Marriage as a Sign from Allah

[Precious Star]

3] Marriage as a Sign of Allah, and a Means to Him
In a series of verses within Surat al-Rum, Allah tells us about His signs in creation– here, specifically about spouses.
Marriage is a sign of Allah, as it (1) reminds of the marvel of creation; (2) reminds of the marvel of destiny and how Allah brings a man and woman together; (3) reminds of the gift of serenity (sukun) Allah has placed in marriage; and (4) reminds of the potential of love and mercy Allah grants the couple. There are numerous signs of Allah in marriage:
“Another of His signs is that He created spouses from among yourselves for you to live with in tranquillity: He ordained love and kindness between you. There truly are signs in this for those who reflect.” [Qur'an, 30.21]

Marriage is also a “sign of Allah,” in that it is a means of turning to Allah and seeking His closeness. How? Through upholding and expressing the “love and mercy” that is the glue of relations, even when tested. The manifestation of this is good character in conduct and response–seeking Allah thereby. The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, ”The believers most perfect in faith are those best in character. And the best of you are those best to their spouses.” [Tirmidhi]

Nice article.

I do understand the importance of marriage now but we shouldn't make it our primary goal of life, especially women.
If Allah blesses someone with a spouse then that's great but if some people cannot get married due to some problems then they should know that Allah s.w.t is enough for them.
