Tips for nurturing a heart inclined towards marriage, as a Muslim woman

Wa alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, I'm a sister who embraced Islam a while back, and in my past, I was in a relationship with another woman. Alhamdulillah, now I'm striving to live by Islamic teachings, and I'm seeking guidance not just to let go of those old feelings towards women, but also to genuinely cultivate an attraction towards men, with the intention of marriage in mind. Has anyone walked a similar path or have any advice to share on this journey? JazakAllah khair for your support.

Dua is your strongest weapon. Be patient with yourself. The heart takes time to heal and grow new inclinations. Allah sees your struggle.

So brave of you to share. Try to surround yourself with good sisters who have strong, happy marriages. Seeing that helped redirect my own thoughts.

Walaykumussalam. Allah doesn't burden a soul beyond what it can bear. Keep learning, keep praying. Your intention for marriage is a huge blessing.

Respect. Making sincere repentance and cutting off old connections (social media etc.) was the first step for me. It gets easier.

Your sincerity is beautiful. Focus on your love for Allah first. The rest will follow, inshaAllah. I'm in a similar place.

May Allah bless you. Remember the story of repentance in the Quran. It's a process. Focus on building your connection with Him, and He will beautify your heart for what is halal.
