Of Baitul Muslim, Marriage (Erk..?)

Bismillahhirrahmannirrahim.

[Note: Please, jangan gosok-gosok mata anda, tanda tak percaya dengan tajuk post kali ni :P]

Bila dah nak masuk alam 4th year degree ni, orang sokmo tanya soalan yang sama;

"Bila lagi nak kahwin?"

"Dah ada 'calon' tak?"

dan yang sama waktu dengannya.

Penat nak menjawab -___-"

But, I guess, that's just our nature? Fitrah manusia kan?

Read Dr. Halina's (isteri Sheikh Muszaphar shukor) blog the other day, and I found something interesting and worth to be shared ^^

Marriage is a lot of work.. 

Wedding is fun, honeymoon phase is a.w.e.s.o.m.e. but marriage is really a lot of work! You’re juggling your work, daily house chores, children and husband every single day. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, you’re killing yourself slowly inside because you barely have time for yourself. 

Sustaining a relationship / marriage is a lot of hard work. Trust me! Trying to change your partner is definitely not an option. Looking for a perfect person will take you forever. But learning to accept the other person as-he-is saves you from a lot of heart ache.

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.

Kita seringkali fokus hanya pada 'keseronokan' sesebuah perkahwinan, dan mengabaikan hakikat bahawa setiap perkahwinan datang dalam satu pakej; bersama 'tanggungjawab'.

Oh by the way, hari ni 10 Dzulhijjah 1434H --> Hari Raya Aidiladha. Jom sama-sama menghayati maksud 'pengorbanan' yang sebenar. Selama kita hidup di dunia ni, apa yang telah kita korbankan untuk Islam, demi Allah? Something worth to be pondered?

Thought of the day: Melihat 'keseronokan' seniors sambung Master di oversea, rasa teringin nak ikut jejak langkah mereka~

Wallahu'alam.
