Just pray to be married to someone that respects you, your feelings, your dislikes, your insecurities and discomfort, and your goals.

It’s one thing to love someone the way you want to love them and another to love someone the way they need to be loved.

‎Abdullāh Ibn al-Mubārak, رحمه الله, said:

‎"I love the pious people even though I'm not one of them, and I hate the evil people even though I may be worse than them."

‎(Siyār A'lam An-Nubalā Volume, #8]

Exactly

اللهُمَّ إنا نسألُك الهدوء وسط اشتعال الشّعور ، والفتح عند انسداد السُّبل ، والطُّمأنينة حين ارتجاف القلوب ، والتّرتيب وسط بعثرة الشّتات ، وارزقنا بصيرة من يرى بهُداك ، ويسير برحمتك ، وثبات من لا تغلبه شدّة ، ولا يكسره ابتلاء

Ya Allah, we ask You for calmness amidst the turmoil of emotions, for clarity when paths are blocked, for peace when hearts tremble, for order in the midst of chaos, and grant us insight to see with Your guidance and to walk in Your mercy. Bestow upon us steadfastness that is not overcome by adversity nor broken by trials."

“وَمَا لِيَ لَا أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ And what reason have I that I should not serve Him Who brought me into existence? And to Him you shall be brought back;”

— Surah Yaseen, Ayat 22 (via ibtasem)

Let me be patient, let me be kind. Make me unselfish, without being blind.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but your progress is not ruined after 1 bad day, 2 bad days, maybe even a month or more of bad days. Everything you experienced and learned during that time is valuable and essential for your growth. Forgive yourself, and try again. 

Oh Allah, don’t let me ever turn away from You, no matter how many trials and difficulties You test me with. Let these difficulties serve to make me a stronger Muslim and more sincere to You.
