Re: Proposals
dear Aisha in Dubai,
personal honesty of intention and a will to gracefully fortifying a relationship through marriage, is the first step to a noble bonding between two people as a potential couple.
for courtship to be successful, anyone who has their honesty and self respect with them, be it a woman or a man, would not keep confusing each other especially not degrade each other while being confused within own selves.
being committed and not relinquishing this commitment in a developing relationship with an honest to God intent of marrying a person who you speak with, and/or get to know seriously, ought to lead to a marriage.
otherwise, hypocrasy and disappointment of someone's powerless ness, dishonesty and hurtful nature is all that is left as an impression which initself is terribly painful and saddening.
as a religious example, even, Prophet Mohammed's first marriage was an outcome of a woman's proposal.
i wish F and S, a happily married life, in the times to be. amen.
best,
Dushwari
