بسم الله الرحمان الرجيم

Maybe you have noticed something. The strong love you felt at the beginning of your marriage may feel smaller now. This happens to many people. But it does not mean your marriage is broken. Let’s understand why.

Marriage is a Sacred Trust (Amaanah). Yes. In Islam, marriage is not a business deal. It is an Amaanah—a holy trust from Allah. Allah offered this trust to the heavens, earth, and mountains, but they were afraid to carry it. Only human beings accepted it. 📚Surah - Ahzaab (chapter 33) verse 72

This means marriage is a serious promise to Allah (swt). A Promise You Will Be Asked About

My People,

Before marriage, you promised each other many things. After marriage, sometimes we forget these promises. But Allah (swt) reminds us: "fulfill your promises, because you will be asked about them on the Day of Judgement". 📚al-Isra’ 17:34

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“There is no faith for the one who has no trust, and there is no religion for the one that does not fulfil his promises.” 📚 (Musnad Ahmad).

Now,

If we ignore our promises, we hurt our faith and our marriage.

Why the “In Love” Feeling Changes
In the beginning, your brain gives you a “rush” of good feelings—like excitement and happiness. This is often called “romantic love.” But after marriage, that rush naturally becomes less strong. This is normal. It is biology😃.

When the rush slows, you might start to see your partner’s faults. You might feel less “in love.” Some people even look for that rush outside their marriage. But this is a test.

Real Love Begins After the Rush. Yes. True love is not just the exciting feeling at the start. Real love is what remains after that rush is over. It is choosing to be happy with the person you married, even when you see their imperfections. It is patience, kindness, and keeping your trust.

You Are Like a Chemical Bond. Yes. Think of your marriage like chemistry. Two separate elements—like Hydrogen and Oxygen—join to form something completely new: Water.

In marriage, two people join and become one life. You create something new together—a home, a family, a shared history. This bond is stronger than just a feeling. It is a lasting union.

Remember This:

Your marriage is an act of worship. It is a trust. The early rush of love is a gift to bring you together. But the love that follows—the calm, patient, everyday love—is the real blessing. Protect your Amanah. Fulfill your promise. Choose each other again every day, for the sake of Allah (swt).

May Allah protect your marriage, fill your home with patience and true love, and make your union a means of entering Jannah. Ameen.
