Healing Muslim Marriages

Allah SWT never mentions love between spouses in the Holy Qur’an; He mentions kindness and mercy.

Love is an offshoot of this felt and shared kindness and mercy.

We as Muslims in the West will naturally be impacted by the Western philosophy of love — and it being an entity for a marriage to be successful and solid.

We may see our counterparts marry for this reason alone, and expect this to sustain them throughout the marriage, resisting or not even contemplating the natural changes which occur in a person’s life.

We may have developed a notion: if you don’t love someone, they are not worthy of your kindness or mercy.

Whereas our beautiful religion time and time again reminds us everyone is to receive kindness and mercy — and love is an offshoot of this.

And who deserves your kindness and mercy in its most genuine state? Your spouse.

I have, and am currently, working with Muslim married couples facing crises in their marriages, which have created or resulted in a variety of communication patterns — where the couple has felt they are no longer, or in some cases were never, aligned.

Couples have come to themuslimcounsellor.com to speak about the patterns created in their marriage after experiencing issues such as the impact of past trauma, infidelity, in-laws, financial problems, intimate problems, parenting issues, and an imbalance in respect felt between both — to label a few.

My work is to educate and empower the couple relationship to understand the communication, interpretations, resentments, and hurdles that have been created in and outside the marriage — to then create a space for collaboration for each individual on themes and morals they are feeling most affected by, so their individual needs and expectations are met in their Muslim marriage.
