dont feel rushed

A few questions you may want to ask yourself

1) Are you happy in the relationship? By that I also mean does he support you in your dreams, growth and development?

2) if he stops you from having male friends do you stop him from having female friends? Does he control anything else you do? Who you see, what you wear? and so on - are you comfortable with that?

3) How does he practice Islam - Islam prefers the middle path in its practice...is he unneccesarily rigid or not really practicing? How does that sit with you?

4) I would suggest that you meet his family before you marry him (how his dad is with his mum might give you an insight as to what he's learnt to be a man from - even though this is not always true but the apple doesnt fall too far from the tree and so on...) and also involve your family if you can....and if you are unsure about anything then take your time - dont feel rushed be sure! If hes the right guy you should be getting that feeling if hes not then you dont want to have to deal with the potential concequences...good luck
