Re: future spouse, being Namazi
I read somewhere that reading namaz 5 times a day was a gentle reminder that we shall one day return to our maker and nothing is possible unless he wills.
My thought process at the time of finding a spouse was if he is a practising Muslim we will be better Muslims together and if he can get one of the pillars spot on we can work on the others together too. Waking up for Fajr in summer to be shows a persons commitment to their afterlife and their solid belief. If someone cannot get up to do 5 namaz a day why would they bother doing all the little stuff like give to charity, spend time with their family...etc etc etc.
Each to their own, and this is my opinion only but marrying someone who wasn't a practicing Muslim is opening up the doors to further issues down the road e.g. when you have kids will you force them to go Mosque even though daddy doesn't/mummy doesn't practice at home?
