Deciding who to marry is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Many men approach this question by trying to meet as many other Muslim singles as possible. There are a few tried and true methods of meeting the women who are as interested in forming a strong, lasting Muslim marriage as you are. Keep these tips in mind when it is time to meet and date other marriage-minded singles.

Be Willing to Take Some Chances

While men in the Muslim dating scene might be after a variety of different things, you should not let the goals you have in mind – whether marriage, friendship, or dating – get in the way of making a woman’s acquaintance. Do not be too set on one particular type of مسلمة; you never know what kind of person might be in an unexpected package. Someone who you do not instantly think of as wife material might in fact be someone of great quality.

Be Up Front About What You Want

Meeting another marriage-minded single is only the first part. Discovering a strong, mutual compatibility is the key to establishing a bond that could lead to marriage. To this end, it is important to communicate what exactly you want out of the relationship. Figuring this out can be challenging. Try asking yourself some questions such as:

• What does the ideal marriage look like?
• How can I best contribute to the creation of an ideal marriage?
• What do I expect my wife to bring to the marriage?
• How can I support her in her role as wife, مسلمة and mother?
• What support do I expect from her?

The Search is Important

Searching for the right person might seem frustrating but keep in mind that this stage is very important. Keeping your highest ideals in mind throughout the search will help your successes feel all the more precious. Do not lose hope and try to think of the process of meeting other singles as a positive experience.
