Default Would You Consider Marrying Someone Who Doesnt Speak English or Not Very Well?

So would you marry someone who speaks very little English or broken English?

No, 'cause then how would I talk to them?
I can speak Punjabi and Urdu and I'd say I'm fluent in those languages, but I think in English and it's hard for me to communicate some ideas sometimes in those languages.

Well, I suppose we could communicate through grunts and hand gestures... But probably not....

Hasn't this thread been done before somewhere?...

My answer is, I'd like them to be able to converse in the same languages that I use. So to be more specific, no.

As-Salaamu 'Alaykum,

I think it'll be better if we speak different languages.

Less arguments. Besides that, I think we can pick up each others languages eventually allowing us to understand one another so thats always good but that would mean we cant have kids right away, unless we use sign language. Wow, that would be a cool union.

Ermm, now Im actually interested in marrying someone who doesnt speak my language.

Was-Salaamu 'Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaah

I imagine it would be quite challenging. Aside from the universal language of "love" there are tons of non-love related communications you need to make in a relationship. It's not impossible, but it certainly would make things more difficult.

Asallamu 'alaikum wa rahmatulLahi wa barakatuh

None issue. I would marry him if he spoke even broken Arabic. So long as he can speak something I could understand, I would.

My father married a Morrocon, for instance. So she spoke Maghribi Arabic and had to learn to talk like us. Also, she is still learning English.
So far, no problems at all. ^^
