Answer
In this counseling answer, Sr. Hannah Morris explains what are the benefits of treating marriage proposals with open disclosure about your health condition.
Hiding things from our future spouse is not fortunate, and won’t be a solution in the long run. It increases the feelings of guilt in you, while on your spouse’s side the feelings of deception and betrayal.
As skin diseases are mostly visible, your future spouse probably will be aware of your condition from the very beginning. So choosing you, despite your illness means that he fully accepts you and is willing to love you for who you are, and this is a very promising beginning for a marriage.
What thoughts are behind these feelings of sadness and depression? Learning to be confident and accepting of ourselves as we were created by Allah decreases negative thoughts and depressive feelings.
