madrasah + marriage?

hahaa.. apparently was discussing on the topic of marriage today at madrasah.

we were discussing on the different types of couples and their ethnicity etc.

different races marrying each other.. and the characteristics of a family.

then we had a little discussion called : what will you do for your family when you get married later?

everyone had turns to speak on what they would do for their future family.

answers :

i will work hard so that i can keep the food on the table for my wife and kids.
i will take good care of my kids and expose them to the teachings of islam so that they may be a better muslim and serve Allah.
i will do my best to provide them love and show them that i support them all the way.
i will be a good mother and take care of my children and husband.
i will be a good role model to my wife and kids.
i will die for them.


when it was my turn, i smiled and said : ustazah, i believe that i will protect them from harm. however, i will not die for them. its bcoz, they mean everything to me and why would i die for them? i wanna live because of them. the answers that the others have given are also what i intend to do for my future family because i will love them. i will teach them islamic values so that they may come closer to paradise.


then suddenly there was an awkward silence.
then, uztazah said : alhamdulillah, firdaus, your family will be closer to paradise insyallah.very good answer.
