Re: Men shortage
That struck something deep within me. I’m thankful for being able to grow up in a family where good examples were set. When my dad married my mother, she was straight out of high school and he was a masters student. Years after working in companies, my dad realised he wanted his own company. Through out that time, my mom was a house wife and never wanted to go out and work. But the second he started his own work, my mom was all for stepping up to the plate and helping him out. What was even more inspiring was that he not only taught her how things around the office worked but also regularly took her input. Us kids were in junior high at the time and my mom not only spectacularly handled us kids, her home but also did well at work. For someone not that educated, she came above it all and killed many stereotypes that resided in the minds of the men in my extended family.
Now when my parents look for rishtas for me, they know that i would like a life exactly like my moms. That i would like a house hold and have a job. I’m a pharmacist by career and it’s definitely not easy but if there’s anything i know, its that my parents have taught me enough to know both. They take that mind set when they look for guys for me and i love them dearly for it. Inshallah, i hope for a partner like my dad has turned out for my mom. Like he has helped her better herself and she him, i hope i can do that for my future husband and he for me.
I pray you find someone exactly the way you look for them, although i think compromises are normal in life. Best of luck with it and Inshallah you’ll have good things ahead in life
