| I am in my first marriage and in the 5th year of it. Things have gone dead and all dried up, all we do is make life miserable for us and her children who is 13, and 14. She has done just about everything within he last 2 marriages and doesn't want to try them with me. I don't have kids and want some but she cant and interferes too much between me and her kids who I have a nice relationship with. Sometimes she tells me to go and look for a different wife and move on but all my $$ is invested in this relationship and cant afford to restart. ARE THERE SISTERS WHO WOULD ACCEPT ME WHEN I NOW LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. I think that the way that we were brought up from 2 different ways have clashed rather than add taste. |

I wish I could help but somehow I can't understand your problem clearly. Maybe if you explain more someone might give an advice. -------------  And whoever seeks a religion other than Isl�m, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers(3:85)

Assalaamoalaikum Harun.
I agree.
I hope that you will continue to work things out with your wife.
Are you asking, if you get a divorce, then would there be another muslim sister who will be willing to marry you after having the knowledge that you are living from pay check to pay check?
Hmmm. if this is your question, then yes, there are plenty of sisters who will marry a GOOD MUSLIM brother who is struggling financially.
I hope that you have now found more peace in your marriage.

| I was actually being serious. You're saying it's a guy with a high salary they want? |

| Well in some Muslim cultures the cost of the wedding alone makes marriage somewhat prohibitive. Other places if he has a paycheck-to-paycheck salary, but is making a living wage relative to her expectations then there shouldn't be a problem. I left what Muslim women are attracted to blank because it undoubtedly differs greatly. |

And that I find absurd. I read that the mahr in those cultures can be unreasonably high also, so that it's not uncommon to start saving up money as early as in your teens, and that some men work (abroad) for years just to save up more money, so that they can afford get married, basically.
And let's be thankful that it is so. I don't want to seem stingy, and of course one would want one's wedding to be nice and everything, but the cost if it all should be kept within the bounds of reality. At least in my case it'd have to.

| Yeah, sadly, high mahr and wedding costs, are likely a reason for much fitnah in society. Wallahu Mustaan. |
