This episode goes beyond the romanticized views of marriage and dives into the reality that few talk about. We explore what it really means to be ready for marriage — not just externally, but spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. From setting realistic expectations to knowing yourself before knowing another, we discuss the beauty of love grounded in sincerity, responsibility, and a shared journey toward Allah.
Marriage isn’t a finish line — it’s a test of who you are when no one’s watching, and who you become when Allah puts love in your life as a trust, not a trophy.
