Dear Aunt Noor,

I am a 26-year-old female. Two months ago, I got engaged to one of my relatives. Honestly, he loves me very much and he has been trying to engage me for four years. He is really a good person who I can count on, but he is not as rich as my family. He struggled a lot in his life until he completed his university, and now he works in a company. The problem is that I think I deserve a better man. I am beautiful and belong to a well known family. Why would I complete my life with that man who is still only starting to build his future. Do you think I should go forward with the marriage or break it and wait for a better man to come? We are only engaged now.

Dear B.B,

I really don’t understand why you want to break up your engagement. All the things you mentioned about your fiancé should let you feel proud of him and not the opposite. These days, it is not easy to find a man who you can count on in everything. I am optimistic about your fiancé, especially that he is developing himself and trying seriously to improve his financial situation. Moreover, you said that he loves you, and he has been trying to marry you for four years. That alone shows how much he really wants you. Now I want to ask you: why would you abandon the current reality and wait for miracles to happen. How could you guarantee that someone better than him will come and ask for your hand? Suppose that happened, can you also guarantee that the new man will love you like your current fiancé?

Therefore, my advice to you is to close the doors against these thoughts and be satisfied with your current fiancé. Never think that you are not lucky because your fiancé is not as rich as you. I am sure that a lot of females wish to marry someone like your fiancé. Besides, a good woman is the one who supports her husband in difficult times and stands by him. Support him in every way you can, even by  simple encouraging words. Believe me, you will feel the beauty of life more when you feel that you are  part of your husband’s success.

 

Wish you all the best my dear.
