Marriage in Islam
Your partner in marriage is your clothes are one perspective marriage in Islam. Muhammad SAW, the prophet of Islam gives that thought. I am not going to discuss about the verse, and any thing related on the religion. Because, I am not quite understand about it. But what I am going to share is my thought about the statement that our partner is our clothes.
Even we are not committing a marriage in Islam, but I believe that line was for every body. What is a clothes use for us? Its use for cover all us up. Cover from what? It was giving us the protection from the weather and gives us sense of comfort. And beside that the clothes are protect us socially. Now can’t go anywhere without our clothes right?
This is the same function of our partner in marriage on Islam perspective. Our Husband or Wife should be our protection to any kind of ‘weather’ and give us sense of comfort on social matter.
The second one is how we choose our clothes. We like to watch a super model walk on the run way, and see how the dress fit them very nicely. But if we decide to wear our own, I can a sure that we are not going to use the same clothes as on the run way. Why? Because we have our own size that very different from the models. That’s also goes with marriage in Islam.
Unfortunately, some of us not realize that fact when we choose our wife or husband. A lot of us busy to match every body with our imagination. This imagination we got from the movie, advertisement, magazine, internet and every thing else. These movie, magazine, etc, are the same with run way. Brad pitt may be look nice with Angelina jolie but women in real life should choose her own size brad pitt. Carmen electra may be look great, but I have to choose my own Carmen electra with my own size to be my wife. The marriage partner size is covering all of thing from physical to way of thought.
By that we can hope that our own Carmen Electra can give us our own sense of comfort. These felling is needed to fill our wonderful marriage. This is what Islam trying to make on every marriage.
And the last thing is our wife or husband is still not us. Our clothes are still not our skin. They may be give us sense of comfort, but we still have our own identity. Marriage is not made to destroy our own identity, but it was made to make our identity stronger.
So what Marriage in Islam has taught us is that Brad pitt and Angelina Jolie isn’t for every body!

you made some good points over here!! even if I’m not really religious and have nothing to do with islam, you managed to make me curious about it
clothing reveal more about a person than we’d actually want to show
