what does marriage mean to you?

[Zuleikha]

I'm curious how you guys view marriage, so what is your reason of getting married? Why is it important to you? Is it because it's the social norm and everybody expect you get married or you just want to complete half of your deen. Do you want to get married because of love? Halal intimacy? Kids?

And those of you who are already married what was your reasons?

I've been added to this xaliimo only groups on fbook and the amount of young divorcee and single mothers that post there is unbelievable. Some of them even say how happily divorce they are.

Procreation.
Help with raising children
Stability
Avoid getting lonely, especially when your older.

I see those as the main reasons for marriage.

Did you or will you set expectations on the marriage?
Does the high percentage of divorce in our community bothers you?

Meeh I'm commitment phobic, there are more divorces in our generation then our parents generation to the point of where i'm paranoid about marriage.

I hope the dagaal ends soon soon walaal! Everyone's been there. I'm shocked no-one's scooped you up. Are girls still lying to themselves about marrying a wadaad or something?

I see no point in getting married for companionship. I have friends. I would only consider it to benefit like a business arrangement.

I have developed a SWOT analysis on this "marriage thing" and devised a contingency plan to go along with it.
