I’ve been struggling with something and I’m curious how others see it.
I’m still young and honestly don’t have everything figured out yet financially or in terms of life direction. At the same time, the desire for marriage is very real for me. It’s not just a passing thought, it’s something I think about consistently.
On one hand, I understand the importance of being stable and responsible before taking that step. On the other hand, waiting years while trying to suppress that desire doesn’t feel easy either, especially when trying to stay within halal boundaries.
For those who went through something similar:
Did you choose to wait until you were fully “ready,” or did you start the process earlier?
How did you manage the internal tension between wanting marriage and knowing you’re not fully established yet?
Do you think being “ready” is more about mindset or actual life circumstances?
I’m just trying to hear different perspectives and experiences.
