The most important thing in Marriage is "Maturity" and "Unconditional Love" My wife and I are going to celebrate our 10th anniversary on 31 January! Big Day!

[@DrAminaYonis]

Aw that's a huge achievement! Congrats :)

[@nafisahussein9267]

YESSS To having him on more. It definitely doesn't have to be "husband tag". I would love to hear about his input on academia, more book selections, advice for young black gentlemen. Even as a married couple I VERY MUCH ENJOYED to listen the your modern dynamic as a couple.Being Somali, the african dynamic in the house can be very traditional.

[@DrAminaYonis]

Yesss, I didn't grow up in a traditional household so that men/women divide isn't normal to me!

[@shakirfarah3449]

Mashaalah, in Islam as long as the couple are practising in their religion, that is the most important thing.Ethnicity, race and Geographical area, shouldn't be a factor.I am a marriage counselor and I could see that you are a good match.may Allah bless your marriage amin

[@DrAminaYonis]

Aww this is so nice to hear! Thank you

[@summerwulsebo6147]

Ethiopia and Eritrea become two countries only 27 years ago.Same food same culture.

[@DrAminaYonis]

SW SHW yes, you’re right :)

[@sham2659]

Actually, Eritrea and Ethiopia were only one country for approximately 39 years between 1952 and 1991 (read more about the Federation of Ethiopia and Eritrea). Prior to 1952, Eritrea was its own country, under the colonisation of the Italians. Saying that Eritreans and Ethiopians have the same food and the same culture is not entirely correct as there are 60+ different ethnic groups in both the countries combined. Many of these cultures have different customs, languages, foods and traditions. The reason (I’m guessing) why Amina said that she only ate injera for the first time last year is that injera is not part of her ethnic cuisine, but that doesn’t make her any less Ethiopian. The reason why I am writing this is that we should be proud of our differences and appreciate all of the cultures and ethnicities that are part of these beautiful countries, and not generalise the customs of the most widely recognised ethnic group over both countries.

[@summerwulsebo6147]

I just wanted to say there is no big cultural difference between the two countries .i am Ethiopian i know different tribes have their Owen language and food.my owen tribe don't eat injera either. Boarders are man made.As an Ethiopian Muslim who lives in west i dont see a big cultural difference not only with Eritrea but also sudan somalia and Djubuti.Same people with little variety here and there.

[@salihibrahim562]

@Samira. All East African are related to the extent - to think the Eritrean and Ethiopian are the same people is WRONG. I am an Eritrean from Massawa and I feel , I’m closer to Afar and Somali.

[@semung2513]

@@salihibrahim562 Don't you know both Afar and Somalis lives in Ethiopia

[@aishah4053]

yes more videos with both of you. i hope that next year i will be on my dream school, visit at least 3 countries and be happy inshallah

[@yasminm.1801]

OMG, sis you’re literally like me in a Nut-shell. I’m also Ethiopian, ( but from Addis Ababa x ), I want to peruse a science based degree and also don’t want a big wedding ( even tho us habeshas love big wedding 😂 ). Ooo & yes do more videos together. ✨

Safi Abdi omg , not like THAT, 😂

[@faizaxx1767]

Cutest video ❤️❤️ manshallah

[@shahid8545]

Small weddings are blessed in Islam. Its encouraged to have it very small without a lot of expense due to many factors. Sometimes the couple can become resentful of demands or having a tiring, exhausting wedding prep which can lead to so many issues later. Keep it small and simple, save the money, go on a trip instead, save it for a house/downpayment. May Allah(swt) keep you both strong with lots of mercy and Barakah between you.

[@maryamal-amoody9216]

[@DrAminaYonis]

He is :)

[@joblessed1857]

I don't believe in spending so much on a big wedding.. Because the wedding is for a day, the marriage is for a lifetime.. The only part I disagreed with was the part when you said it was better to marry young.. Its each to their own, but I do not believe that marriage works out better when you're younger or older.. Marriage is a state of mind, and if you don't have that commitment mindset it will not make a difference however old you are.
