4 IN 1

Ingin menjadi pemburu, jadilah pemburu bijak dan ilmu. Tamak untuk  mempunyai 4 ciri yang dikatakan RSAW  atau 4 in 1 sebagai calon berpotensi untuk menjadi teman seumur hidup. Rahsia Allah bab JODOH. Hidayah Allah akan memberi isyarat pada hati, kalau dah jodoh tak kemana. Manusia hanya boleh usaha dan doa untuk mendapat yang terbaik.

Sebab itu, perempuan kene cantik cantik. Kecantikan adalah mukadimah. Permulaan. Selepas itu, barulah komukasi, mengenali personaliti dan kefahaman agamanya. Kalau dah berjaya sehingga berkahwin, jadilah wanita solehah, perbetulkan niat berkahwin, elak mengungkit dan janganlah mudah emosi.

Orang bujang boleh berkata dari segi teori dan ilmu je. Realitnya, hanya jauhari mengenal manikam..huhu
