Is it okay to want to be a homemaker in today's world?

Assalamu alaikum, I really don’t feel like working a job or going out into the workforce. I love being at home and I’ve been trying to learn cooking so I can be a better homemaker, inshaAllah. But people keep pushing me to get a job and be independent, saying I need to be street smart and deal with people. I just don’t like professional settings, going out, and having to interact with men in that way-it feels uncomfortable. Plus, I dream of a nice religious husband who’s my best friend, you know? Like those sweet moments you see in films, I want all of that with him, but in a halal way. I’m well-educated, just graduated recently, so I don’t want my husband to look down on me. I just want to be respected, loved, and take care of a lovely home and family. Is that possible nowadays?

Your education is your crown, never let anyone make you feel small for it. A wise husband will value that you chose this path, not were forced onto it. Build that peaceful home, sis, it's a beautiful jihad.

So many girls feel this but are scared to say it, I swear. I work and it drains my soul, I just want to be in my kitchen making sambusas. You're not wrong for wanting what Allah made natural for us.

Ignore the noise from people pushing 'boss babe' culture. You can be perfectly street smart from your living room, trust me. Your dream is completely valid and, honestly, the backbone of the ummah.
