Finding a marriage partner...

Sajid Iqbal โ€”

salaam

now if you're single and you want to get married...how do you go about finding a husband/wife?

you dont wanna go back home!
you dont wanna marry your cousin!
you dont wanna date!

so what do you do?

Those who are single here... how do you intend to find your marriage partner?

and those who are married how did you find yours?

I've always talked about setting up a revival matrimonial service.... and soon I'm thinking of setting up a matrimonial databse.... only because so many ppl out there cant find a compatible muslim marriage partner!

share your ideas pls...

my friend is getting married this summer insha allah, so im guessin cos she set the ball rollin, i'll be next soon enough ( ๐Ÿ™ )...why??? cos it just works tht way...none of my olders siblings were married, but as soon as my sister got married..BAM, BAM, BAM!
(BAM btw is the rest of them getting married)....so once im married ( a revvy user) it wont be long till one of you starts to hum #dum, dum da-dum....# :shock:

its already ended, pocahontas and her people didnt have gun, and as you can see from the bold bit...marriage does, you're done for...

we should create a topic "Bilan's bilans"

How does one know its time to get married? Well my brother is getting married soon and like I just feel that I want to get married too so I can abstain from sins BUT I doubt my parents will want me to get married bcause am still 21 and going to go in to my final year in uni, well I've heard I need to be fianancially stable and have a job so I could support my future wife...I am willing to get married to anyone who my parents are happy with, the question is just how do I convince dem am ready for marriage as am scared of approaching dem as I have never had an emotional or close family talks with them!

Just marry a rich girl, then you're sorted.

aww :/ Before assuming your parents won't let you, you should ask them. Or tell your brother how you feel, and get him to approach them? I imagine lots of asians feel how you feel cuz of the whole not being "emotional or close" with family. kinda sad really :/

rockyThat aint how Islam works!!!

What do you mean?

It does not prohibit it.

Why take the easy option in marrying a rich girl?

Because she's worth it?

Besides, that is not what you were saying before.

You were suggesting that somehow that goes against Islam.

That is the only reason I stepped in - you can't make such a suggestion and then not back it up.

It may be a strike against your self esteem and ego etc, but that is not Islam but personal preference or culture.

It is important to be able to differentiate between the two.

no problem/you're welcome for the advice ๐Ÿ™‚ and try and face your fears ๐Ÿ˜‰ I'm sure it won't be nearly as bad as your head makes it out to be! Honestly why does your head imagine the worst possible scenarios?!

There's no way for you to delete your account, unfortunately. Why do you want to delete your account, anyway?

@ BIlan: SNAP me?! now that is too advanced G-talk..please translate

@Rocky, thank you for being the ONLY one (ยฌ_ยฌ) who answered my Questions! inshallah if you talk to your parents they wont be half as scary.

dont delete your account, when you read the mag, you can alwasys comment on the different articles, and if you have any Q's etc... you can always post. ITs better than posting as anonymous, coz then we'd know "these Q's are from Rocky"

and dont feel dumb.. afterall, we all have something in common, Revival, so we cant be THAT bad.

ok, i shall shut up now.

feeling stupid is probably an important of the leraning process.

If you are like me and think you know everything, then the chances of you learning something diminish.

lool, so its more a case of you sharing ur oh so great wisdom?? :p

@ Lilly! snap isnt slang at all!!! 'To snatch or grasp suddenly and with eagerness' (from the dictionary ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

btw, my issue is, you find a potential partner,but what happens THEN to get to the stage of 2 people being married???? :s..confused.com!

what do you mean? Is this before the potential realises he is "the one"?
You ask him if he wants to marry you too?

love it!

I admire Gold diggers for all their hard work and enthusiasm.

That's what the Prophet ๏ทบ did but obviously he didn't marry Khadija because of her MONEY but it was her wealth that provided Islam good financial support for YEARS. geinus how it all worked out really.

It's called Allah's Qadr, beats all. anytime ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
