The Marriage plan – A checklist - Before and After

Marriage is a legal bonding or contract between two individual. It is an institution to be built on a solid foundation called love. This would include stability, a life time commitment, parenthood, responsibilities, knowledge on religious, spirituality, strong emotions and trust. A formalized wedding ceremony may also be called as matrimony. By getting married, you are not just getting a wife; you are getting your whole world (wink to Shuhandy). Till the rest of the life, your wife will be your partner, your companion and your best friend. She will share your moments, be it ups or down, your successes and your failures. She will be by your side. In short, you will be her whole world.

It is also a moral safeguard as well as a social building block. Through marriage, families are established and the family is considered to be the fundamental unit of the society. In Islam, marriage is the only valid or halal way to indulge in intimacy between a man and woman. So before I sail myself into this marriage life, I need more research and planning and checklist.
