In light of a profusion of divorces across all faiths & across all cultures, many parents, and elders of the Muslim society today, believe that the premarital counseling is an absolute essential for young candidates for building a strong foundation of a successful and harmonious marriage.

Here are some benefits & important aspects that all would-be couples could learn during the premarital counseling:

Islamic Guidance: to understand the Islamic perspective on marriage and roles and responsibilities of future spouses towards each other.

Communication: to develop healthy communication skills and to understand each other’s Islamic practices and expectations.

Financial Management: to discuss financial goals, to learn about each other’s spending and saving habits, and to learn to create a unified financial plan.

Family Expectations: to learn about expectations of each participant’s future in-laws and also their extended family members

Parenting & Family Planning: to discuss preferred parenting styles and roles & responsibilities of each partner.

Conflict Resolution: to understand how to manage differences in opinions, family traditions, and cultural backgrounds. To also learn positive strategies of resolving any conflicts.

Nikah: to learn about an Islamic ‘wedding-contract’ and its various implications. It is a sacred bond, and its conditions and procedures may vary depending on regional & cultural practices.
