🧭 Preparation & choosing a spouse · #102
My fiancé has left all the wedding preparations to me. How do I ask him to share?
Ask him to take on specific, clear responsibilities, not just ‘helping out’ when asked. Many men stay quiet not because they do not care, but because they do not know where to start. List all the tasks, then ask him to choose a few areas, such as the marriage documents, the officiant (jurunikah), transport or the budget. Say: ‘I want us to plan together; this is practice for our home later.’ Set a time to review together every week. If he still washes his hands of it, take note; it may be a sign of how he will share the burdens of the household. See dividing housework.
