Is This a Way to Get Married?!
Question
My college classmate loves me, and I love him. He has promised me that he will propose to me when he graduates. What should I do?
Answer
Be very careful, my daughter. When your classmate finishes his studies at college, he will be required to serve in the military and will spend a period there. After that, he will seek employment, and we are living in a time when very many people suffer from unemployment. If he finds a job, he will need to spend some time establishing his financial standing, obtaining an apartment, and paying for the engagement jewelry set.
All of this may take several years. Will you wait for him all those years? Will your love remain the same and not change? And if marriage opportunities are presented to you during that period, and a suitor with acceptable qualities proposes to you, will you reject that suitor in the hope of marrying that classmate whom you cannot guarantee, nor can you guarantee his circumstances?! And will your parents and family agree to such a wait?!
Marriage to fellow students is a matter fraught with risk. And we should not forget the factor of age, particularly the difference in age between the husband and wife.
