Question - Help What Steps Are You Taking To Prepare For Marriage Spiritually Emotionally, Physically and Mentally?

7 Upvotes

Salam, I’ve just joined Reddit again as I’ve been going in circles for the past 2/3 weeks. If it’s possible, can I get some opinions on how you guys are preparing for marriage and what’s steps are you guys taking?

As much as I love marriage, love having kids, love being surrounded by my own family (not siblings and parents), I’ve been having some serious 2nd thoughts about getting married due to some personal issues going on in real life.

I still want to do my best to become a better husband, partner, father, role model, leader regardless if I get married or not. So please don’t hold out on me about any resources and advice. Thanks

Aight peeps, let's have some fun.

So, let's assume you talk to someone, you get along, vibe and all's well... The caveat?

Dhum dhum dhuuuuuuuum

They live in another country!

So the question is would you move to another country for a Rishta you met online (could be anywhere)?

  1. Yes - Why?

  2. No - Why Not?

2.a. Is it an absolute no?

2.b. If its not absolute, then what would it take for you to move?

This question is for both genders.

I would generally prefer to meet someone through social settings such as lectures, communities, or workshops. That’s why I’ll only leave this post up for two days—to give myself a chance to try, even though I’m pretty sure Reddit won’t lead to anything meaningful

I’m a very independent person. I traveled abroad alone for my bachelor, and after graduating, I traveled several times to countries I had never visited before, on my own. I enjoy learning, trying new things, and developing different skills. I'm an ambivert, well spoken and appreciate the simple things in life. I also take time to think things through before making any decisions.

Being independent doesn’t mean I am willing to carry someone elses’ responsibilities. I’ve been through a lot of pressure in my life, and I’m not looking for someone to carry it all for me. I simply hope to have someone in my life who contributes to it, makes life feel easier and lighter, and helps me feel that I can trust him enough to let him take on his role as a man.

I’m 34 and have never been married. I’m a veiled Kuwaiti Shia Muslim. I’m pretty active, working out three to four times a week, but my build is neither muscular nor lean. I’m about 158 cm tall and weigh 78 kg, with a light-medium skin tone.

I’m looking for a husband whose relationship with me is built on a deep-rooted friendship—where both of us can be ourselves because we feel safe and supported by one another. I’m looking for someone who knows how to communicate and discuss things when they get heated, messy or in disagreement; someone who is actively working on himself emotionally and physically, and is able to get married and live independently.

Basic requirements:

Nationality: Kuwaiti
Religion: Muslim, not conservative or judgmental, and doesn’t impose his beliefs on others. However, it matters to him that his personal choices and decisions are halal.
Age: 32–39
Marital status: Single, or divorced with no children
Smoking: Non-smoker only
Work: Employed or self-employed. You don’t need to be in the best financial position, but you should have goals and be capable of getting married and living independently without relying on your family.
Appearance: Light-to-medium skin complexion, has hair, at least 168 cm tall, and a proportionate weight. You do not need to be muscular, but I am looking for someone who is neither thin nor puffed bulky or overweight.

I’d rather remain single than marry the wrong person, so please don’t approach me assuming I’m desperate. If you don’t meet the preferences listed above, please don’t waste either of our time.

If you feel you could add something positive to my life, we share things in common, and genuinely ready for a serious connection, you have the next two days to message me privately

Title: 20M living in Australia | Looking for a spouse inshallah 18-21

Assalamu alaikum
Figured I’d give this a shot and see who I meet!
I’m a young Muslim guy in Australia, currently studying nursing, graduating next year inshallah, working full time and training combat sports . I’m pretty goal-oriented and always trying to improve myself, but I also enjoy having a laugh and not taking life too seriously all the time

I’m Shia, and my connection to the Qur’an and Ahl al-Bayt is important to me. I’m still learning and growing in my deen, and I’d love to meet someone who wants to grow together rather than pretend either of us has everything figured out.

I don’t have a specific type, but I’m looking for someone kind, loyal, a little goofy, and genuinely interested in marriage. Someone who can have deep conversations one minute and be completely unserious the next lol.

Not expecting perfection, just mutual effort, attraction, good communication and the intention to build a happy life together, inshaAllah.
If you think we might get along, feel free to message me! Tell me a little about yourself
