I am a mere novice, so my opinion is not with any authority, however, I disagree that as Sikhs we should just sit and accept the will of God. My understanding is that Hukam, the order of God and I mean that as in the order of things, rather than a direct command, requires us to try our hardest to better ourselves, as people, as human beings, as sons, as mothers, as wives, etc. I also believe that if we live life by giving our best, then the best possible outcome will be given to us. So I wish to buy a small farm one day and grow crops and raise animals, and I work hard towards that, if my hard work is rewarded with this wish, then great, if not, then that is ok too, I gave it my best but it was not to be, but the answer, for me anyway, is not to sit around and wait for Guru's kirpa to kick in, I have to work for it, my hardest, I have to earn it.

I sympathise with your situation, but you have to make your husband understand you are an individual with needs and goals, to better yourself is an absolute must for all of us, maybe there is some charity work you could do, a marriage is a compromise, if his beliefs are old school maybe you could between you work out some way that allows you to further your education an/or work that also keeps him happy too?

But as Sikhs, we should never give up and allow situations to wash over us, we should always have fight in us, always have the stomach for a challenge,
my opinion only
