"I don't care if I am 55 when I finish school, I will not get married until I finish my education.

"
The above is a quote from a young Muslim woman pursuing what she calls her "education."
Unfortunately, her strong dedication to finishing the Western undergraduate and graduate
university "education" system reflects the ever growing trend among young Muslims in this
society: to wait until they possess a "degree" before entertaining the prospect of marriage. What
is even grimmer is the fact that these young Muslims' parents reflect the same diseased ideology.
Somehow, the Western system of "education" has replaced Islam as the central priority in
Muslims' lives.
It refrains men from unproductive and bad habits. Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) (Allah be pleased with him)
reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to us: O young men, those among you
who can support a wife should marry, for it restrains eyes (from casting evil glances) and preserves one
from immorality; but he who cannot afford It should observe fast for it is a means of controlling the
sexual desire.
Ive been able to watch my husband transform from the long-haired, baby-faced teenager I used to
make-out with at house parties into a hardworking, loving husband and father.
How would it feel to graduate together? Landing the first big job, saving up for the very first car. These
all will contribute in achieving a milestone together.
Even the young couples parents could easily bring up the children. (If any)
I have seen a lot of couples got married after their successful relationship since just secondary
school. And also have seen many break ups after years long relationship.
