Bismillah
All praises belong to Allah, the One and Only God Who creates, controls, and gives provision to his creatures.
Also peace and blessing be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, the seal of the messengers of God.
Hi, there. You probably don't know me, and neither do I. But, I just want to share my opinion and story. It may be a long post, but it may give u a new perspective, insyaa Allah.
Well, in my early twenties, I had a thought of getting married on my twenty fifth birthday.
You probably have such feeling like mine. On my twenty fourth, qodarullah I got some problems in my life. Thus, I wanted to get married soon to have a "new" story in my life. In other words, I wanted to get away from those problems. (FYI, I hadn't learnt Islam well that time)
Moreover, my parents were not young anymore since I am the last child in my family. So my willing to get married soon was in another level that time cause I wanted my parents to see me getting married and having children before they die.
But yes, this life has Possessor. We have Possessor. Human proposes and God disposes. We cannot force our destiny.
Even if we don't get what we want, life must go on, right? We still have to live, don't we? Cause life is not only about getting married by the way.
And now, I'll be 28 years old in Oct and still single. Am I sad? Am I angry? Not at all! Ah, probably I was! But after learning Islam, I don't think I am.
I am really grateful for Allah. Indeed, He does know the best for me.
Allah has decreed our destiny and of course it is the best for us since we don't know the best while He knows.
If I think about my past years, I don't think that was the right time for me to get married. I was so childlike and not mature enough to be a wife or a mom. I still looked for a happiness, romance, etc in a marriage that time.
All praises belong to Allah. My perspective about marriage was changed.
About two years ago, I started studying my religion, Islam, based on the Quran and sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessing be upon him also listening to marriage couple experiences. Honestly, those things not only change my perspective about marriage, but also my general perspective about this life, masyaa Allah.
It is true that we wanna get a happiness in a marriage. But the fact that there will be not only happiness in marriage life is another things to be considered. If we only expect good things, we will get more disappointed when bad things happened.
Marriage is another level of life. How perfect our spouse will be, there'll be still problems we get. Life is a journey. It is a test and there'll always be problems all the way. Even in the reality, no one is perfect. So how will we suppose to have a perfect life in a marriage?
Here, the intention of getting married has the main role as a motivation when you wanna give up on your marriage. Thus, it's important for us to set our intention well before getting married.
What is your intention of getting married then?
