Marriage is undoubtedly one of the most fulfilling and exciting experiences of a lifetime. Many couples for instance will mention the process of meeting their partner, learning more about them and eventually giving their hand in marriage. Sadly, our current day social spectrum struggles with high divorce rates that seem to be against the very essence of marriage. This doesn’t have to continually be the case as the Quran and traditions have provided us with sufficient tools to pass over any hurdles in marriage. Empathy, trust, protection and communication are positive steps forward that can God-willing, change the dynamic of a marriage. We wish you every success in your search, and wish you have a successful marriage InshaAllah!
