". Throughout the meal he continued to take the bones out the fish before putting the fish in my plate. I was amazed that someone would do that for me, that, so soon after out Nikkah, he cared that much for me.
We have our ups and downs like any couple but my Husband always tries to make things right. He won't let me be naraaz with him for long. My Husband is my best friend too. He makes me laff so, so much; to the point that sometime my stomach hurts from all the laffing. I love him and how when he hugs me he kisses my forehead. I love how when I am getting ready for work, he will come up behind me and hug me. I love how when I'm unwell, he cares for me. I love him so much because he loves as I am and for who/what I am. I am not “beautiful” in the eyes of the world, but, I am Beautiful in **his **eyes and that’s what matters. He’s not perfect, let’s face it, no-one is, but I still love him in spite of his imperfections.
Sometimes when I'm alone at work, out grocery shopping or driving in the car, I silently give thanks to Allah tallah for giving me such a wonderful loving Husband. Alhamdullilah!
I also give thanks for giving me such wonderful in laws, Alhamdullilah. I've never really had much of a "father" growing up. But my FIL has given me more love in 18 months than my "father" ever did in 27 years. I finally have someone I can call Abu and mean it!! My MIL is amazing alhamdulllah. She's always looking out for me and taking care of me even though she’s thousands of miles away. When I miscarried (a pregnancy) and I told her over the phone, I cried. She started crying too and told me not to cry. She said to me if you want me to come over to you (in UK) I will. She rang almost everyday for 2 weeks to see how I was. That’s when I realised that she loved me just like she loves her daughter.
My SIL is younger than me but she’s great. She has a little bit of an attitude but what teenager doesn’t? I hope I can be a good role model for her. My 2 BIL’s are so, so, funny. In fact all my in-laws are funny. They must have some sort of funny gene that runs in the family. My older BIL looks after my family (Mum, Bro and Sis) as if it were his own. (He’s also married to my other Sis).
My most romantic memory of my Husband was just after we got married. There is a house that they are building next to their current house. We arranged that when the electricity went out we would meet up at the top (3rd floor – open top) of the building. We went up and we just talked underneath the stars and moon. He put his arms around me as it was cold and I couldn’t help but pull in closer to him… and then he pulled out from his pocket a beautiful red rose for me. It was such a surprise. To this day I still have that exact rose!!
My Husband is also my rock. When my Sister died last year he was there for me all the time. Comforted me when I cried, held my hand when I went to the grave, held me when I went to sleep crying my eyes out. I’m so glad Allah tallah brought him into my life before that time because if He hadn’t, I really don’t think I would have been able to cope. I could not have got thru the pain of losing my sister on my own. I would have broken down and never been able to pull myself together. Even now when I cry over the child that we lost (miscarriage) he always says the right thing, wipes the tears from my eyes and brings a smile to my face.
I thank Allah (swt) from the bottom of my heart for giving us (and all you lovely ladies) such wonderful, beautiful (inside and out) caring Husbands! I truly am blessed and he is the best thing that ever happened to me. I can’t wait to make him a Daddy (inshAllah) and give my in-laws lots of Grandchildren to spoil..Inshallah!!
