Specially since it is what I see ...I love the post. Specially since it is what I see everyday. In a place that is so hard to actually meet someone from the same background people feel like their options are very limited and think that they should consider any marriage offer that comes their way. They also feel like they have to please Abaya"Mom" and Aba"Dad" and they look at the list that their family puts forward(Rich guy with a house and a good reputation even though lord knows what he's been up to) rather than the qualities they want that person to possess like your list. I would also like to say that the pressure starts when we are so young that for most people it's easy to give in. Happiness in marriages are very rare and it really is sad to see because for me my marriage is more than just a contract to my husband. It is a partnership in which we both work hard together to achieve our goals. It is our promise that we try to live up to everyday that we will not let eachother down. We do not have certain roles in the house and you will find him doing more house work than I do. But how many people have that? The answer ofcourse is that it's not a lot of people. So those who find themselves pressured should not give in because like you said it's your life and you should live it the way you want. Your parents, Aunts, uncles, cousins...have their own lives to live so just be nice about it and say "Dua ushulugn"(Pray for me)when they start getting into your business. That should get them off your back trust me I know!Hayathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05282429719126580067noreply@blogger.com
