My life has been full of unexpected
situations. The story is interesting and my journey is amazing. I’m 26 year old
woman, a wife and still, I’m a student. Never had I thought before to be a wife
and a student at the same time. My husband is 28, and he is now working as a
Housemanship Officer in the hospital near my hometown. Meaning, we are in long-distance
marriage. This coming 24th January 2014 will be our first
anniversary. Yes, our marriage is still young and fresh, and there are still
long journey to go. When talking about marriage, Allah says your spouses are
garments for you, a garment may or may not fit perfectly, it covers
imperfections, protects and beautifies. Indeed, I’m not a perfect one for my
husband, but I believe both of us are appreciating our similarities and
respecting our differences for the sake of happy marriage.
Only Allah SWT Knows how grateful I am, once
finally I am getting married with the man who will guide me all the way towards
His Blessing. Reflected back at the moment once I decided to say ‘Yes’ to him, I
feel so calm and relief. I feel so blessed once for first time in my life being
a ‘makmum’ to the ‘imam’ who is my dear husband. That moment has
been the turning point for me to live my life better than before. I believe
that every prayer we ask from Allah, Allah will approve it no matter when, and
no matter how. That is His promise. I still remember the day of our wedding;
all my family members came and cook together. Even my wedding ceremony was
celebrated in a very ordinary and moderate way; it was so happening and
meaningful. All my friends came to celebrate and more importantly all the
guests coming and pray for both of us which is one of the ‘barakah’ in the
marriage.
Now, almost one
year I have been a wife to a wonderful man. We are not always seeing each other
due to this long-distance marriage. But, enough with only a message or a short
conversation with him via phone; it can boost up my strength, refresh my day
and nourish our love. I’m thankful for every phone call I received from him and
I’m thankful for every smile he gives me once I arrived home. It’s priceless.
As a newlywed,
we are not excluded to face a few difficulties in managing our life together
especially in the condition where we live separately. However, Thanks to Allah
because we managed to settle every problems smoothly. The key in the communication
between husband and wife are, to talk and discuss, to listen and being tolerate
if necessary, and to understand each other’s condition. Most importantly,
nothing can help one happy marriage except The Power of Allah and His
Blessings. Every time I remembered and missing my husband, I pray to Allah,
‘May Allah Bless him and Ease his way, May Allah Preserve our love till Jannah’.
I believed that only prayers between two hearts can make the love grows
beautifully.
From now on,
there are still lots of knowledge we have to dig in especially the knowledge about
parenthood. Even though we are not yet getting a child, but the preparation is
the must. Of course I and my husband are dreaming to have a child, but maybe
the condition now is not suitable, in which we are not living together. Anyhow,
we are appreciating our marriage as much as we can before entering the
parenting stage and I’m positively have faith that we will have a child soon,
once Allah Want it happen, then it will happen. When the time is getting hard
for me, he is the one who always being there. His patients and modesty are
indescribable. He accept me as who I am. Indeed, he is a miracle in my life, my
dear husband.
