I found my soulmate via my mother (it was an arranged marriaged 😂) despite not wanting an arranged marriage nor wanting to marry someone from back home. And this all happened at 32 years old within 6 months of our first phone call/meetup. The first time I talked to her, I felt an instant connection despite having lived very different lives. I’m now almost 7 months married, and I feel truly blessed (aside from the fact that her visa is processing, so we’re physically apart).

All I can say is that when and how your spouse will come into your life is already predetermined, so don’t give up hope or think about “timelines” - focus on being the best version of yourself and everything will fall into place iA. While I think all of us should put effort into finding a spouse, if it’s not working through one particular avenue eg., friends/family, app etc. we shouldn’t give up hope but rather keep the faith.

As in marital issues or finding a spouse? If it’s the former - our marriage isn’t perfect but what I found really helped get it in a better place was that we did umrah together. We both walked out feeling refreshed and ready to put in more effort

Something to brighten your day 🤗
I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
