Getting a befitting spouse is not a challenge, the greatest challenge is getting a spouse that meet up with our criteria. Allahu Akbar! When you engage with the people seeking for spouse, you'll realise that their problems emanate from their wrong perspectives. There are so many important factors we fail to consider when it comes to spouse selection, now, the factors become the major cause of problems after marriage.
The moment we consider worldly materials over other important factors, we may become victims of unsuccessful marriage. Are you getting married into a family: that see divorce as norm, that see women as slaves, that beat & punch women like sacks, that use women as decoration- family trend, that separate husbands & wives-not living together, that use & dump women (consider only the children)? All these count in marriage, they're reasons for many failed marriages today.
Firstly, there are certain challenges in adulthood which are inevitable for some people to pass through & indeed they're a big task. This has made some people to vehemently keep praying not to reach a particular year of age so to eschew the challenges, while some are already preparing for that stage. Some, at old age may lose their limbs, sights, physique, hearing, senses, ability, etc. However, it's worse, Allahu Akbar!, if coupled with failed marriage, Allahu al-musta'aan, this is when some people deliberately end their own lives while you're not aware!
Believe me, you may not feel the impacts of a failed marriage now, until you grow up to a certain stage when you cannot but pass through the stages & the experiences. It's so unfortunate that, it disarrays the families, discontinues the joys in marital relationships & brings about certain adversities. Unless a couple die young they'll not pass through these stages. Hmm, being a young couple will not give you a clarity of these stages ahead of you, until you get there. So know what you're looking for in marriage!
I oblige you dear followers, the potential spouses to look beyond 'she's beautiful & he's handsome, they're of wealthy background, etc' in your marriage so you don't be part of a living dead story.Their own failures should never affect you, rather be your own lessons, learn from experiences so you don't make the same mistakes. Have they too been given another chance, perhaps they would dare not follow the same journey you are about to embark on. Believe me, there are challenges in marriage that can make you experience hell in life. Learn!!!
I swear by Allah! A befitting good spouse will make you see ease in every aspect of life when indeed the whole world is in difficulty (in trials & tribulations) upon difficulties. Just as Drs persevere their patients over their illness. In the other hand, you may be in abundant wealth, money, properties, etc...I mean everything blushing & rosy for you, unfortunately a wrong spouse (failed marriage) makes all you have possessed trials & tribulations for you. Many marital lives are in this state, so learn & reason well!
Indeed there are good befitting men & women in the society to choose as spouses but your criteria & high specifications have failed & beclouded you to notice & observe them around you. No one has a future-meter to measure & know what the future (standard of living) of every individual will be, however a befitting spouse will never ever neglect you in any ramifications, he or she will not but be a pains absorbers for you. A good befitting spouse will always make you see this world beautiful even if it's at the ugliest state. Choose wisely!
You see, the more we grow up, the expand our brain (senses, wisdom, understanding, etc) is. Your own thinking now may be obsolete, useless in the next few years. This is when a lot of people regret over their actions years after marriage, because their shallow & restricted brain could not comprehend the challenges awaiting them in future. Had we seen what the future looks like, perhaps we would have considered that brother or sister we rejected for marriage. As for some, their future makes them glorify Allah for choosing the best them. This is because they do not follow their whims alone!
There's no problem with you choosing monogamy or polygyny system of marriage but there's going to be hell with you if you choose the wrong person in marriage. Should you have a befitting good person around you for spouse, never let go, for if you reject him or her for insignificant reasons, you may face the worse in where you're going, and coming back to start again will be another heartbreaking story. Talk to your senses & move with intelligent ones!
During the time of the righteous companions (may Allah be pleased with them) the divorced righteous women were hot-cake, being raced for. Unfortunately, in our own generation, they're the most abandoned creatures that no one cares for, even those who divorce them fail to care for them. Some years back, some women rejected proposals of the befitting good men only to avoid going into polygyny but today, they regret over their actions & look for all means to go back to the same thing they rejected. Why???
Now, some sisters are scared of going for the single brothers in marriage simply because, brothers of this generation are not equipped with instruments & experience enough to repair what damages in marriage. The moment there's problem, the journey is terminated & abandoned for another journey. Polygyny is now raining despite it's being abused. Be it polygyny or monogamy, whatever you decide to take, choose wisely!
I promise you, in more years to come, your perspective about life will surely change. Certainly you would see life different from what you've been seeing it to be. Allahu Akbar! You'd regret to have done certain things & would also regret to have not done certain things. You'd want to go back but it might be late or not too late. But that you'll not realise your mistakes is indeed a mirage. For your own case to be different, do not follow the trend but follow the best. A befitting good spouse has nothing to do with polygyny or monogamy, we find & take gold in anywhere we can see it. Change your perspectives!
If you're a true believer, sincere with your ibaadah, worshiping Allah with mutaaba'ah, you indeed deserve the best in this era. Do not subject yourself to any difficulty when there's ease, go for the best in all the sets. Be it with spouse, or with things to ease your life so you can enjoy your relationship with your Rabb. Indeed every believer deserves the best, may Allah grant us tawfeeq & the best in all our endeavours!
