    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.

      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
      @summerwulsebo6147 5 лет назад +5

      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.

    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.

    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.
