It's Not Easy....For Everyone to Find a Spouse.

Image
DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert on Marriage or finding a Spouse. :)   Since I started doing these Marriage Matchmaking Events in Sept 2015, I have had many Singles call/text me and even approach me in person about their struggles of finding a spouse.  Some even cry to me.  And they still do this.  They want someone to listen and want to ask for advice.  Often, they think something is wrong with them or that they are doing something wrong because their friends are married with kids or the friends are getting married..............yet they themselves are still Single.  I hear all kinds of stories.  Some Singles find a Spouse quickly.  For others, it takes some time.  Some Singles get married in their 20s.  Some don't get married until they are in their 30s, 40's, etc.  That's is Allah's plan for your life and there's no way around it.  Some Sisters are worried about their "biological clock ticking", that time is "running out".  Some Singles

Waiting Lists Happen. BUT.....I do Get Cancellations Sometimes!

Image
I ALWAYS have Waiting Lists for our Events! Sometimes, they are quite long. I tell Singles that if they really want to attend an Event AND don't want to be on the Waiting List, they need to Register ASAP as soon as I start Registration. I always announce ahead of time the date that I will start registration. Thankfully I do get cancellations sometimes. So 1 by 1, I contact Singles on the Waiting List. Sometimes they can no longer make the event. So I make my way down t he list. POINT BLANK: If a Waiting List has started, go ahead and still register. Because those ahead of you on the Waiting List may no longer be able to attend. # muslimmarriageevent # houstonmuslimsingles # houstonmuslimmatrimonial # muslimsingles # greaterhoustonsinglemuslims # singlemuslims # muslimmatchmakingevent # marriagematchmakingevent # houstonsinglesevents # muslimconvert # muslim # halfofdeen

FAQ: Why Don't You Have Profiles We Can Look At?

FAQ: WHY DON'T YOU HAVE PROFILES WE CAN LOOK AT? Below is actually an updated post to my original FAQ post I made on June 10, 2016 ----> FAQ: Do You Have Profiles I Can Look At? -  http://bit.ly/DoYouHaveProfilesICanLookAtGHSM I do understand the desire for this as well. Our events are different. Our Slogan is "Get to Know a Person, not a Profile". Profiles are just that, Profiles. Someone can look good on paper but might not be so good in person. In person, you can see  if there is Chemistry & Attraction. You get to see their body language, their facial expressions and hear their tone of voice. You don't get this with Profiles. Plus Profiles make it easy for you to pre-judge people before you have met them and given them a solid chance. I know TOO MANY people that would have totally brushed their spouses off if they only went by a profile. This is why I don't use profiles. My hubby totally agrees with me on this as well. # muslimmarriag

Keep an Open Mind - Get to Know People First - Give People a Chance

KEEP AN OPEN MIND - GET TO KNOW PEOPLE FIRST - GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE Some people ask why I put Never Married, Divorced/Widowed, those with Children, 20s & 30s all in the same room at our Events. Our Events welcome Singles that are Divorced/Widowed, those with children, etc. Some local Scholars said there is Wisdom in putting everyone in the same room to meet, and not grouping people for specific criteria. I will speak from personal experience below but I have MANY MORE exam ples to give. I myself was looking for an older husband, that was black, without children and that has US Citizenship or Greencard. My husband is a few years younger than me, is white Egyptian, has a daughter and we met when he was here only with a Business Visa. He didn't even have a Student or Work Visa....it was a Business Visa. He was the total opposite of what I was looking for. He was looking for a younger wife that was tall and skinny. He got the total opposite of what he was look

MEETING SINGLES DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BORING!  So that you will learn a lot about the other Singles, our events include: * A quick fun Ice Breaker game called NEVER HAVE I EVER (look on YouTube) * A quick fun Ice Breaker game called THIS OR THAT (look on YouTube) * A quick fun Ice Breaker called PICK A CARD * Speed Round of Yes or No questions * Followed by the Singles asking their own questions Though our events are serious and for the purpose of finding a spouse, you will find yourself having conversations and laughing through the event, enjoying your time/having fun in a controlled and respectful environment.
