A lot of parents could potentially get mad at me....but a lot could see the truth in what I'm saying as well and save the lives of their children from potential ruin. + Family pressure when looking for a spouse is a real thing. I have seen TONS of people marry people they weren't TRULY interested to please their family...only to end of divorced shortly after or trapped in dead end marriages. Yeh....it's a HUGE epidemic in the Muslim community. + I'm taking a HUGE risk talking about it, but I think it's time...and as a practicing Muslimah I'm obligated to speak up, as we all are. + In this podcast, I share the story of a girl that is near and dear to my heart. A girl who suffered immense pain at the hand of those who loved her most. Layla's story is not her own. It is the story of countless Muslims walking the tight rope between family obligation and personal happiness. It's time we talk about this struggle and how we can find balance and solutions, insh'Allah. + **As promised, I will be handing out a FREE resource (a sneak peak portion of my upcoming course The Muslim Marriage Lab) to help you find what you really want in a spouse as you self-reflect.
