  1. I dream about: Someone who looks after me, protects me, is always there for me. Someone who loves truly and does not fake it. Someone who waits for me before i get home.
    Wants & Aspirations: RAising kids who love their deen and find pride in it, and who are little copies of the Prophet SAWS. Obviously, my husband has to strive for these qualities as well (I do this, honestly, I do)
    Dreaming about: True love and care and passion

  2. I dream(well, mostly think)about someone whose perfect in every way. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently it is. I not only want a perfect husband but a perfect best friend as well. Someone I can lean on for support whether itsfinancially, emotionally, physically whatever I need he is there to help. Whenever I’m around him I feel safe, secure, stable, loved. Someone who feels the same about me as I feel about him.
    I can go on and on but I think I’ve made my point. I dream about marrying the perfect man for me. Someone who just gets me…you know?

  3. The marriage of my dreams is just a reality in which my husband and I work towards the same goals in life, increase each other’s faith and self-worth, and live/raise our kids in the manner that is pleasing to Allah. It’s only by the tawfeek of Allah that we see in each other that we can simply have a family togather, but we have to compromise for each other. We muslims have complicated marraige along with so many things in our lives.

  4. The main dream I have when I think about a happy marriage is to have a loving affectionate relationship, to feel wanted, needed and appreciated, and to experience what it really means to be garments for each other.

  5. What do you dream about the most?

    What are some of your wants and aspirations?

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

  6. Assalamu Alykum

    My dream marriage…and I won’t be quoting a long list…

    is one where ‘I’ am able to fulfill my husband’s expectations and make him happy and win his heart…

    Float on the cloud – A marriage similar to that of the Prophet’s (s) with Khadija (r) with numerous kids running around the house, both adopted and those born to us

    Back to earth – May Allah SWT help me find a brother to get married to first. Ameen.

    JazakAllahu Khair,

  7. The perfect husband for me would be someone who will never give up on me. Everyone has shortcomings, he should be willing to forgive and forget and help me instead of ridiculing me and abusing me (verbally or physically). He would love after his mother and would take care of his children and help me in raising them. He would be rational when it comes to arguments between his mother and wife.

  8. Asalamu Alaikum,

    Bismillah

    The most important quality I would like to have in a husband is willingness to learn more about the Deen and sincerity in doing so.
    Someone who demonstrates fear, love and hope of Allah.

    Someone who tries to implement the Sunnah in his life, on all levels, like how the Prophet(SAW) dealt with other people, his manners, etc.

    A person with a good character-humble, honest, sincere, likes to compromise, a good communicator, good listener, open, trustworthy, loyal, flexible, forgiving etc.

    Someone who views his wife as a companion and best friend. Asking for advise and giving advice. Supporting and helping her achieve her goals.
    Wants to develop a strong relationship which includes love, romance and all that good stuff :)

    A person who wants to be involved in his family’s life, not only providing financially, but emotionally as well. Wouldn’t mind helping around the house, really enjoys teaching and playing with kids.

    A person who works for the Deen, using his talents whatever they are, to benefit the Ummah.

  9. 1. Someone who truly loves Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and His Prophet peace and blessings be upon him
    2. Someone who gets me to jannah
    3. Some one who loves me for who I am
    4. Someone who will let us as a family follow our dreams together

    (each aspect is incumbent on the other one, you don’t have anything if you don’t have the first one.)

  10. My dream is the following Dua
    “Allahuma Ikhtarli Wela-tikheyirni” meaning “O Allah (You) choose for me (my dream wife) and let not leave it to myself”

  11. I dream of marriage to a husband who loves me and is as in-love with me as I am with him. I dream of someone who makes Allah his priority and never stops his quest to learn. I dream of someone who has a great personality and makes me laugh often. I dream of someone who has a vision for his life and for our future children if Allah wills.

  12. my dream marriage would be filled with love,compassion & honesty.we would respect each other & have a trusting commitment.our deen would grow stronger & we would live accordingly.if we were in a room of many people we would only see each other.i am older now,a widow,but i am lonely wishing to find a man whoes qualities are as i described.i would cook his favorite meals,make his tea or coffee with dessert afterwards,have good conversation.we would love unconditionally.inasha allah !

  13. (my comment got messed up in the formatting so here is my second attempt!)

    What do you dream about the most?

    A decent Muslim husband who has a basic knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah, offers Salah regularly and, from the initial interactions and right through the marriage ceremony, will stick to the Sunnah ways (which includes a “segregated” wedding and no pre-wedding chit chat under the guise of an “engagement”)!

    What are some of your wants and aspirations?

    One should always pray for the best and for me, that would be a well dressed, easy going Muslim man who would like to see marriage as a stepping stone to a better life – a chance to complete his Deen. I’d love it even more if his family was Islam-oriented too and open hearted because I hope to have build great relationships with them. I also aspire to raise a family with Islamic principles and for that to be possible, my husband and I would have to be on the same page.

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

    A good husband and only Allah(swt) knows who would be the kind of person to really make me happy. What I know and wish for is that my husband would have a strong but caring personality so that I could respect him and his decisions and also be able to advise him and consult with him. At the end of the day, it all about finding a partner to share life’s moments with, travel with and learn more and more about the Deen together.

  14. My prayer to Allah swt is for a husband who realizes how important marriage is and earnestly work towards building the relationship. Fear Allah and don’t become heedless. We can study deen together and practice it, insha Allah. Find love and mercy in your heart that Allah swt has given you, for your spouse. At least try!and do your best. Build a relationship on trust.

    I say all this is because there is no such thing as Perfect husband/wife or perfect relationship. We are all human beings, not God. Perfection is only attributed to Allah swt. But, it is imperative to try and make the relationship a success for the sake of Allah swt…

    ….And I will try my best, insha Allah.

  15. Praying together

    Studying Quran & Arabic together

    Hajj

    Going for walks in nature, having halal fun together

    Don’t have to spend all time together, or talk all the time – not smothering; definitely quality over quantity

    Cooperating on some Islamic projects together

    Feeling close and comfortable even in silence

    Comforting each other after a hard day

    Trust and loyalty and caring

    Being able to laugh, talk about problems and not being defensive, closed off. Forgiving and forgetting nature.

    Advice and reminding in a calm, caring atmosphere

  16. Asalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatulah

    As a women, I want a husband who I feel secure with. Someone who I know has eyes for me and only me. Someone who can look over my shortcomings the way I will look over his shortcomings. Someone who will give me a stable life and will push me to do better in this this life and the next. I want an affectionate relationship, a loving relationship someone who puts his family first before anyone and anything and inshaAllah I will be doing the same. I want someone who appreciates me bottom line :)

    I feel like this is all about me, but khair its my dream anyways. InshaAllah I hope to do the same for my husband, it wont be a one way street inshaAllah. He will be one of my many ways to get into jannah being a good wife…

    A Sista

  17. Assalamu aleykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu,

    I dream of the ideal hubby: very God-conscious but also with great humanist character, physically attractive and possess strong leadership skills while loving to listen and consult me .
    also a man that I am perfectly compatible with in every way. And finally a loving man who makes me his top priority after God SWT :)

    My deams and aspirations with that kind of man in my life is to establish a happy and fulfilled marriage bi idni Allah and raise incha Allah great kids in order to benefit Humanity in some way in the future.

  18. 1) To allow me to work and provide for my family while my brothers get on their feet
    2) I will look after his family, especially his parents :)
    3) I want him to aid me in completing my memorisation of the Qur’an
    4) I want to g study at Madinah Uni, in their school of shariah and I want him to be there with me too

  19. I dream with someone I can be sure he is going to be a great example for our kids, that he is a good muslim, and that take care of me, love me, and talk to me every time he is thinking something about us, or his dreams, I want a partner to share the rest of my life

  20. I dream of finding someone that not only makes me happy but my family as well. Someone who is a good Muslim and has a open mind. I Dream that ill have a husband that i can be there for me when i need him and will protect me and take care of me.
    I want to be happy and be able to talk about anything and everything with this person with no judgments. I want to have children who will love and strive for the Great religion Islam is. InshAllah
    I want a man who will be just and fair to me, and give me a reason when he doesn’t want me to do something or to do something.
    InshAllah

  21. Assalamualykum

    Bismillahirahmaniraheem

    My dreams and aspirations do not have to be rational but this is what I dream about anyway:
    A Muslim man who loves Allah (swt) and Muhammad (saw). After that his parents and then me :) I want someone who has eyes ONLY for me.

    He should be pious, conscious, intellectual, generous, optimistic, compatible.

    I want to feel safe around him. Someone who is romantic even after 15 years of marriage.

    Someone who doesn’t lie. I want him to be completely honest from the forefront. If I were to find out that he was only telling half of the story I would lose some trust & of course no one wants that especially from their spouse. Everyone has the right to be happy so why make the other emotionally distraught.

    I want someone tall and physically attractive ;)

    Someone who knows how to recite beautifully and who is steady in his prayer. I want him to be knowledgeable so that he may teach me and so I may teach him.

    Someone who isn’t verbally or physically abusive-reading stories of abuse really makes me cry.

    I want to know what I’m getting into before I accept and so I want someone who is very open and willing to tell the truth. He should feel comfortable to talk to me instead of being all mopey and depressed. I’m not a mind-reader. He shouldn’t put up a happy-face if he isn’t really happy. My happiness lies in his and so there shouldn’t be an issue.

    I want their family to love me and my family to love him. I want my parents to be happy with him and his accomplishments.

    I want someone who aspires to be as Muhammad (saw) and actually acts upon that goal.

    I want someone educated and not lazy. Someone who likes food but is also willing to help me cook simply because he likes spending time with me. Someone who loves me as much as I love him. Someone who understands me and respects me.

    Someone who will run the extra mile. Someone who respects my desires. I want him to be happy and I don’t want to feel like he has a burden because of something I may have asked him to do. Someone who is willing to point out things I may be doing wrong and teach me lovingly.

    Someone willing to compromise. One who trusts me and doesn’t doubt me or my abilities.

    Someone who isn’t afraid to speak up and speak out. An active leader. Someone socially friendly. Someone who knows the values of family. Someone who will teach my kids to be good Muslims.

    & if he has nice eyes, hey its the fully package. :)

    I want what I myself strive to do. May Allah guide me& help me to be a better Muslimah. So that I may be… what I want for in a husband, inshallah.

  22. I dream that the one i want so much will propose to my family from his own heart and own will.

    I just want him to be there and I want to be with him, I want to be contented n greatful – i don’t have any high expectations – even if he gets annoyed n may SEEM ungentle, i want him to love me for who i am, overlooking, but also one to help me improve even if he be strict – i know in the long run it is for my benefit, it is important that we be forgiving to one another – I don’t expect perfection at all

    I dream of patience, gratitude, giggles and smiles, affection and being silly together & also having a mother-in-law who will be kinder to me than my own mother! – even my mum prays I get that!

    I want him to be a bit older than me too!

  23. I dream about having a husband who understands me. He is patient, very manly and strong, has a cute sensitive side that only I get to see, my best friend, can dress himself, can make me laugh, has street smarts, people smarts, book smarts, thirsty for knowledge, self-motivating, is his own person, is very fair in decisions, has common sense, the best manners, many interests, athletic, competitive, suave, romantic, has good taste in everything, can cook, is a handyman, great at fixing cars and everything else, and just somehow understands everything.
    I want and aspire for us to be competitive together – in deen, athletics, modes and methods of doing things (survival of the smartest!), and whatever quirks we may have. I want him to win all the races we enter in, but I still beat him :D I want to be able to make food for him better than anyone else, and he’ll never want to go anywhere else. I somehow manage to keep our home and family perfectly organized, always on time, and ready for anything. We are the best of the best. We fuel each other, we are capable of handling each others’ tasks in case (God forbid) one of us gets sick, or just simply needs a break. We are more than enough for each other, and I couldn’t be more greatful. Because we manage to stay so healthy, by the Will of Allah, we grow old gracefully, still in really good shape, adventurous, we end up becoming scholars in every field, we’ve established every kind of institution imaginable and the unimaginable ones too! We leave behind perfect Muslim kids, hundreds of institutions in the name of Allah that have massive baraqa. He thinks I’m the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen, and that never changes, and I’ll think he’s the most handsome Muslim I’ve ever seen and that never changes.
    I stay up dreaming about…..have you ever seen the movie Mulan? Mulan figures out how to get to the top of the pole by using both weights. The weights were holding everyone down, until she figured out how to make the weights work together. A husband and wife are like the weights that need one another to get to the top, Inshallah the very top of heaven. So after the Day of Judgment,Inshallah, I hope to meet him there again. Inshallah, Inshallah, Inshallah!

  24. I dream of a deen driven brother who puts Allah & His Messenger first. Someone with a beautiful character like patience, mercy, forgiveness. Someone who respects me and takes me as I am even with all my shortcomings. Someone who is willing to be my closest freind, fellow student of knowledge….someone who finds happiness in being with me other than fulfillig desires which is important aspect as welll…someone who doesn’t hurt me pshyically or emotionally because I’ve seen that with others and it’s what turned me off from marriage for a long time, I hope that he doesn’t just prove my fears by being like that.

    I ask Allah to grant me what my heart desires….kuluna, ameen

  25. Assaalamu Alaikum Wa Ramatullahi Wa Barakatuhu:

    I dream of a marriage to a pious Muslim man with a kind heart; He would respect me, adore me, and spend time with our children. In my dream my husband would be willing to help around the house like our beloved prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and strive to please Allah.

    Ma’salaama

  26. When it comes to marriage…
    * What do you DREAM about the MOST?
    I dream about being with someone that I want to be with! Quite simply having someone who’s company I want to be in, someone to laugh with, someone to share my quirks and life with.

    * What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?
    My wants and aspirations are that we work as a unit, that both of us are big enough to help each other achieve individual goals as well as combined ones. My greatest aspiration is to become a parent, and to be successful in raising a muslim / muslimah.

    * What do you stay up at night dreaming about?
    I dream about being with someone that can make me smile in a way that no other can.

    Insha’Allah.

  27. salamo alykum,
    First of all thanks for giving me an opportunity to share my thoughts on this important topic. my ideal husband is someone who is honest, trustworthy,loving, caring, attractive with great personality. A person who is a good muslim and love me for who i am. a husband who wants to bring a positive change in the world and also helps me to achieve the same goals. some one who i can trust the most after ALLAH Subhan o Tallah, who helps me to learn dean and helps me to get closer to Jannah.someone who is willing to understand me who is willing to share his views in another a best friend.

  28. ASA-I want to be the best Muslimah and wife, mother and daughter I can be. I pray for a helpmate that his first focus is on his Deen, being accountable for himself and his Deen, next being focused on being a successful Muslim, husband, father and son. I seek someone who follows the middle path of the Quraan and Sunnah and is thoroughly emersed in Islam in all aspects of his life. Dunya comes last, and Deeds pleasing to Allah comes first. I want to be with a man that appreciates the type of woman I am and is in desire of the type of woman I am that is I am ; seeking monogamy, Islamicically immersed, nurturing, a great communicator, self-sufficent and able, obedient and honoring of her man, fun loving, health conscious helpful and generous.

    He should be strong in good character, hardworking, emotionally balanced, fiscally responsible, and morally upright.
    Ms Salaama.

    Nadirah

  29. Assalaam alaikum

    Deen – Obedient to Allah and her husband, keeper of secrets
    Lineage- From Ahlul Bayt, the family of Muhammad (SAW)
    Family- known for piety
    Beauty – Qurrata ayn, a delight to the eye
    Wealth – She comes from a family that is neither poor nor very rich

    And to add the cherry to the cake, The Walee offers me and i say yes of course, and the meeting and the nikaah all concluded in a day.

    Wa alaikum salaam

  30. What do you DREAM about the MOST?
    – What I dream about the most in a marriage is to have a loving marriage, open communication, that we both understand eachother, support eachother and learn to be better Muslims. To travel and have that spark, connection, conversation and chemistry.

    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?
    I want an everlasting commitment. Aspire to go to Jannat with the help of my future husband inshaAllah

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?
    To Be with a True Gentleman.

  31. Assalamu’alykum warahmatullah…

    Seems like the questions are almost similar….

    What do you DREAM about the MOST?

    Having a great marriage based on good niyyah “LILLAHITAALA”
    A great pious husband who takes marriage as something valuable and willing to sacrifice life because of Allah..make Allah number one and the priority ever…

    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?

    My “wants” are to be able to give service as ALLAH’s servant, a wife, a mother and friend…

    ASPIRATIONS: having cute kids, raised according to QUran and Sunnah..

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

    Get things done quickly, start working, start a family….

  32. mariage of my dream is someone who is learning the deen of ALLAH and teaching poeple at the sametime and someone who wants for both of us to learn together. if the person is fulfilling the deen of ALLAH and making allah and the heareafter firt then he becames capable of fulling all other aspects in life if ALLAH helps him insha allah.

  33. Reality dictates getting married in the American Muslim Community is rare to impossible for someone who wasn’t born in this country. If a miracle does happen I wish for:

    I’d like that my wife takes our faith seriously. Hopefully she will not be the one who considers Salaah, Fasting and Charity as acts of extremism and we’ll be able to raise our next generation that values their faith in spirit and in practice.

    I’d like to find a lady who respects her parents and is aware of our responsibilities at this very moment and when our parents will get old. I will serve my parents the way they served me when I depended on them. I hope I’ll find someone who values our relationships with our parents, so we are supportive of each other.

  34. Have a marriage that is JANNAH-CLASS

  35. My dream is for my husband to practice Islam because he understand and appreciate it rather than just following it blindly. For him to continue to learn and get inspired. I want him to share his knowledge and apply it. I want him to teach our children quran, deen and practice it with them. I want him to have ambition, goal and to continue to seek knowlege in the field of his passion. I want him to respect, love, and admire me. Honesty and integrity is a must.

  36. What I dream about the most:
    Ending up with someone who will truly understand me at all the different levels. Everyone has their own complexities and uniqueness — I’d like my future husband to understand and appreciate mine (and to not think I’m weird :) ), and for me to understand and appreciate him. I think this would strengthen our relationship and create a firm foundation of love insha’Allah, and allow us to be best friends. Of course he should also be strong in his deen, knowledgeable, and have no problem helping out around the house :)

    What are some of your wants and aspirations?
    To marry someone who can provide a stable income, who has the same understanding of Islam as I do (one of the points in top 10 myths about marriage covered problem of religious Muslims getting married but then having different understanding of Islam), and who will also be fun to be married to — I don’t wan’t to be bored by him and don’t want him to find me boring either.

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about.
    I don’t stay up at night dreaming about marriage. But I do ‘dream’ about having a perfect relationship with the person I marry, where we are best friends and caring towards each other, and always an emotional support to each other. I think this is in line with the Islamic concept of husband and wife being each other’s garments. I think this equates to ‘true love’.

  37. Asalam alaikum,
    My dreams are the following:

    What I dream about most would be to have a husband that would be strong in deen, protect me and our family, be loving and affectionate and yet still strong and a leader for our family. Someone who will take on the role for my kids as a father, and will teach us and guide us.
    I want for us to be best friends as well as husband and wife, to lean on eachother in good and bad times, and to keep communication open and honest.
    What I stay up worrying about is marrying someone that is strong in deen and that I will be told “oh you will grow to love eachother”, and then to marry this person with this belief and have a distant and unloving and strained marraige. I would rather wait and marry someone that I have some spark with on the first meeting, and that he would have strong charachter and deen and we would be as close as two people can be and grow and learn together.

  38. Assalamu aleykum warahmatulla
    I dream about the most having agreat marriage based an good niyah agreat pious hasband who understand the valu of having own family wife and kids if Allah gives to . and makes Allah nuber one and the prority ever

  39. Salaam

    I dream of Allah fearing brother who follow Islam the way the sahaba did. I dream of marriage that is base on honesty, trustwarthyness and most of all can communicate with me.
    I want practicing Muslim brother with good personality.
    I want a brother who would love me for who I am, who is compfortable with me as I am with him. now is that too much to ask? I hope not.

  40. Simply: my dream marriage would be *blissful*

    Regardless of what actually ends up happening, I just want to feel safe and peaceful with my future spouse. I want my marriage to be a HAVEN in every way inshaa’Allah.

    I dream of traveling to seek knowledge together, establishing a secure home, and helping each other strive towards our goals. Inshaa’Allah…

  41. What Do I Dream About the Most?
    Ok, this is gonna sound weird, but I know what I mean: finding a man with the good manners of a sufi, but the aqeedah of the salaf. (I have so far only found brothers who ARE sufi and the aqeedah is wrong, or brothers who SAY they follow the manhaj of the salaf, but are harsh and rigid with no adaab. At 39, I dream of even getting married again at all. (Was married once before.) Seems most brothers are only interested in sisters 30 and younger.

    Wants and Aspirations?
    I want a brother who is serious about his responsibilities towards his family because he wants to earn Allah’s pleasure. I want to be a wife my husband can depend on and know that I can function and keep things together when he is away. I want to know that he has MY back as well. I want a marriage in which we are not afraid to talk to each other about our fears, and in which we encourage and help each other in our goals. My aspiration is to have a marriage in which we encourage and support the best in each other, read Quran together, have darus as a family, explore and ponder Allah’s creations together, make time to chill together AND apart. I want a brother who is protective of me, normally protective, not controlling or a stalker-type.

    Stay Up Dreaming About?
    I don’t let this actually keep me up, but I dream about finding a brother who is on point with his deen but still keeps traditions from his culture that would be halal in Islam; who enjoys sharing cooking tasks and helping keep our place clean, peaceful and comforting; who is interested in having just one wife; who appreciates my talents and I appreciate his; who wants to help me work on a special project I have; and with whom I can have great halal intimacy!

  42. Marriage of my dreams:

    - I can comprmise everyhting and anything except for the DEEN. The Brother should love and follow the commandments of Allah swt to the best of his ability and strive to follow the sunnah of Rasool Allah saws. Other things like money and looks are secondary because these things can come and go.
    - Patient Brother who will love me for who I am.
    - Bottom Line: Sincere brother who wants to be a Better Muslim.

  43. As-Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatu

    Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

    I would first like to comment on a few of your statements.

    #36:Man of God.

    I was pretty shocked at your comment about being unable to get married to an American Muslimah because you are not native to this country. I don’t know where you are from, but if you are from a muslim country, you are like a rare commodity for we American Muslimahs. I personally would like to marry a foreigner from a muslim country but, I didn’t think foreigners would be interested.

    #40:Shah Z.K.

    Alhamdullilah you want to get married for that purpose, it is highly recommended that you do so if that is your main concern. As for having three wives, it takes a whole lot for a man to manage this. I hope you are strong enough to handle this enormous task. One woman is a lot to handle let alone three. But if you honestly feel that you will be able to fulfill all of their rights, overcome your nuffs and treat them totlly equal (to what you have control) and adequatley provide for all those children, May Allah give you the strength, will, provisions and wisdom to do so, Ameen. You will be contributing to our ummah a great deal, in so many ways.

    For the: “eye’s ONLY for me” sista’s

    Masha Allah. May Allah increase your faith in this and all other areas. Ever since I accepted Islam 4yrs ago, I can honestly say that I have never had a problem with polygyny. I actually prefer it. I think it can be a very beautiful experience for every one if they can just overcome their nuffs and jealousy. I know we are made from the crooked part of the rib and being jealous is a part of our natural make up. But we should try to over come this flaw. What happened to wanting for your sister what you want for yourself. As long as that man can make you feel how you want to feel when your with him, why is it so hard for you to want your sister in islam to be provided that same feeling, insha Allah, even if it means with your husband. It has been my experience, to witness, that people who adimately don’t want polygyny get the worst of it. Allah is gonna test you in your areas of weakness. How often do you see that if you like something of this dunyah so much ( you have some material possession that you love) that Allah somehow takes it away. Allah ordains things for a reason and as you can clearly see, woman out number the men and we all have to get married at one time or another. So try to open your hearts and minds. Polygyny too, can bring you and your husband closer together and increase his love for you. Just remember, your husband is YOUR ticket to jannah, not vice versa. Your gonna have to share him in jannah anyway so get practice now. Allah loves the one who sacrifices for his sake.

  44. Assalam Alaikum,

    Honestly, I just want to be with some one who is compatible with me. He does not have to be perfect at all. Just perfect for me :-)

  45. Patience! Patience! Patience….

    I need my husband to just let things go and move on from matters of dispute a lot faster from what currently occurs

    Also, separation from a culture that has a lot of talk about others.. I want him to not be like his parents or his grandparents who grew up in a society that had a lot of jealousy, money-pride, and back-biting… we are better than that and he needs to know that a way to successfully live with each other means two things: culture and discussion about US and our life only.

  46. salam alaikum

    here is a short summary…
    i dream about being the best pious wife and finding the best pious husband possible. i want to be the pious wife in actions, thoughts, words. wanting to look after the one whom he loves, his mother and father. being a role model for his sister. someone who is with him through hardships and support him physically financially like Hadhrat Khadijah to Prophet Muhammad (saw) who was his favourite wife. i want to be able to joke with him like Hadhrat Aisha and keep this marriage enlightened.
    i also dream about getting islamic knowledge from him and spending time islamically rather than going out to restuarents, etc.

    my wants, aspirations are:
    - becoming an islamic/religious studies teacher
    -going hajj with my spouse
    -going to a porr country and helping the poor,- i dream of building an orphanage for the poor with my husband.

    i stay up in night dreaming about having a loving relationship with husband, i dream about me bieng there for him in every hardship sympathising and empathising with him and giving advice.
    fulfilling duties of a wife e.g. household work.
    looking after his mother and father treating them like my own loving them because they are the parents of the one i love my husband.

    wa alaikumussalam warahmatullah.
    p.s i hope my dreams aspirations has helped you in some way and forgive me if it was tooooo long to read. i am not a scholar nor a knowledgeable person but just wanted to say…
    May Allah always guide us unto the straight path and manifest our intentions in our actions. ameen

  47. in addition to the previous comment, i wanted to say that i dont stay up in night dreaming, but if i were to then this is what i would dream of.
    and i also want a stable upright family and teach my children the fundamantals of islam aswell as other things.
    insha Allah
    Fee Amanillah

  48. I wish to be married to someone who has Islamic Adab and who has this deen in him and always striving for it. Someone who respects his elders and is kind to his equals and those who are younger.

  49. i just want to be happy. i would like a marriage where i am respected by my partner who sees me as an equal. i’d like us to have similar goals and for him to be supportive of me in whatever i am doing.
    i would like someone who is easygoing and who doesn’t hold onto the past or make mountains out of molehills. this is very important.

    i basically want that old cliche… a best friend as my partner and companion.

  50. Assalamu alaykum wr wb

    I am dreaming about man who will be really smarter then me (using that in good way), who will be with strongr iman than me and in same time with more wisdom then me to know how to make me better then him :)

    Someone who likes females, who is real man but in same time who will not look my kids or have bad dreams, or use internet to look bad girls or porno videos or to look around on girls or on guys to make bisexual relations with them…

    Simply someone who knows how to love real female. Who is clean in mind and body and who can sing good for my soul only :)

    ….ufff it is enough :)

  51. while reading comments i know exactly who had what problems before and who is who and sometimes who comes from which culture :) ))
    jazakallah kulle khair o team because they want to understand us ;)
    salam

  52. What do you DREAM about the MOST?
    Used to dream not any more, we get everything in life that we truly desire. I missed the prime time.

    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?
    I wasted my youth over education and career, now I want a family. May be its too late to ask.

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?
    I do not stay up nor dream.

    As humans we have a tendency to believe that we’re masters of our destinies. The reality is all we have are a few choices. Few years back I made a bad choice. I decided to delay getting married and focus on my career. I missed that moment, I got what I strived for but today I have no one to share my success with. Words such as compatibility, chemistry, perfect match, etc have different meanings as we grow. Bottom line, please try not to mess with time and do not miss the moment. Hopefully you’ll make better choices and have a blessed life.

  53. What do you DREAM about the MOST?
    having a loving husband, someone who i can share everything with. also, someone who will help me for this world as well as the hereafter.

    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?
    - to be a best muslim i can be
    - have a good islamic husband
    - have a marriage where we can both become better muslims, insha allah
    - have islamically sound children
    - meet my husband and kids (if i live for that long) in paradise, insha-allah

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?
    - whether i will ever find that guy :P .Insha-allah, i need to put my trust in allah because he knows what’s best for me.

  54. A wife who will love my mother for who she is (i have heard a lot of mom-in law, daughter-in-law feuds).
    A wife who understands when the husband really doesnt have money :)
    A wife who is open as ever, and doesnt hide emotions
    A wife who aims to benefit the community, whether it is through teaching, activities, even providing food to neighbors etc…

  55. the wisdom behind the creation of eve from adam’s rib is to protect his herat, the source of emotions and feelings, to be the gate of his heart and for him to be her man that she would depend and lean on and seek for shelter.
    the marriage of my dreams would come true when i share my life with a man of mind and heart, a man he would always know that i’m not perfect, but i seek for perfection for him, so he will forgive and forget.
    we would share the same goal and that is to be able to build and be a stronge block in this ummah.

  56. to @Wisdom is no Mans territory

    i agree with you that is really hard today to find man with wisdom :)
    but as hadith said there is part of wisdo humanbeeing, try to get it.

    You din’t miss the moment, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT YOUR MOMENT AT ALL!!!

    All what we miss was not for us, and all what happend to us we were not able to miss…hadith said that not me.

    And du3a can change destiny. Pray and we will pray for you also.
    May Allah help all of us, ameen

  57. A nice trend that is noticeable here…

    The ladies want to be excellent wives, pleasing to their husbands and supportive of them. On the other hand, the men are saying they would like their wives to be open with them, sharing their thoughts and feelings and great companions in general. Isn’t this what each side really wants? :)

  58. I always dream of a marriage wherein we’ll treat each other with utmost love, care,understanding and, above all, the fear of Allah.
    A marriage in which my spouse, my partners, the children and I will live our lives in complete obedience to the rules of Allah and sunnah of His Rasul, Muhammad (S.A.W).

  59. Assalamu Alykum brother and sister

    I dont remember most of my dream, i know that usualy start what I did all day and then its just goes to its own…

    i think about who is going to be my life partner, if that person going to be good muslim,wife, mother and person. no one is perfect but close to it, try to be better muslim.

    its hard to find someone nice with some balance with deen n duynia, most of people look for status, income, position. what happen to deen, honesty.

    May Allah grant us all the highest of Paradise IA. And of course an amazing Wife/husband! we all deserve it. Ameen.

    Wa’aalikum salaam

    brother and sister

  60. the marriage of my dreams is for both of us to love each other so much that we miss each other when we depart from one another like newly weds…tyring to keep the marriage very alive, always!…also, i would love it if we both showed mercy, understanding, care to one another and never took each other for granted…and never compared how much one is doing for the other, but is always grateful for how much we do for one another be it little or a lot…always happy and content…

    it is also very very very important that we work together on everything including housework, taking care of children, teaching one another, teaching our children…our ultimate goal is the hereafter, so if we help each other towards a beautiful hereafter, that is the most important thing…my dream marriage would be one in which we both help each other and cooperate in bettering our akhira…

  61. salamu alaykum
    The marriage of my dream is to have a GOD fearing husband who will love,care and be blessed with childrens and offer all the responsibilities ordered islamically. And also my dream is for the marriage to be a source of happiness for us and our families

  62. i only expect a brother who loves allah more than anything . i will inshaallah do alla those things which allah has ordered . our goal should b same that is to strive in the way of allah. for the love of allah .i actuallay for this purpose love the idea of polygamy it is easy to find that kind of husband if polygamy is practised widly in our country but unfortunatly no body is practicing it now

  63. Assalamu Alaikum,

    This is always a topic of conversation, and of dua’a. I guess it cannot hurt again.

    I’m looking for a man.

    A man who is fully upright and fears Allah at even his worst moments, and seeks Him and His forgiveness at his best. He loves his family and is beloved of his friends, and is constantly trying to follow the example of the Prophet saws within his ability. He seeks first to understand, then be understood. He gives and allows others to give. And he does not consider any of the above to take in any way from his masculinity.

    The husband of my dreams is a hard worker and the true head of his household, extremely intelligent, one who consults me fully, and then makes major decisions based on that and what he knows is right within Islam. Of course, he understands the value of time and of good interpersonal communication.

    I cannot wait to begin to set and meet goals for my family with that man.

  64. I dream about my husband holding me in his arms and making me feel protected. I dream of looking into his eyes and telling him he is the purpose of why im breathing and where I find peace in my heart. I want him to be my strength my back bone my hope for everything. My ticket to jennah…helping eachother get closer to Allah swt and seeking his pleasure, the ultimate purpose. I will keep praying qiym al layl until I find him. If I don’t find him on earth atleast I know inshallah I will meet him in jennah one day. Knowing he exists is beautiful within itself.

  65. Bismillah as salamu alaikum wa rahmatullah.

    What do you DREAM about the MOST? Tranquil house.
    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS? To own my own business and finish school.

    ■What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

    Assalamualaikum,

    ok I am doing this on the sly and really hoping that people are not reading this…*looks over shoulder*

    ■What do you DREAM about the MOST?

    Getting married to a man of my dreams!

    ■What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?

    The Qualities I want in a husband;caring, compassionate, good listener and is always interested in what I have to say, problem-solver, good communicator, has a sense of humour, able to control his anger, well educated (esp in deen), similar background to me I was born and bred in England so definitely someone who can relate with living and growing up the west. Someone who is able to look past the exterior and truly realise that beauty is skin deep. Fair and balanced.

    Aspirations: to strive hard to make the marriage work, to bring up our children in an Islamic environment (within the home/schooling etc), to be on a quest to make dawah everyday (spread the word of Islam until our last dying breaths), to able to communicate with our children openly about many issues (pertaining to the world and Islam). To make our children Alims/Hafiz etc. Basically to have children to carry on the legacy of Islam so that Inshallah us parents benefit from the fruits of our hard work in the hereafter.

    And last but not least what do I stay up dreaming about at night?

    To be in the arms of the love of my life (I think I can speak for most sisters lol)

    Wasalaam.

  74. 1)What do you DREAM about the MOST?
    2)What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?
    3)What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

    1) Wondering what my husband will be like, who allah has in store for me. Marrying a brother who is religious and simple and keeps to the deen. Someone who i can spend time with, doing everything and anything.. just sharing the little things in life and inshallah having a BIG family. :D

    2) Someone i can grow in the deen with, i have a lot more to learn and it be nice to have someone who is on the same jourany, someone constantly looking to better thier knowladge and someone who wants a companion on this journay, a wife and a best friend.
    I aspire to be a good mother, to nuture my children to be good muslims.
    Someone i can share things with, my knowladge and what i know, my ideas and my thoughts inshallah helping us grow togther. Someone i can look after and love, someone of my own inshallah. (I dont share so no second wives.

    3)Not being so lonely, i suppose like most other women going to bed and being with your soul mate your companion.w
    A man who has comman ground, our foundations are the same so no matter how else we differ our aspirations and our goals are the same, we strive to worship allah everyday and strive to please allah to get to jannah inshallah. To raise pious children and better our community.
    Someone who has Taqwa so he wont ever take advantage fo me, or do things selfishly as he fears allah. Someone who loves me for the sake of allah and does things for me for the sake of allah, even when he doesnt want to… he does it becuase he loves allah and he therefore loves me.

    jazakallah khier

  75. The marriage of my dreams is to marry a stranger upon the deen follower of the Sunnah a coolness to my eyes. A Muslim man who is humble and fearful of the akhirah. Haleemun (soft/kind/caring)I want him to be the best to his family, protect us, encourage us, make amazing dua’as for us, love us. Strive to protect his family from very evil, a leader who is strives to be different from the Jews/Christians. I want us to have an entire family that strives to seek the truth, be just and call to Allaah. I want my husband to remind our offspring about the rights of their mother and I will remind them about the rights of their father. For my husband to help me when I get angry and for me to help him when he is angry. I want my husband to sit on (literally way me down/smother) me when I get nervous until it passes—I get panic attacks when I freak out….I freak out because of sins/responsibilities.
    For us to gain deep knowledge, make lots of money in the wisest ways and spend it on the path of Allaah, remember Allaah with much remembrance and taste no drink the sweetness of Imaan. I want me family to sit before fajr and recite Quran, and classical works on tafseer, to pray qiyaam sometimes together some times alone for us all to be skillful in arabic…adopt Islamic tradition. I hope the we take the truthful as companions, aide each other against Shytaan. Become relievers to those close to us in secret/open. To be revivers of the Sunnah merciful to the people especially caring/merciful to the believers. For us to be friends with the masakeen and the poor…to love Allaah and His messenger more then we love each other and anything else besides them. For us to cry in secret over the death of the Prophet SAW and the trails of the dunyah/grave/akhirah. For us to spread cheer to Muslims who are being tested…
    To be amongst the true slaves of Allaah…insha Allaah ta3alaa it’s not a dream it’s something that I strive for.
    wa bilLaahi tawfeeq

  76. .
    What do you DREAM about the MOST?

    I dream of my husband waking me up for Tahajjud … I dream of having a united front against our kids inshAllah…(ive always loved my parents good cop/bad cop routine!)

    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?

    I want to be the one woman for my husband…who he knows he can rely on for anything and everything. I want a husband who will be my sheild against the outside world, although many have told me I’m usually the leader/ king of the jungle…thats only because I havent found my king.

    I want to have sons and daughters who will be the leaders of this ummah…I want my husband to be the father when he is meant to be a father, the friend when he is meant to be a friend, the leader, the protector…all the time being actively supported by me.

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

    I stay up thinking about the family Allah Most High has destined for me…and there is this blur in my husbands face… just waiting to replace the blur with a face inshAllah :-)

  77. my dream marriage would be a simple family life where I’ve a husband whom I can trust, who lowers his gaze for the sake of Allah, who stays up at night for qiyam & prays with me, where I’ve a partner who has so much haya that he doesn’t like free-mixing neither wanna mix with non-mahrams (if it is inevitable such as at work thats different) whther its my sisters/sisters-in-laws or his sisters-in-laws or any other sister in islam who is his non-mahram. In short a good life with a man who have ijjah, who doesn’t let me mix with non-mahram neither he mixes with his ghair mahram. Loves me & only me for the sake of Allah (no second marriage untill I die) & provides for me & my kids in future. Who is strong in his deen & has much taqwa. If he turns out to be a sincere, pious, family man then alhamdulillah because I’m also verrrry simple & family oriented.

    I want him to give me attention when I need it. If I do any mistakes then try to correct me nicely & be my friend. I didn’t have any ‘true friend’ throughout my life. Thus I want a hubby who takes care of me like my parents, chill with me like my buddy & guides me when I need it.

    If I get a husband who has such taqwa & sense of ghirah I’ll be ready to leave my professional life for him but the thing is how many brothers lower their gaze now-a-days?!! I don’t understand whats the meaning of keeping beard if they can’t control their nafs. May Allah guide us all & grant us righteous spouses! Ameen.

  78. 1) a peacuful married life built on:
    truth, sincerity, love, mercy, understanding and devotion…
    2) being comfort of the eyes, and peace of the heart for each other…
    3) walking on the way to Jannah supportig each other…
    4) together forever… (being best for each other in deen, dunya and aakhirah)
    5) having pious offsprings…
    INSHA ALLAH!

    may all my muslim brothers’ and sisters’ dreams come true… Aameen!

  79. My dream marriage would be having a partner in life and deen who is interested and passionate about the same things I am, who really appreciates and understands me, who showers me with kind words every day. When we disagree we can politely talk about it and discuss it without getting angry or raising our voices to each other. He would be my confidant and my safety net. He would be there for me when I need him, kind, loving and understanding. Our hearts would be brought together my iman and taqwa and out life would be dedicated towards bettering ourselves and serving Allah, subhana wa taala.

  80. my dreams- to find someone who lives 4 only me n no other

    what i want is someone who complements me- physically, financially and this is kind of an aspiration

    i stay up at night from the stress of the world and just only dream about someone who is there 4 me whenever i need- emotionally sweet, thoughtful, honest and supportive. this is my most fundamental dream from the bottom of my heart.

  81. What I really dream about is to have the utmost pious husband who is lives in striving to please Allah(swt). He will be most loving and protect me and be faithful and compassionate towards me. He would be the best of both worlds…a hard working doctor in this world and a hafidh ul Quran and he would be very knowledgable in both worldly matters as well as in the deen. He would be a very open minded and balanced individual and be very patient and caring for his wife and sincerely help her to become a better person and a better muslimah.

  82. > What do you DREAM about the MOST?

    - I’ve always dreamed about being with the person Allah (SWT) has created for me, being the best Wife/Mother to our children, & practicing Islam together.

    > What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?

    - I want a Husband who will always be by my side through thick & thin. Trusting, understanding & loving me unconditionally. I want him to remind me of Allah (SWT) if I don’t. I want someone who loves kids, building a family together & much more….

    > What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

    - I stay up thinking/wondering what the future holds for me. Will I be married sooner than I think? Will I have a lot of children like I’ve always wanted? Only Allah (SWT) knows best & Insha’Allah ALL goes as what has been planned.

  83. What do you DREAM about the MOST?
    I mostly dream about being married to someone who is deeply devoted in his deen, and can help me increase my iman as well as knowledge, and i do the same for him. i wish to live a very active and fruitful life, both personally as well as out in the community- Islamic community that it. Someone who can help me strive to improve conditions within our Muslim community in whatever way we possibly can. And most importantly, i dream about raising God fearing little scholars who will continue to carry our legacy of trying to improve our conditions as Muslims insha Allah! lol, i even know the names i wish to name my children- or plan on- insha Allah. I wish to have the next little Sh. Bukhari and Muslim as well as little aspiring Aasiyahs and Aishas! Insha Allah Ta’Cala!

    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?
    My wants is to improve my knowledge, practices, as well as habits so as to not only attract a very religious man, but so that i can help others who may be struggling with their imans and are too trying to improve their ways too insha Allah. My aspiration is to work primarily with adolescents and women insha Allah, and my husband can work with the brothers :-) .

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?
    Retiring in the evening into a warm and cozy home where i know my loving husband waits just to cuddle with me. I love attention, and though i may want a very religious man, it doesn’t mean that i want a dull man without spark. I look forward to sharing a life and bed with a man i can joke around with and play games with, and yet find time to snuggle together and go to bed. I would like a husband that looks out for my wellbeing and takes great care of me and our children, a man who’s not only a father to his children but also a “dad”… that is, a man who finds some time out of his busy schedule every week to spend some quality time for his children insha Allah Ta’cala. May Allah Subhana wa Ta’cala bless us all with our “better halfs” insha Allah, Ameen!

  84. What do you DREAM about the MOST?
    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?
    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

    When it comes to marriage,I never think about it,I always think that whatever My parent would decide,I’ll act upon that,But Now I’ve change a little bit,becuase I want islam from my husband,this is the reazon NOW I would ask questions when I’ll get married.And becuase of your programme I began to think that I’ve not know what I want.How dumb I’m???So plane has changed

    1.I want him to be religious becuase If he knows about islam,our marriage would be successfull,and we will learn from each other about islam and life etc etc And I want to go Hajj with him.

    My wishes regarding the marriage are not too much,like the simple girls wants Love,Trust,and I want my husband to be confident that he knows everything about me, I dont want him to make decision without my consultations,And just TRUST on me.This is the key of marriage.I want a husband who always thinks about his family,parents and brother,sisters,I also want him to give time to thier family e.g,mama baba sis bros.

    3.This is the only thing,I never think that I’ll share but I love you Megan appi so I’m going to share….ehum ehum

    After my marriage,I want to be a good house wife and mother.I want my kids to be religious,to memorized the whole Quran and translation,to know about islam.Because If they will do its meanz they will knowabout The way of life.I’ll give full intention to my spouse.we will give our kids a good example as the kids always wants to become like thier parents..And in weekend No phone allowed at him,just spend time with kids and me.We will never fight in front of kids.Yes becus it does a very bad effect on kids.
    May Allah fullfill our wishes and give us The best!!!
    Ammeen Allah Hum’a Aameen

  85. Asalam Alakum:

    I feel like I have waited so long to get married. Is it too much to ask that he be my perfect soul mate? In some ways mirror me, educated, attractive to me, funny, sensitive, takes care of me, and just fabulous! I would love to have kids with him, grow old with him. And in some ways, secretly be the envy of the girls around me, because our relationship is healthy and Islamic! Boy do I make so much dua, with tears and from the bottom of my heart for all of this!

  86. I think most imporatntly I want someone who loves me and has a genuine concern for my well being. Someone whos intelligent academically and islamically. Someone who would be ok if not happy with me spend a good amount of time (years) as a house wife and mother.
    Someone you can be a financial caretaker and morally supportive.
    I want in a marriage to be genuinely happy that the other person exist in my life and to honestly want to spend eternity with them. I want us to both taking pride in raising a child. A big ‘NO’ for me would be someone who yells at children or thinks its ok to beat/ spank their child or a husband who think its ok to yell at me or hit me (without the obvious islamic exception) I want a husband who take pride in his work as well no matter what it is, as long as its halal. I hope in a marriage that we will both be pleased with eachother and not frustrate eachother to much in expectations.
    The perfect marriage is honestly one where Allah is pleased with you and and insha Allah thats the kind of marriage I want.

  87. I dream about someone who truly loves me for who I am. I dream of someone who will be supportive of me. I dream of someone who will make me feel good about who I am instead of making me feel down and depressed about who I am not.

    My dream is to find a very gentle, loving, understanding and caring guy, who has a sense of humor and will brighten my day.

    But most of all, I want him to be my support… not necessarily financially financially, but emotionally… I want someone who will overlook all my faults and find satisfaction in the good I possess. And I don’t want a guy who would abuse me, and my kids and turn the house upside down with his anger… That just hurts.

  88. I never actually sat down to think about a list of what my “dream” marriage would be, but whenever I think about being married I just imagine myself being happy. Just very very happy, satisfied, and comfortable with him and with myself. I imagine myself completing him, and him completing me. I am not even exactly sure how, but I just feel like it will fit like a missing puzzle piece you didnt even know you needed until it fell into place.

    One thing I think about is being attracted to the person, emotionally and physically. I feel like these days almost everytime I think I see someone with good ikhlaq who I find myself emotionally attracted to, a 100% of the time, I am not physically attracted to them. I can not explain this, because I always hear people saying physical attraction comes later on. What I dont understand is, if I can not even imagine standing next to the person, even if he is a very nice, good mannered gentleman, how will physical attraction happen? Allahua3lam, but it is something I sometimes think about and am not at all proud to admit, but its the sad truth.

  89. » What do you DREAM about the MOST?

    I dream about a guy who will always have a smile on his face when he sees me and will always want to cuddle and have me in his arms!

    What are some of your WANTS and ASPIRATIONS?

    my wants are someone who will appreciate me and love me for who i am and some of my aspirations are one who provide us both with the means to gain knowledge of Islam

    What do you stay up at night dreaming about?

    I stay up at night dreaming about having kids, my own home and family, making my husband dinner, spending quality time, going on vacations, out to dinner, lol I could go on and on, you said we don’t have to be rational !

  90. I wish to marry a man who:-

    - knows how to be kind to a woman;
    - gives me the freedom to practice as much “hijaab” as I want;
    - brings in “halaal” income home [ and refrains from getting involved in too many loans].

  91. What do you dream about the most?

    I dream of marrying a man whom I feel was truly created for me. I dream that we will both have unconditional love and respect for each other.

    What are some of your wants and aspirations?

    I want a husband who cares for me and does things for me because he WANTS to, not because he feels like he has to. I want him to be completely truthful with me. When I get married insha’Allah I plan to prefer my husband over myself, so it would be so great to have a husband who prefers me over himself. I want us together to sacrifice for each other. I want someone who understands me, even if I can’t exactly explain myself…he just knows what I mean. I want my husband to be okay with my weaknesses and try to help me with them while not making me feel bad for having them. I want my husband to be my BEST friend whom I can count on and be able to tell him anything I want and vice versa. I want my husband to have the same goals as me so that we can help each other out in achieving our goals and pleasing Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala. I want my husband to be the type of person who tries to never hurt my feelings and talks to me in a calm, kind, loving, and intellectual manner, rather than being rough with me. Basically, when I imagine the “Perfect Marriage” that I would love to have I envision those cute stories about the Prophet sallAllahu ‘alayhi wassallam and ‘Aisha. Every time i hear them, it literally brings tears to my eyes because that’s exactly what I want and its the most perfect life you could ever imagine. When I hear the stories it makes me tear also because it feels like that could never happen to me (its like an unrealistic goal).

    I think I covered it all in the previous question :)
