Hunting for My Other Half Q&A Folder

Getting married is one of the biggest transitions in one’s life. Therefore, one needs to be very thoughtful when it’s time to make the final decision: whom I want to live the rest of my life (and the Hereafter) with? Muslim youth can face many difficulties until they find the answer.

One of the biggest mistakes many young Muslims make is rushing into marriage without properly and thoroughly getting to know someone.

We collected some of the most frequently asked questions of young Muslim grooms and brides received by our service. The answers of our professional counselors aim to help those who are still preparing for marriage to make a mindful decision in sha’ Allah and live a happy married life.
