RE: THE INDISPENSABLE ROLE OF LOVE
Hello Amber. š„°
Philosophy? Well, if thatās what you think of it then Iād say okay, hehe.
Anyways, marriage is something that wasnāt designed by man like I mentioned, so the moment we try to make it work with our ideas, it is not going to get any better trust me.
I understand that people change and that is why the agreement anyone who wishes to get married should be focused on having is one that concerns what their idea of marriage is. Know how your partner views marriage, if he doesnāt recognize the one who instituted marriage in the first place, then I donāt see why you should still go ahead with that marriage because you are definitely going to have problems and that is when making these other agreements start coming it but interestingly, that still wonāt solve the problem.
Iām not married, so there is no practical evidence for you that all I have said is how it should be but then, for me, I believe marriage is something that requires faith even in the midst of so many uncertainties. It is not a place promised to be all rosy, there are definitely going to be thorns somewhere. And like I concluded, when it comes to marriage, as much as we can, we should remove our human perspectives from it because we didnāt ordain it and also, there will always be something that makes sense in every perspectives of ours.
Thanks for your thought provoking input. š„°
Perhaps I should have said perspective instead of philosophy. It happens when we communicate in second language. Don't mind, please.
I also believe so. Marriage is a gift to humans on earth by God Himself.
Recently I judged a LOH contest. From there I realized Christianity has a different take on about marriage than Islam. In Christian faith, once married means to protect it until death. There is no way to get out of the relationship. Correct me if I am wrong here.
In Islam also, marriage is considered really sacred. Nevertheless, it allows to end the relationship and there are proper and detailed guidelines about how this relationship should be ended respectfully and what kind of facilities the man is supposed to provide the woman. If you are interested in knowing Islamic perspective here is the link of a video lecture
Let me tell you one thing here. While Qur'anic guidelines are pretty clear about divorce, our culture and I think all the Muslim cultures see divorce as ugly. Moreover, I think no culture follows them as they are given to us. Some individuals might be following those guidelines on their own.
About my perspective on marriage, I also want to mention that it is not necessary for any of the partner be a bad person in order for a marriage to not work. Sometimes, two really nice people can also not get along with each other.
