there is an islamic practice called ‘tawakkul’ that has a strong basis in psychology. it is the concept of emotional detachment from an outcome. to put in the necessary effort towards a goal (to do your bit) but then to leave the possibility of achieving it or not to God

A lot of men make the mistake of assuming romantic attraction for women works as it does for men. It doesn’t. For women, a large portion of attraction develops from a sense of whether a man can help lower their anxiety or whether they sense he will be an emotional burden.

If you’re single, a good quality to look for in a prospective spouse is an absolute commitment to telling the truth. Someone who sees lying to anyone as an option will eventually see lying to you as an option.

Israelis dance, sing, cheer, and celebrate all while Israel brutalizes thousands of Palestinians, while settlers attempt to steal Palestinian homes in Sheikh Jarrah, and while Israel bombs Gaza, killing children. This is the lived reality of Palestinians under apartheid.

1. Why marriage? Strong romantic feelings or “because it’s what you do” shouldn't be the reason they or you want to get married. Marriage is a lifelong commitment & investment, there should be a pretty good reason for it. Ask “What would marriage add to your life in your view?”

2. How does your parents’ marriage impact your view on marriage? It’s important to be able to gauge what a successful union looks like to each of you. Parent relationship dynamics tell you how trust is seen, how conflict is approached, how often accountability is taken etc.

There is no ‘the one’. You choose who the one will be. And when you do, you'll have to make that choice again and again many times throughout your marriage. Love isn't simply a feeling, it's an intentional practice.
