Why do we, as Muslims, make marriage and relationships so complicated?
I've come to realize that we complicate marriages and relationships to such an extent that people turn to haram alternatives because they're more accessible. This issue isn't just limited to Muslims; it's becoming a broader societal trend where fewer people want to commit to a marriage or serious relationship.
Then, when individuals resort to haram practices like paying for sex or engaging with escorts to fulfill their desires, they're immediately judged for it. As Muslims, we need to rethink how we approach marriage and make it easier for people. For example, I've seen on Muslim dating apps that people often have unrealistic expectations, setting standards that don’t align with their own reality—whether in terms of appearance or where they are in life. We need a reality check and start being more pragmatic, so that we can revive the true essence of marriage and relationships.
