Happily Married

Submitted by Tamara (Canada), Dec 7, 2007 at 20:07

I know I have only been married for the past 6 weeks, but we dated for 10 months before we married.We are truly happy and I almost let this site talk me out of getting married. I agree some men are not good husbands or even good people. So I am not giving advice to anyone. I can only tell my story. My Egyptian muslim man is the sweetest, kindness and most gently man that I have ever met. I respect him and his culture and he respects mine. We are as normal as Apple pie. We spend our nights going shopping for groceries, cooking dinner (he never helps cook though) but he will wash the dishes and help around the house. We cuddle on the couch and watch movies, feeding each other popcorn. We discuss everything. We are equals and take each others happiness into consideration before making a decsion. Women can feel in their heart if a man truly loves them. It is never in their pretty words, ( he rarely says I love you) It is in their actions.

How does he treat you ? Is he considerate of your feelings ? Does he ask about your feelings ? Is he respectful of you and your family ? These are the important things to ask yourself

and IN closing, never give a man money- IF he asks you for money or gifts then he is not a good muslim or a good man. - dump him. GOOD LUCK to all and Happy Holidays!!!!!
