Having an emotionally mature partner is TOP TIER. You're able to express yourself freely and openly. They don’t insult you. They don't give you the silent treatment. They don't become aggressive or manipulative. They listen, they respond—they patiently hold a safe space for you.

when things really hurt you, they make you quiet.

everything i tolerated in the past disgusts me now.

I pray for a marriage in which we can worship together sometimes. Not all the time, but sometimes. Praying tahajjud together, reviewing Quran together, attending Islamic classes together, or just sitting silently together after Fajr and Asr and doing our morning and evening athkar. I want a relationship that focuses on growing closer to Allah as a team, as a unit.

men with calm voices. it’s like a tight hug that feels like everything will be okay. i love that.
