Here are some random advice -I wish I’ve been told earlier- for newly weds, engaged and single ladies..

1- Gozek 3la ma te3awedih.. so don’t overload yourself with duties that would turn into a burden later on!
You are not a super hero so don’t act like one!
Ex: no cooking on weekends, you can only do the light cleaning but you need a maid at least once a week.. it’s not ok to run all the errands while he is me2antakh 3al kanaba

2- Respect is off limits! Don’t waste your life with a husband who physically abuses you..

3- Your mom can ruin your relationship just as much as your mom in-law can..
So set the limits from the very beginning for BOTH!

4- Treat your in-laws like you treat your parents; they will treat you as their daughter.. 7amaty konbela zareya da fil aflam bas..
Khaliki bent nas w metrabeya mahma 7asal..
Respecting them is part of respecting your husband and yourself..

5- Never- I repeat never- put yourself in the situation where your husband has to choose between you and his family.. most probably you will lose.. so balash a7san!

6- Your intimate relationship is very important!!
Spice it up, be creative, enjoy it and most importantly make it fun!

7- You want it? Say it!
The “Hatly ward ya ibrahim” is the best strategy..
Don’t force it w afsh w ghalasa.. keep it light and fun!

8- Space! You both need space.. encourage him to go out with his friends and he should do the same with you.. again within limits! Maygeesh 3aliki 3shan 7ad!

9- Your friends won’t tell you how wonderful marriage is unless they want to brag.. they will always complain. .
Marrige is like life.. ups and downs, good and bad, smiles and frowns, failures and successes. . It’s the whole deal!

10- kids are here to make your life complete.. you need a loooot of time, money, energy, and skills to teach, train and raise them well.. so plan accordingly. .
Follow your intuition. . If it says one is enough, then kalam tant madiha of “7aram 3aliki tesebih lewa7do wel atfal a7bab allah “dah ermih wara dahrek.. you know best!

11- Life with your husband isn’t a battle or a destination that you need to reach.. it’s a journey so enjoy the ride!

12- Don’t compare..

13- Don’t get married unless your mind and heart are telling you that HE is the ONE. If either don’t agree, then you will always have something missing in your life..

14- Your parents are right 90% of the time.. so if your mom goes ” ana msh merta7a lel wad dah howa w omo”.. most probably she is right. .

15- Marriage is all about mutual compromise

16- Ų§Ł„Ł„ŁŠ Ł…Ų§ ŁŠŲ­Ų·Ł†ŁŠŲ“ ŁƒŲ­Ł„ ŁŁŠ Ų¹ŁŠŁ†Ł‡ŲŒ Ł…Ų­Ų·ŁˆŲ“ Ų“ŲØŲ“ŲØ ŁŁŠ Ų±Ų¬Ł„ŁŠ..
Unless you know & feel how precious you are, no one else will..
