Re: Life after marriage
Not at all. But let’s be real here…you CHOSE to get married…no one forced you or put a gun to your head to do it. You made a choice to sign that dotted line and with that comes a lifestyle change. If you’re ready for that change, I say get married and if not then don’t. This goes for men and women.
You got married, your life and home are with your husband. Your first priority is your marriage. Even your parents will get that and back off on their own if they’re smart and want to see their daughter happy. Being married takes work and none of it is easy…it is a melding of two lives and that doesn’t happen overnight no matter how well you know someone before. Your finances, day to day routines, lifestyle, etc…everything down to your thought process has to change and become one independent unit. And its not a forced process…this is a natural one that happens with any and all couples…Muslim and non-Muslim. If you want it to work, you’ll be wise and give it time and attention. If you’re naive and immature, you’ll expect to get married and still chill at your parents’ house twice a week.
No two marriages are alike and couples are supposed to decide what works for them, the hubby wants freedom, she wants to spend time with family so FIL should butt out. A woman makes great sacrifices for a man and the man is supposed to do his best to keep her happy.
