An old post from a YMP Council Member Daniel... better late than never right? :)
Daniel and his wife Mariam are founding members of YMP. Last year they welcome their son, Isa.
Daniel is a photographer whose beautiful photos can be found at his website www.danielzain.com or his blog http://danielzainphotography.blogspot.com.
Assalamu'alaikum,
Alhamdulillah with the arrival of Isa into our lives, Mariam & I couldn't be more thankful to Allah (SWT) for the blessings he has given us.
An important step in the life of any adult Muslim is the day he/she gets married. Subhanallah I know some of you are already in the process of looking for a spouse, and some of you may already be a few steps closer to tying the know than I may be aware of ;)
As a wedding photographer, my job is to document that special moment when two people become husband & wife. Alas, in almost 4 years of doing this full time, several of my clients are no longer husband & wife. Several of my university friends have also gone down the road of divorce. Sometimes the reasons for divorce are complicated while some have parted ways over seemingly trivial issues. I've had the opportunity to speak to some of them during their trying moments & after their divorce. Could some of these divorces have been avoided if the couples had done something simple prior to getting married?
That simple thing is: Ask important questions before you get married!
