Marriages involve hard work - careful planning, sacrifice, sensitivity, compassion, tolerance, empathy, etc. etc. If you are a Muslim, add 2 more elements - “doa” and “tawakkal”. Even after all that, things can still go haywire. Recently, a friend of mine who has been married for many years shocked me with news that her husband divorced her to marry his co-worker.
It was like watching a soap opera listening to her pouring her heart out. The ex-husband holds a very high post in an organization and makes a 5-figure salary a month. So I guess that woman was after his money and position. The sad part is that my friend is not working because her ex-husband asked her to quit her job much earlier in their marriage in order to take care of their children.
I am not going to make any judgment because I don’t know the whole truth of what happened but there are a few good lessons to be learned as women:
1. Always be grateful of what we have. Do not look for a greener pasture because the color changes as you get to it.
2. Do not love a person too much, the more you do the worse the effects are.
3. Always trust in the Creator, because in Islam, there are no co-incidences. All things happened for reasons.
4. Never give up your job for any man! And,
5. Money can't buy everything, especially happiness, health, and peace.
Stay cool …
