This is a excellent questionnaire for all Muslim couples
looking to find out more about one another before taking the big leap. It
covers pretty much all the bases: children, finances, hobbies, health, goals,
past relationships, and religious beliefs.
My husband and I filled it out part jokingly when we first met 6 years ago, but it was a nice exercise to see the other person’s reaction to questions. Even if he jokes about most of the awkward questions, it is interesting to see what he has to say and how he says it; like if he takes things lightheartedly or if he’s dead serious about topics.
We were both pleased to find that our views on a lot of major important issues aligned pretty well. And the funny thing is, the few things he mentioned on here that I didn't like about him, 6 years later I still don’t! (Honey, if you are reading this then you know I love you not in spite of those things, but because of it all!!!)
Who knew this questionnaire would actually share so much about our personalities, I never would have guessed! Although plenty of these answers you can gauge from conversation (or Facebook stalking), there are still things which don’t always come up so it’s nice to get them out in the open. I mean, how are you casually supposed to ask a guy if he’s into polygamy or if he’s down with getting checked to see that he hasn't spent his college days spreading around STDs.

Of course this isn't something you would send out to
every guy you meet without seeming a bit ‘hypercritical’, but it’s a helpful
tool to gain insight on someone you’re seriously considering as a prospect for
marriage. Try nonchalantly mentioning it to someone you’ve been talking to for a few weeks/months, and get
an idea from the conversation it sparks. Who knows maybe like us 6 years later, you'll be
laughing about the things you wrote down, it makes for a great item to add to your wedding keepsake that's for sure!
I know this has many religious questions that apply
to Muslims only, but contact me if you’re interested and I’ll send you the Word
file so you can add/revise questions to suit you!
A useful prelude would be ‘I saw the most
interesting thing on Pinterest today……’
(my husband can tell you that’s pretty much how I
start all conversations he loves
hearing. Right, babe?!)
