there is no set standard, you go on til you find the one that makes you happy and you feel the most comfortable with. the reason there is such a high divorce rate is from finances and stress from work, also no communication is a major issue. You must be able to communicate clearly what is expected from both parties...Good Luck!

Once you take your Shahada all your previous sins are forgiven. It is good that you recognise that premarital sex is a no go area for you now. And of course I am sure you know that in Islam and if Insha Allah you do revert you know that the relationship you have now cannot continue in the same way even without the sex. Unless he becomes your lawful spouse even holding hands or being alone in the same room with him is forbidden. I am sure if you have studied Islam you are aware and know this but having said that where is your ''bf'' faith in all of this? What kind of a Muslim man is he that he has been sinning all this time and having illegal sex according to Islam? Is he a pious man? Does not sound like it ergo when you take your Shahada is he the best man to marry? Will he raise your children properly within the faith if he is not capable of doing so himself? If he does not pray and thinks nothing of having a girlfriend and sex, what really makes him a Muslim? Him saying the words ''I am a Muslim''? Because Islam is about how you live your life 24/7 not just something you give lip service too. It is submitting your life to God and I have no right to say he's a Muslim or he is not a Muslim but his actions speak volumes. That does not mean he cannot sincerely change and turn around and become a the pious man a pious woman deserves though. And if I may ask if you intent to become a Muslim and you have decided to become a Muslim and you fast in Ramadan etc, what is the hold up? What are you waiting to happen before taking you Shahada? Because you know if you died today with all the best intentions and future plans in the world, no matter that you have fasted and are learning to pray etc you would still die a non believer. None of us knows our last day, hour or second and who says today is not yours? I am just really curious as a revert myself, why you are waiting to take it if you have already decided you are going to take it? ''I am reverting for ALLAH (SWT) And NOT for my boyfriend. If we broke up tomorrow, i would still revert to Islam Inshallah'' I just hope Insha Allah you do not waste too much time because sincerely you do not know how much time you have, none of us do. Peace to you She said... PS Some users do not half talk rubbish. User with no name ''You should be lashed hundred times first according to Quran...'' Are you a Muslim? Where you a Muslim when having sex with this guy? No and No so the rules do not apply to you, they are rules for Muslims. When you take your Shahada even having had sex previously is forgiven, your slate is clean you are a fresh page with no sins upon you. You would NOT be punished for previous sins. Only the sins you make from that point on count and you have already stated you have no further intentions to have sex with him so where is the sin?

As many friendships as you like, preferably spending time with them in groups of odd numbers of people. This will give you time to see what you want to have in a potential spouse and marriage relationship.
Then pick one who fits your criteria, talk about marriage together, and if you come to an agreement, get married: leave father and mother, be united to your spouse, and become one flesh(*). In that order.
In other words, as many platonic friends as you like, zero sexual relationships before marriage.
