interesting huh? well, i kept saying that i want to get a soon as possible though i am still 20. kind of young but it's not possible. i knew a friend who was getting married at the age 20. she's beautiful and gorgeous. a very nice person too. i remember her vividly during my childhood that she took the lesson 'taekwondo' with me. i was around 8-9 years old back then. i still remember the moment my teacher said that she is going to get married soon to a guy, quit the taekwondo when she became his and i said..
"baru umur 20, awalnye akak 2 kawen! xpe ke?"
haha.. i never get an answer to that question when i was a kid. i was still young at that time. if anyone explain to me at that time, i may not understand a thing. it's a grown up stuff. now, the whole 'marriage' thing kept coming to me. the issue doesn't stop. almost everyday i heard the idea of marriage by anyone else i bumped to or i will start to talk about it. haha..
i realized that marriage is a big responsibility. like he used to said, it is not only about the guy and the girl, but it consider the family as well. plus, you need to think about the consequences, especially for those who get married as a student. you have to take care of your husband and the family needs (if you have kids) and your study.
there are beneficial things and quite 'unbeneficial' thing.
you have someone that you can count on, someone that you can rely on like for example, both of you are student and both of you study abroad. you have no close friends and family there to support you. yes, you may have your same course-mate but it will not be the same. they are not family. family and friends are different. you are closer to your family and they knew the best of you. i have to admit, even i rarely called my parents, even once a week. but if you have to stay overseas for years, that is going to be tough. my brother's girlfriend likes to say that she was homesick, she can't wait for holiday and stuff. even my roommate get homesick^^.
your partner will sometime be your study-mate that's for sure. i read an article with a headline
"PRESTASI CEMERLANG LEPAS KAHWIN"so? you can be successful even though you are married. last thursday night i was watching 'semanis kurma' in tv9 with ustazah B and husband as MC and ustaz Z and wife as quest. a talk about 'married while studying'. i will not miss this opportunity!! so i texted my mom to watch it but my parents in CHINA!! so sad
anyway, ustaz Z's wife said that her studies result's increased quite high and ustaz Z pointed his finger to her and said that "she's the one who was helping me with the assignment-->>" haha..cute! NOTE; she does not torture her okay? it was the life of husband and wife where they helped each other together. isn't it wonderful?
*sigh
i'm so jealous of them. that night, i watched it with ZF,NA and kak M and we were all like wanting to get marry like pronto!
but.
make sure and remember that you must concentrate because you are still a student. if the guy has already work then it's fine. for students, warning that you must support the family and give 'nafkah' to them (guys). your responsibility is high and make sure that you excel in your studies. don't think that both of you have already tied the knot and everything is settled. it was just a starting point. later on, you will need to do things on your own, without your parents help.
kind of difficult though. lately my friends kept saying that it has become a trend of going getting married at a young age. but for me, it is a good thing because you can avoid of doing 'maksiat'. know what i'm saying? but if you x mampu, then try read about
'nikah khitbah' or some say . for some people, they don't agree with the idea of 'nikah gantung' but you decide. if you want to get married so badly, then discuss with both family. i'm not some ustazah to decide whether it is haram or halal to do so. just giving my opinion ^^.
as for me, i thought of getting married before i go to India. i have to talk my mom first because for his side, everything is quite settled ^^. pray for us ok?
