Description
For Muslims in North America, marriage can be a complex and challenging process. This comprehensive guide offers a unique approach to marriage, drawing on the authors' 40 years of combined experience in counseling couples. Salma Elkadi Abugideiri, a licensed mental health professional, and Mohamed Hag Magid, a prominent imam, provide an Islamic framework for the entire marriage process, focusing on the ingredients for a successful partnership and the importance of mutual love and mercy. The book addresses essential topics such as finding a spouse, the role of family and in-laws, the marriage contract and wedding, intimacy, spirituality, and finances. It also tackles special issues like mental health, domestic violence, and threats to a marriage, providing a practical tool kit with concrete skills to ensure a healthy relationship. This guide is invaluable for anyone seeking marriage, including those getting re-married after a divorce or death of a spouse.
