You’ll find that many people, after they get married, want to move back in with their families and take care of their aging parents.
Especially in Arab culture, family is placed so high and it is assumed that the children will be there to take care of their parents until old age.
While that may be noble and morally the right thing to do, it can take a toll on you if you decide to move in with your in-laws.
Getting engaged is a huge step. There are so many reasons why people get engaged, and oftentimes, it’s not for the best reasons.
Security, financial reasons, love, family honor, and societal pressure are among the top reasons many people decide to get engaged and commit themselves to their relationship.
