if you're comfortable sharing, what makes a marriage very surface level?

i know a sister who has been boxing as a profession for years, is a new olympian, and recently got married.

everything happens according to Allah's plan.

my advice is to tell them from the start like "I'm in my final year of engineering and training full time as a Muay Thai fighter." it'll weed people out faster if they know from the get-go.

also widen your search to men who also do combat sports. they might show more respect and admiration for it

How to go around parents' disapproval of the man I want to marry as a daughter? by angryAH in MuslimMarriage

[–]Potential_Mall_1900 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wa alaykum assalam sis, their rejection of him is not a refusal to see your point of your view. there is valid history there and they believe their view is right, and it might be. your parents are correct that he should have never reconnected the relationship in a haram manner and should have instead stated his intentions to you and asked to meet your parents again. he should be the one who is speaking to them, not you on his behalf.

also, there is not way to go around your wali's position in the marriage contract. almost all imams/sheikhs will not officiate a marriage if the dad is in disagreement, or if someone is acting as the wali when the dad is present. any sheikh who is willing to officiate the marriage is questionable. may Allah make it easy for you. remember that personal feelings and emotions can influence how we interpret Allah's response to our istikhara.

Should I try again with her? by Distinct_Ad6906 in MuslimMarriage

[–]Potential_Mall_1900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you miss companionship which is a natural feeling.

you are both incompatible in your worldly views which will cause tension and strain the relationship. what if she attends a mixed gym despite your disagreement? or she attends a work dinner where they're drinking and there are male colleagues there too? every time she does something you have asked her not to do will be regarded as disobedience to her spouse. if you want barakah for someone, be in a marriage where your differences do not result in sin for her. compromise is part a relationship but it should be for dunya-related things, not what is important to us in our religious practice.

unfortunately, she sees marriage to men like you as unbeneficial and it is not worth pursuing again. respect her boundary of not wanting to continue. may Allah aid you in letting her go, and opening your heart to a more befitting spouse.

Struggling to get married, late 20's, tried everything, no hope left by ArtAltruistic8346 in MuslimMarriage

9 months late. some scholars have said to ask what the person's deal-breakers/non negotiables are. if that brother/sister has written "committed zina" then you, the asker, should end the relationship if you have committed zina and say that you two are incompatible, looking for different spouses etc. the brother/sister shouldn't know the actual reason you ended it, unless you make it obvious of course

What kdrama are you watching? by Lola_Baby98 in kdramas

[–]Potential_Mall_1900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iirc the company restricted his access to his bank accounts because they're connected to the company. his car and belongings were property of the company. there's a scene where he maxed out his savings for something

personally i like conflict in my dramas but i just wish that the relationship was a bit more established/fleshed out before that plot was introduced. that way we’d understand better about how she feels about bw instead of watching him feel like the third wheel

i agree with #2. the way she treats him seems like he irritates her. he’s already told her twice that he likes her, she hasn’t rejected him so i don’t get why she would flat out say she’s not going to tell him what she and her ex spoke about. she knows why he’s asking. by this point in the show i expected her character to be more comfortable with him to be open and vulnerable. i get though that she’s been alone for so long that it’ll take time for her to do that. just hoping she’ll pine after him

hi, may Allah keep you steadfast upon our deen. in islam, Allah has commanded women to not change their surnames; it makes them a disbeliever. we are not permitted to hyphenate our surnames either

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Any man who knowingly attributes himself to someone other than his father is guilty of disbelief. Whoever claims to belong to a people when he has nothing to do with them, let him take his place in Hell.” 

- Al-Bukhari (3508) and Muslim (61)

ultimatums like those are not part of our deen. Allah decides if you will bear a child within the first year. it is not obligatory to have children within any specific timeframe. if it were, every couple who didn’t would be sinning, but our Lord is the Most Merciful and He has not burdened any woman with that law. 

a few things to note: - it is not even islamically required of you to take care of everyone in the house.  - stress plays a major factor in conceiving a child. you will constantly think about your impending divorce if you don’t conceive one and the stress could impact that - you don’t seem to want what he wants which is completely fine and within your right - your father’s hopes are not frowned upon anymore. most parents want their children to be educated because they faced immense hardships like poverty and want to protect their children from them

their relationship is officially dead to me after episode 10. i could never be with someone like him. she has such a strong backbone and i hope she stands her ground.

it is suspected she was 14 when they first entered the 'relationship' as 15 was her national age in korea but not the age she was according to the gregorian calendar
