Are You Right for Him?

هل تصلحين له ؟

1 — Are you a sincere lover, without jealousy?
2 — Can the two of you discuss an important matter without turning it into a personal affair between you?
3 — Are you prepared to take his temperament into account and go along with it?
4 — Are you patient with his tiresome relatives?
5 — Do you receive his friends cheerfully and become their friend?
6 — Do you praise his work?
7 — Do you still adorn yourself as if you two were sweethearts for the first time?
8 — Do you come when he needs you, even if it means a sacrifice?
9 — Have you begun preparing yourself for married life by adding to your household knowledge?
10 — Do you two spend money on pleasure, or do you think of saving it for your home?

If you have marked yes to all the questions, that is hard to believe — for if you merge yourself into his personality beyond the proper limit, you two will come to a parting. So a no, once or twice, is desirable.
