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.

ArabLounge is a great place to meet like-minded people who are looking for love, and according to their profiles, you can find out if they’re on the same page as you. There are a lot of people looking for “the one;” someone to spend the rest of their lives with.

Dear ArabLounge,
Hana and I met on your site 1 year ago, and we are pleased to announce that we will be getting married in June ‘09. This would not have been possible without you guys, especially since she’s from Miami and I am from Toronto.
Thanks again,
