Ep 16. Is marriage really that hard or do we just give bad advice?
Listen now
Description
This week we bring you the final part of our introductory episodes to the relationships series. We continue the discussion of the marriage journey- picking up from the engagement stage. We touch on Muslim couples following modern engagement practices and the realities of “getting down on one knee” not constituting an actual engagement. We then move the conversation to getting cold feet and the nerves that may kick in before marriage. As always, we provide advice on how to navigate being in these stages and stress the importance of women having a choice in who they marry just as men do. Controversially, we share how we believe marriage is not as hard as our societies make it to be, especially in the context of Gambians providing advice for marriage. We end off with ways to overcome these negative thoughts on marriage by looking at love stories between the bests of Allah’s creations (The Prophets and Companions).
