A Considered
Invitation.

This is not a performance.
This is a criteria, honestly stated.

"A high-value individual
has the right to a high taste." โ€” Marriage Counsellor's Report, 2026

What follows is not a wishlist. It is a declaration of what I believe a marriage must be built upon. Read it slowly. Every word is deliberate.

01 Deen & Character

Faith is the
foundation.

She observes her five daily prayers. She fulfills her obligations to Allah. She has a genuine desire to keep learning โ€” not blind following, but understanding why.

Aqidah and practice are nuanced. I respect that. What matters is seeking knowledge until it makes sense, not simply inheriting it.

And above all, respect in conduct. I do not condone disrespect in any form โ€” toward parents, guardians, or each other. True character is revealed in how we speak and handle differences.

Non-negotiable

Chastity.

Completely. This is the line.

Non-negotiable

Mutual Respect.

I do not condone disrespect in any form.

02 Finances & Career

Work or home.
Balance is the point.

Whether she works or stays at home โ€” this is entirely her call. I have no preference on the surface of it. What I care about is balance.

Whatever she does, she carries her duties as a wife and mother without things falling through the cracks. That is the measure.

Balance above all

Career-agnostic

Duty is non-optional

03 Beauty & Intellect

The higher the values,
the more beautiful.

Beauty is entirely subjective to me โ€” her values, her conduct, her light determine what I see. But I am a sapiosexual by nature. Intelligence draws me in ways I cannot override.

And more than raw intelligence โ€” a growth mindset. Smart and closed is less than ordinary and eager. Someone who grows will always become better. That compounds.

04 Background, Family & Health

Where you come from
matters.

A few things carry real weight here. Not as rigid gates but as honest truths about what I have found myself drawn to.

โ—‘
Marriage structure

Monogamy and polygamy are both valid โ€” I hold neither above the other.

โ—‰
Her parents are still together

Strict requirement. This one is firm.

โ—‹
Yoruba background

Preferred, not binding. Language compatibility is a bonus, not a dealbreaker.

โ—‰
Health transparency

Full transparency is required. Sickle cell marriage is a hard no.

โ—‘
How she treats family

I pay close attention to how she treats her family and guardian. It says everything.

So.
Will you marry me?

This is the map. If you see yourself in it โ€” not in full performance, but in sincere alignment โ€” then the next step is a conversation.

These expectations are high because they are practical. A partnership built on less than this would cost us both more than it gives.
