You’re right, there are brothers that practice the straight path who want an educated woman who can communicate well and has something going for herself.
I think the woman and the man have to be aware of giving each other their rights. If they’re aware of this, then maybe arguments,power struggles and bruised feelings could be avoided in the event that the wife has a great career and makes more money than the husband.
I read where one scholar wrote that the poor man should not marry the rich woman, because of possible conflicts and rights being violated. I can’t remember the scholars name, unfortunately, maybe Uthamien or Tahmiyah.
Anyway Assalamu Alaikum from your brother in Islam.
Salams,
This is good mahsAllah.
I understand where your coming from because my mother was talking to me about how to successful both in education and also being a wife and a mother and its great you spoke about this, because not many of us speak about the ‘responsibility’ side of marriage.
Mashallah sister Megan, another great program. Just was wondering whether you can do something about gaining self-confidence, (being careful of not having too much due to it becoming arrogance). I don’t know about many sisters out there but there is a worry that you may not be a good enough wife because people (relatives) may have talked about you behind your back and have put you down saying that they don’t think that you would make a good wife so it maybe a reason that could have knocked your self-confidence. I dont know if many sisters experience this or not nut just thought to mention it!
Assalamu Alaikum
