Stars on your Fingers Why does it matter? Muslim and Jewish couples have some of the most sacred and faithful marriages out of many religions. They hold a higher standard and traditional love techniques. The intricate scriptures allow love to be open and enjoyable. The followers believe if you believe in God you will have ever lasting Love and marriage. If a person wants to know how to have internal and external love for yourself and others. Read this.



"And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in peace and tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): Verily in that are signs for those who reflect" (Quran 30:21).

The Torah Song of Solomon 2:6 "Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame." The quotes are very profound.The two quotes discuss the importance of how sacred marriage is and the tradition that needs to be held. If a person looks at Christianity it would seem although the scriptures are very similar. But why is it that a lot of Christian based marriages never last? In the quotes they both have something similar which is "you may dwell in peace and tranquility with them" and "love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave." These quotes as stating that love and marriage is such a strong commitment, it may be the death of a person, so a person considering marriage should do it for the right reason. The idea of love in Islam and Judaism is extremely deep and nothing to just get a divorce from; You make a commitment to god. A very spiritual person wouldn't divorce or break that bond because God only places one heart on this earth to match another persons.



A Hindu article from a website stated "Love marriages are on the increase, but there is still a lot of skepticism about them. Love marriages within the same caste and financial background are favored, compared to inter-caste and inter-religious marriages. Couples who dare cross the social conventions have to cope with a lot of social pressure within their families and outside. "

In this article it said "Love marriages are on the increase," In a lot of religions such as Islam and Judaism marriage should only be based off of love and not financial or what your parent's choose. This issue can cause divorces and a repeated pattern of unholy commitments. In the majority of religions love stories are told in it's scriptures and has a passage to welcome the newlyweds. In Hinduism the marriages are based of things that are the wrong reasons such as your parents aprove of the person but you might not. The person who is ment to be your life partner must be rich. The article also stated couples who break out of the tradition will have a lot of social pressures and disaprovement. A marriage normally is considered sacred if you recieves your family and friends blessings. But if you choose not to follow these unwritten laws you basically are disowned and criticized. Also in this religion you are allowed to marry you deceased husbands brother in order to "keep it in the family." The customs people think of when they think of marriage is totally different in most religions. The people who follow this religion sometimes want to break away from this tradition but the social peer pressure makes it deceiving and difficult, everyone always want to be accepted.

"O Humans revere your Guardian Lord, Who created you from a single person created of like nature its mate, and from this scattered (like seeds) countless men and women. Reverence Allah through Whom you claim your mutual rights" (Quran 4:1). This is one of the love scriptures from the Quran. It means that everyone has a person out there waiting for them. God had a purpose for everyone to be happy and have a soul mate.
