These 17-24 yos on MT that dream about marriage & marrying young all the time - I get it. Many of us had the same mindset at that age, mainly bcz it was encouraged by elders. But I promise I, u think you’re ready but rushing into marriage young, espesh for women, is not worth it.

A Muslim marriage is *not* simply the same as your non-Muslim friends who are in committed relationships and co-habiting. I promise you, it’s not just like ‘moving in with & waking up to the love of your life every day ’ because muslim families are overfamiliar & over-involved.

And you’re so young that mentally, as much as the families might make you feel all nice & grown up & you also believe that you are - u & your spouse are going to turn straight back into easily influenced kids around your families & it *will* affect your marriage & happiness.

Anyways, learn to be an independent and strong-willed person before you get married because you’re gonna need that strong will & confidence in your own gut, choices & decisions. Don’t believe the hype that your aunties & newly married friends sell you for why you should rush.
