TRUST IN YOUR HEART

Submitted by Riyyah (United States), Nov 17, 2006 at 00:12

Hello,

I have read AYSHA'S comments and want you to know she is not the first to think like this nor will she be the last. The Quran states that a Muslim man may marry outside of his faith while a muslim woman must only marry a muslim man. But AYSHA does not state this in this method at this time.

I am an older American woman who is married to a younger Moroccan man and we are very happy together. My husband has his green card for sometime now and we celebrate many years together. We both work, we both share, and we love together. There is no discriminant line. It is a shame that people find in themselves that ability to hand out fear as if it were cotton candy and it should not only be taken but accepted as fact. Just as there are two sides of a coin, two sides of the street, two sides of a story there are also two possibilities. Being with whomever is a very personal choice and must be looked at with great sensitivity and not left to or decided on anothers advice. Read what I say then decide according to you and your hearts.

Ladies it does take money to be with the men we love and yes we do pay for it all as most men are not employed in the fashion we recognize in the USA as Morocco is very poor. Jobs are hard to find. And if you expect to see a country like the good ole USA, you are not going to.

But what you will find is a people so uniquely designed in love and respect that you will feel at home.

You see not only have I fallen in love with my husband but his family, his friends, his neighbors.The people all the people as well as his country. which is my home as well and holds a place in my heart. This is to the woman who sent her man $200+ dollars and he gave to his mother his brother his sister and paid whatever. I believe him. You see for a muslim the first place in his or her heart is God/Allah then the mother and again the mother then the father and so on and so on.

They love their families, you being part of their family. what your man was doing was most likely putting food on the table, meat a missing part of the meal so often. You enabled your man to help his family. As for her statements about age gap and whatever else there are groups you can join to know the real truth about American women, Canadian women, English women and others with Moroccan husbands in this group as well as other groups out there.

You are not alone believe me but if you listen to aysha and others like her you will always wonder. We all look for help, understanding and truth we do not want to be alone we want to be able to share. Well at least look at this group talk with the women and know there is truly more then you are given here in this forum. Thank you for allowing me to speak my peace.

Sincerely

Riyyah
