CHOOSING THE RIGHT MARRIAGE PARTNER

The divorce rates has recently aroused into a dynamic rate. Every day at least one

marriage is breaking in every five families. This kind of situation is really

humiliating and disturbing. Does the community really look at reasons behind this

menace, do we really follow what the Holy Quran teaches us on marriage, do we

really practice what Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us? Such questions and

those not mentioned should be the driving force which must be given highest

priority when selecting a marriage partner.

When choosing a life time partners don’t be deceived by the appearance, look and

choose a person with the type of characters you really desire. Below are few points

suitable when selecting a spousal partner:

Religious devoted person and marital satisfaction

Religion factor and marital satisfaction are the main driving force considered when

men and woman choose their marriage spouses. An Islamic research conducted by

Assessment for Muslim Marital Satisfaction (AMMS) in English and Arabic

culturally backgrounds and language that interviewed men and women. Both

genders said; they were having their spousal choices on the grounds of religion.

However, the rating of spousal influence on the grounds of religion revealed a

staggering correlation with subsequent marital satisfaction for women, with little or

no signal relationship on men. Most men wanted to marry women who were

religious devoted, while women wanted an engagement which is marital fit.
