Over the last few days I’ve been contemplating on whether to write about a personality that has recently entered my life; my husband. Those who are married may just understand where I am coming from.
It has been 2 1/2 months since I tied the knot with Asif, and just over a year since I met him for the first time, and yet I feel as if he has been there forever! Friends and family told me marriage is special; the Holy Prophet (SAW) declared it as completing half your faith; and now, having taken this step, I can see why.
Marriage is a wonderful feeling, but comes with many challenges for the girl; moving homes, adjusting to a new family life, and having the opposite gender play an active role in her day to day life. It comes with obstacles; the girl is no longer thinking just about herself anymore. She must consider her husband, her extended family, and her duties as a married woman.
But the best feeling in all this, is having a spouse who understands the emotional rollercoaster his wife sits on when she says ‘I do!’.
My husband is a person of a very few words, but through silence and through his actions, I have learnt so much from him in the last two months. Not only has he encouraged me to pursue my dreams, to be ‘ME’ to the fullest, but he has also been by my side at every step.
Life holds challenges; we all know…and I look forward to those challenges for as long as my husband is by my side, our Lord is watching over us, and we have our parents’ blessings.
Love doesn’t come over night, nor is there ‘love at first sight’. But there’s no greater feeling than falling in love with the same person; over and over again, just because he gives you a multitude of reasons to do so. 🙂
You may have noticed, my last blog entry was a special dedication to my mum, and this is to my husband. These special people have truly impacted my life. But the next blog entry, will explain who really molded be to what I am today…
