Ep. 103: Preparing for Marriage

One of our listeners asked a follow-up question to Ep. 101 on marriage, via ask.fm: "I listened to your conviction project podcast on marriage - could you touch upon how to select your partner + the rishta process? Should we simply select someone because theyre pious even if we arent attracted to them? How should we be feeling in this stage or the process? Should there be butterflies in our stomach when we see them for the second time (with their family)? & if we dont feel those types of feelings, does that mean that person isnt for us? Theyre a good person but just not a match for us?"  In this episode, Shahrukh and I discuss these questions at length.  One of the books we discussed is "My Mariam".
