I agree

Hello Natalie,

I find this chat line beneficial and positive to learn from others experiences. Rather its a personal opinion or a cultural belief. Being open minded leads to many more choices and answers. I agree with you on the perspective that not all muslim men are destructive. I don't think its fair to judge. Who are we to judge others yet ourselves? The first muslim man in my life was my father who I did not meet until I was 12-13yrs. I realized overtime with maturity that not every muslim man is going to bring a child in the world and abandon her/him. Theres two sides to every story.

The mature way is to take your time slowly to know a person before making a big step like marriage. Make sure you understand his heart, culture, and also the woman can't be the only one to bend. It takes two. Yes marriage is like a flower. Without both the sun and water a flower would not bloom. Simply takes two.
