WHY WE EAT LIKE THIS

A lot of people have asked why do we as Muslim and Arabs sit on the floor when we eat, well for us personally there are two reasons, one is based a lot on our religion and culture, the second is how eating together on the floor, from the same plate, has shaped our relationship.

I think the biggest mistake I made when I got married is assuming that life was now about having two of everything. Having two cars to get around the city, ordering two plates whenever we went out to eat, or buying two of everything to make sure both of us were happy.

At a Majlis one day I heard a beautiful story of an elderly Arab couple who were so in love that they could only eat when they were together and from the same plate. Since hearing that story my wife and I always eat from the same plate and only order one drink to share. What this taught us is the value of sharing in a relationship and how sharing brings two people closer together, here is the story.
