I saw a comment on YouTube that I felt was powerful and worth pondering over even for just a moment.
"Give a man a home, a wife, and kids, and you give him something worth fighting for - you give him something that will keep him going every day out there in the world since he knows what he's coming home to"
Martin Luther King Jr.: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Getting a good Muslim lady as a wife becoming difficult this days,,,,Still believe to fine one soon

Marriage isn't about finding someone you can live with...
It's about finding someone you CAN'T live without.
But here's my question for everyone:
What's ONE small daily habit that makes a marriage strong?
Not big things. Small things.
For me: Saying "Alhamdulillah for you" to your spouse before sleeping.
Gratitude keeps hearts soft.

May Allah bless every home with peace. Ameen 🤲
Let's be honest for a moment.
A lot of profiles say, "I'm serious about marriage." Great. That's exactly what I was looking for too.
So I updated my profile to make things simple: if we're both serious, let's have a brief conversation, and if things seem reasonable, you can speak with my mother. No endless chatting, no wasting time.
Recently, I matched with someone who appreciated my direct approach. She even mentioned how refreshing it was compared to the usual conversations she was having. Things seemed promising, so our families got involved.
Then the conversation took a strange turn.
I'm a widower. My wife passed away. Naturally, anyone can ask respectful questions about that part of my life. I have no issue explaining what happened and answering reasonable concerns.
But instead, questions started coming up like, "Can we speak to the other party?" The other party? My late wife passed away.
I genuinely didn't know how to respond to that. It felt inappropriate and insensitive. Asking me about my past is fair. Wanting to investigate a deceased person as if this were some kind of background check crossed a line for me.
What confused me even more was that the profile strongly suggested she made her own decisions. Yet when it came time to make one, everything seemed to move backwards.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but if someone says they're serious about marriage, I expect honesty, clarity, and a willingness to move forward when things make sense. Not endless doubts, mixed signals, or finding new reasons to avoid making a decision.
I'm not saying this applies to everyone. There are definitely sincere people out there.
But experiences like this do make you wonder: how many people are genuinely looking for marriage, and how many are simply looking for the idea of it?
