1. Why These Two Fields Decide Your Response Rate
On any matrimony platform, age, education and district are filters — but "About Myself" and "About Family" are where a stranger decides whether to contact you. Most profiles waste them: either two dry lines ("I am simple. My family is good.") or a wall of adjectives no one believes.
The profiles that get responses do something simple: they give specific, verifiable, warm facts in plain language. This guide gives you the formula plus examples you can adapt — not copy blindly, because the other family will eventually meet the real you.
2. "About Myself" — a Simple 4-Part Formula
- Who you are in one line — occupation/study + where, stated plainly.
- Your nature — two or three honest traits, shown not claimed ("I enjoy quiet evenings with family" beats "I am very good-natured").
- Your values — deen, family, work-life priorities; whatever genuinely guides you.
- What you seek — one or two lines, respectful and realistic.
Total: 60–120 words. Longer is rarely read; shorter looks careless.
3. "About Myself" Examples
Brother — private-sector professional
"I work as a senior officer at a private bank in Dhaka and completed my BBA from Jagannath University. I come from a close family and spend most evenings at home. I pray regularly and try to keep my life simple and disciplined. I'm looking for a practising, family-minded partner who values honesty above everything."
Brother — deen-focused
"Alhamdulillah, I maintain my five daily prayers and have kept a beard for several years. I work in my family's electronics business in Chattogram, which allows me time for the masjid and study circles. I want a marriage where we help each other grow in deen — I am looking for a sister who prays regularly and prefers a modest lifestyle, and her family's deen matters to me as much as her own."
Brother — govt. service
"I am a government primary school teacher, posted in my home upazila in Rangpur. The job is steady and lets me stay close to my parents, whom I look after as the eldest son. I like reading and gardening. I'm seeking a kind, adjustable partner who would be happy in a respectful joint-family home."
Sister — professional
"I completed my MBBS and am doing my internship at a hospital in Dhaka. My profession matters to me, and I hope to continue working after marriage with my family's support. I was raised to value both deen and education. I'm looking for someone educated and open-minded, who respects a working wife and prays regularly."
Sister — student
"I am a final-year Honours student (English) at National University, from a respected family in Cumilla. I wear hijab, love cooking with my mother, and tutor school children part-time. My family and I are looking for a practising, established man — character and responsibility matter more to us than wealth."
Divorced / remarriage
"I was married before; the marriage ended formally and respectfully, and I have no children. I work as an accountant in a private company in Sylhet. I believe in starting again with honesty, which is why I mention this openly. I'm looking for someone mature who values understanding and companionship — divorced or widowed sisters' proposals are equally welcome."
4. "About Family" — What Readers Actually Look For
Families read this field to answer four quiet questions: What kind of household is this? What do the parents do? How many children, and where are they settled? Will our child be respected there? Answer exactly those:
- Parents — occupation (or "retired from…", "homemaker") and one humanising touch;
- Siblings — count, married/settled where, in one line;
- The household's character — religious atmosphere, joint or nuclear, home district;
- Optional: what the family hopes for in the match.
5. "About Family" Examples
Middle-class nuclear family
"We are a small family of four. My father retired from a government office and my mother is a homemaker. My younger sister is studying at university. We live in our own flat in Mirpur, Dhaka, and our roots are in Faridpur. Ours is a simple, religious-minded household."
Joint family
"Ours is a joint family — my grandparents, parents, and my uncle's family live together in our family home in Bogura. My father runs our agricultural business with my uncle. We eat together, pray together, and celebrate together; we are looking for someone who would enjoy a full, lively household."
Family with established siblings
"My father is a retired college professor and my mother a homemaker. My elder brother is a doctor, settled in Chattogram with his family, and my elder sister is married in Dhaka. I am the youngest. Our family values education deeply — it is the one thing my parents never compromised on."
Modest wording for a well-off family
"My father is a businessman (garments trading) and my mother manages our home. Allah has given us sufficiency, for which we are grateful — but our family's real emphasis has always been on manners and deen. We are looking for a family that values the same."
Single-parent household
"My father passed away when I was in college; my mother raised my brother and me with extraordinary strength, and she is the heart of our home. My brother works abroad and supports us all. Anyone who joins our family will find that we hold together closely."
6. বাংলায় লেখার নমুনা (Bangla Examples)
নিজের সম্পর্কে
"আমি একটি বেসরকারি প্রতিষ্ঠানে সিনিয়র অফিসার হিসেবে কর্মরত। পরিবারকে সময় দিতে ভালোবাসি, নিয়মিত নামাজ পড়ার চেষ্টা করি। সৎ, পরিবার-অন্তপ্রাণ একজন জীবনসঙ্গী খুঁজছি — যার কাছে দ্বীন ও পারিবারিক মূল্যবোধ সবার আগে।"
পরিবার সম্পর্কে
"আমাদের ছোট পরিবার — বাবা অবসরপ্রাপ্ত সরকারি কর্মকর্তা, মা গৃহিণী। ছোট বোন বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে পড়ছে। ঢাকায় নিজেদের ফ্ল্যাটে থাকি, দেশের বাড়ি ফরিদপুর। আমরা সাধারণ, ধর্মভীরু পরিবার।"
7. What NOT to Write
- ❌ Empty adjectives: "smart, simple, good-looking" — show it through facts instead;
- ❌ Salary figures or property lists — that conversation belongs to the families, later;
- ❌ Complaints about past proposals, ex-spouses or "time-wasters";
- ❌ Demands framed as lists ("must be fair, slim, tall…") — state values, not measurements;
- ❌ Anything untrue — every line will eventually be checked against reality at dekha-dekhi;
- ❌ Phone numbers or addresses inside the text — use the platform's contact system for safety.
8. How to Adapt These Examples Honestly
Take the structure, not the sentences. For each example you like, replace every fact with your own: your institution, your district, your actual routine. Read it aloud once — if a sentence would embarrass you in front of the other family at first meeting, rewrite it now. A profile that sounds like you is the one that finds the family that fits you.
9. Frequently Asked Questions
What should I write in "About Myself" in a matrimony profile?
Use a four-part formula in 60–120 words: who you are in one line (occupation or study), your nature shown through specifics rather than adjectives, the values that genuinely guide you, and one or two respectful lines about what you seek.
What should I write in "About Family" in a matrimony profile?
Answer what families actually check: parents' occupations, siblings in one line (how many, married or settled where), the household's character (religious atmosphere, joint or nuclear, home district), and optionally what the family hopes for in the match.
How long should the About Myself section be?
Between 60 and 120 words. Longer texts rarely get read fully; two dry lines look careless. Specific and warm beats long and vague.
Should I mention salary or property in my profile?
No — state your occupation plainly and leave financial details to the family-to-family stage. Salary figures and property lists in a profile read as either boasting or bargaining, and both cost responses.
Can I copy these example texts directly?
Adapt the structure, not the sentences. Replace every fact with your own truth — the other family will meet the real you at dekha-dekhi, and any gap between profile and reality costs the proposal.
