Get married. And have fun.

Get married, split up, get back together, have children, have an affair, get divorced, remarried, start a fashion magazine, eat sushi, dominate your husband, drive him to have an affair, get divorced again, have a long term partner, drive your children mad, and start hitting people with an umbrella … in other words, have fun … sort of!

… well, if you can’t have fun, at least have drama

Sweetie: Get married when YOU are ready and not a minute before.

Get married when you want to , when you find one that deserves to marry you, one who the sentence:”Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values” truly suits him.

While i don’t agree with his view on marriage, I LOVE his view on the whole bubble thing. As a bi-racial girl I’ve felt like this many, many times

Why stick to marrying a middle eastern, theres the world out there, we all know that they want a young beautiful girl not a beautiful old girl (not that your old, but you know what i mean) But in todays western world 28 is probably around the time they get married, but tell that to the old generation. If arabs arent doing it, go find a white guy or etc… I realized the assholes from my background are jerks( im part arab but the other side dominates more)so lol i moved on to a broader range of guys. All they want nowadays are young girls who are beautiful and to get married young, they never realize the struggle of marriage, all they want is the sex, and as soon as they figure out that the sex isnt like the stuff you see on tv, they get bored of that and 8 times out of 10 the girl can hardly cook or clean. Then it leads to utter failure, personally mona i applaud you on not caring to get married right now, or maybe even ever, I think your like those girls who can prove everybody wrong, finding a guy isnt the most important thing in your life, i guess if you dont have your “better half” you were 1 whole the whole time lol…. the funny part thats normal with these westerners and etc… but when there is 1 middle eastern girl who isnt married its the freaking end of the world.

Marriage is hard work as much as it is fun, I ought to know (I have been at it for 29 years and still going). It is a commitment you make, and it is a tough decision.

These days a lot of young people take it lightly, because there is the relatively easy way out, divorce. Well, this is not a sort of a social experiment or a reality show that can be terminated any time we feel it has gone wrong.

It is about give and take, compromising, sharing, nurturing, love, sacrifice and yes joy, happiness and fulfillment. It is about creating and managing expectations. So when you are ready for all of this and you think you have found that special someone, then and only then you get married. Age, ethnicity and religion should not be the issue.

I fully believe marriage to the right person is greater than most things in life, but getting married just to get married is not the answer. Too many people in this world get married because “that’s how it’s suppose to work” or “so they can have sex” or whatever reason they choose to fill in their blanks. But truthfully, most of them end up unhappy or divorced. However, I have seen many people who get married to the right person when that time comes and their life is forever changed, they love life & they would never go back. I don’t think anyone can tell you when this will happen or whether you get a choice in the matter. Just promise yourself when the right moment in time & the right guy comes along, you will not look back.

the subject of marraige was exgenous to the actual topic which was “Arab women” nontheless since we are on the matter, I beg to ask why all the stress to get married? I know some view it as a liberty exit from over conservtive housholds….. But seriously do you want to compromise and over extend yourself to someone who probably wouldn’t know how to give you an orgasm. Ok maybe that is also beyond the scope of the subject, the point is worry about what’s more important, education , career , higher ideolgical causes ( other than religion) and then worry about marriage , and complete me and I complete you jerry maguire bullshit, also remaining a blogger is not the answer. Lets forget drama , ramdan Syrian shows and have fun

You should marry a blogger, Mona. lol.

marriage is futile hm hm hm so attractive think…
I maybay know what you feel that you dont agree to most of people’s idea. I would say all religions and also all many cultures never ban someone to what they want to get marry or not…
you arent alone, there are also many people decide to not get marry forever … have fun for mona’s happiest heart he he he

Marriage probability… its just like the lotto that’s why I love reading your posts… many reasons for or against.

Btw, How is your turtle Squibby doing?

marriage is futil mona he he he happiest girl forever

@Mona

Mona :
Get married. Not to get married. That is the question.
You guys are driving me crazy with so many differing ideas!
In the end of all this, I will probably be a blogger forever. That’s my life’s destiny.

We all know you will be a blogger forever – this doesn’t mean you won’t be married lol.

I’m glad Squibby is doing great

marriage is useless while it make divorse

Well, I am sure marriage is not an easy adventure. Actually even a serious relationship is not that easy. I’ve been for two years in a relationship now. And hell, it was difficult at times. But what you get out of it is magnificent. You become so much more than who yourself actually are. In true relationship, where there is love, and both people commit to grow their love, it’s always ’1+1=3′ equation. Good relationship is in a way like an excellent team – which is always, always way better and more fun than individual work.
But yep, definitely it is not easy So do it only when you are ready Though the other question – how to know when you are ready? )

so there is this report on blog called and in the august 06 blog, there was this report on the top 9 reason why muslims get divorced. the report was done through research by various Muslim groups and sociology departments at some college. in any case they listed the top 10 reason why muslims get divorced (reasons are stated verbatim to the report):

1. in laws
2. adultery and haram sex offline and online
3.incompatibility
4.fair tale expectations
5. secular individualism aka the burger king syndrome
6.abuse
7.complete lack of preperation
8. money
9.lying
now if you read the examples and analysis of the reasons, you might like me fall on the floor laughing. reason being the intense drama that arabs or muslims put them selves through… its like a mexican or syrian saop opera, however with less attractive people and lot of quran and allah stuff. i urge you to read this report, it would really place you in disbelief one how retarded some of the values are…. maybe we should open arms to change and let go of some values rather then keep them

@nasser

Marriage is great. Divorce is not so great. So, whatever you do don’t get married until you meet the guy you want to marry! And when you do, you’ll probably know it! And then when you get married, work at it really hard because no matter how great the guy is, he won’t be as great as you thought he would be and you’re going to have to learn to accept that. Or you could just stay single if you’re too scared to get married :p

I have no doubt you’ll have the _option_ to get married one day. Whether you do or not is up to you, of course. When you do get married, I hope it is very, very happy.

I’m married, and it’s working great for me.

Get Married. Life can be painfully lonely without someone to consider your partner. Loneliless can be more damaging to a person’s mind than a bunch of arguments followed by make up sex, two or three times a month… actually.. kinds of sounds fun!

@nasser

Nasser, I’m looking for your rendition of the article you read to us in the car. You want to share it with everyone? So I can laugh my ass off again!
