Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Long Engagements Are Dangerous

			if you will, once you do get
engaged, a lot of people think
		

			that once we've committed to one
another, it's like engagement is
		

			like a commitment. Some people
make such a big deal out of the
		

			engagement, that it makes it like
a wedding in terms of the feeding
		

			the guests and the gifts and
everything like that. And that's
		

			totally not what it should be. The
best thing is to make the
		

			engagement as short as possible,
so that you get fixed up and then
		

			you're gonna get married soon.
Long engagements are dangerous,
		

			because you feel you're connected
to somebody now, but you're not
		

			really connected. So you can still
not act like husband and wife, you
		

			still have to act like strangers.
Right, but then some people take
		

			offense
