Assalamualaikum..
Dear students,
We met again for the second time. I thought you guys wont turn up.Instead the attendance was full house! A whopping 52 of you. Hehehe..let us see whether we can maintain that!
Hem...our topic that night was mostly on "What is marriage?"You still remember "mithaqan Ghalidan?" which means, a serious covenant (agreement) that should not be taken lightly. It is a legal agreement between man and woman through which both sides enjoy the rights and obligations as husband and wife.
Then, we also discussed the criteria in choosing spouses. Religion or Faith has always been the top priority followed by financial competence, compatibility, loving and beauty. She doesnt have to be as beautiful as Maya Karin -if you consider her as beautiful (well I think she is)or as charming as Robert Redford (him again?).Hem...lets see...do we have a Malay good looking man as an example?Hem...I dont know any except for Rosyam Nor (Sorry!).But again, beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder. At the end of the day, beauty is also only skin deep. Do you agree? As a future wife, you want someone whom you can respect, be a good leader, guide you and your children to the right path as stipulated in the Quran.
I shall end this posting with a few wonderful quotations:
"A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences". - Dave Meurer, "Daze of Our Wives"
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person".
- Mignon McLaughlin
"Soul-mates are people who bring out the best in you. They are not perfect but are always perfect for you". - Author Unknown
Do you have any other quotes to share? Whether they are your own or taken from other sources, I would surely welcome them. Thank you for taking time to visit this blog. I hope you learn something :-)

"All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership"
Ann Landers (1918 - 2002)

SUBSET OF LIFE
Together we come to a new life like a probability,
The future that we put into risk,
The journey like a sequence of life,
As we start at one point,
We move to another point,
Approach a point called infinite happiness,
We are trying to reach absolute maximum,
This love I believe is a subset of life that I'm looking for.

1) Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.514
author; Stephenie Meyer.
2) Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
In the beginning a flame, very pretty,
Often hot and fierce,
But still only light and flickering.
As love grows older,
Our hearts mature
And our love becomes as coals,
Deep-burning and unquenchable.
~ by Bruce Lee ~

~George MacDonald

1. Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain.
( Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC))
2. Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to.
(J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973), Letter to Michael Tolkien, March 1941)

true love is not how you forgive, but how you forget, not what you see but you feel, not how you listen, but how you understand, and not how you let go but how you hold on..

Importance of giving your spouse room to breathe.
“Any marriage that does not have mutual usefulness as its foundation will be difficult. The word ‘allow’ is very significant in any successful relationship, whether it be between family members, friends, husbands and wives. When we truly love someone, we allow them their own thoughts, interest, and spaces. We give each other room to breathe.
By Dennis Weaver on the secret of their successful marriage.
"Your marriage is a journey, run it with trust and honest."
-Thuraiya Ahmad
Love requires a willingness to die; marriage, a willingness to live.

"A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of friendships, all the enjoyment of sense and reason - and indeed all the sweets of life. - Joseph Addison
That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons,
give fullness of trust,
hold each other hand with full of love and responsible,
and bring happiness together until the end.

**The Art Of A Good Marriage
(Wilferd Arlan Peterson)
Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.
A good marriage must be created.
In marriage the little things are the big things.
It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day.
It is never going to sleep angry.
It is at no time taking the other for granted;
the courtship should not end
with the honeymoon, it should continue through the years.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.
It is standing together facing the world.
It is forming a circle of love that gathers the whole family.
It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice,
but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation
and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not looking for perfection in each other.
It is cultivating flexibility, patience,
understanding and a sense of humour.
It is having the capacity to forgive and forget.
It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow old.
It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal,
dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal.
It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner.
"Marriage, ultimately, is the practice of becoming passionate friends." Harville Hendrix
What counts in making a happy marriage
is not so much how compatible you are,
but how you deal with incompatibility.
Leo Tolstoy
"Marriage is an Athenic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity --everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul. "
-- Thomas Moore
The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.
-Robert C. Dodds-
nor saadah saari,0814014,section 6
"Marriage is not just about love, but it is all about trust. Trusting a person will definitely lead you to the happiness, but loving a person may bring you to the darkness. Thus, trust your love only for ALLAH, The Owner of Trust and Love"
Marriage is the unity of two imperfect souls become one perfect soul which share every single moment of life. Life as couple is
not colorful without love and love is not just 'receiving' but also 'giving'. We love our partner as Adam love Eve, like Muhammad love Khadijah, and also like Romeo sick in love with Juliet...
1)Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get out. - Montaigne
2)Marriage is one of the hardest things to keep because somewhere in the middle, there will be challenges or barriers may come, but with trust, faith and loyalty..InsyaAllah..everything can be okay...

I didn't marry you because you were perfect.
I didn't even marry you because I loved you.
I married you because you gave me a promise.
That promise made up for your faults.
And the promise I gave you made up for mine.
Two imperfect people got married and it was the promise that made the marrigae.
And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them - it was that promise.
Thornton Wilder
A good marriage is the union of two good forgivers.

i don't know how to say..but deep in my heart..marriage is something that require lots of commitment and sacrifice, plus the life that is very different from what we had live before, "things-to-do" that needed permission by our couple and lots more things which require two heads work together..and sometimes, it make me think of not to get
I have 3 quotations that I think can answer ur question , "WHAT IS MARRIAGE?"
It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals."
Fred Allen
"The more you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes."
"Women impure are for men impure, and men impure for women impure and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity: these are not affected by what people say: for them there is forgiveness, and a provision honourable (an nur : 26)"

As we all know tat marriage is a very wonderful thing in our life. everyone wants to have their life partner. But marriage is not as easy as ABC as we all thought. A lot of things need to do.
But, most of us think marriage is really easy. if u love somebody u can marry him or her. that is totally a wrong concept. we should also think about our future, when we have a children especially little baby. a lot of money that we have 2 spend especially to buy diapers and also milk. (^.^)
hye madam.
marriage is ending bachelors life..it is scary because u neeed to share everything with ur partner for the rest of ur life..to be frank, in a real relationship,isnt like in a fairytale..if u think that for the next 40 years, everytime u see each other u r gonna glow or everytime u hold hands, therell be electricity..i think u r kidding urself..

marriage is like a football..sometimes u r happy living together sometimes u r not..

marriage is interesting for me,but i dont think to marriage at early age,because i have to acomplish my mission..
Marriages are always moving from one season to another. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter--discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times we experience springtime, with its openness, hope, and anticipation. On still other occasions we bask in the warmth of summer--comfortable, relaxed, enjoying life. And then comes fall with its uncertainty, negligence, and apprehension. The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature.
GARY D. CHAPMAN, note to readers, Summer Breeze
“To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.”
By Helen Rowland
"Marriage is more than the entanglement of two hearts, it is the entwining of two lives, forever."
"The perfect marriage begins when each partner believes they got better than they deserve."
"A happy man marries the girl he loves; a happier man loves the girl he
marries."
we should marry the girl that we love,,,,not the materialistics type...remember!!!
marriage is a bond between
man and women to build a constituional..
a bond to be last 4eva based on truth and feelings..
Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) says, "No house has been built in Islam more beloved in the sight of Allah than through marriage."
On another occasion Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) said: "The best people of my nation (Ummat) are those who get married and have chosen their wives, and the worst people of my nation are those who have kept away from marriage and are passing their lives as bachelors."

salam madam.. i remembered i posted before but it does not come out.. its ok .. i still can comment rite?
herm.. once my sister told me.. "fah, love is blind. marriege? marriege is a real eye opener then.."
hehe.. my smart sister.. :)
marriage is not about perfection between spouse..but it is more likely the complementary between both
the differences and similarities make both to be compatible....
marriage need the partners to be give and take...need to share...etc
what we should think is that the spouse that we have in this world is the best given by ALLAH...
