Last week ended on a huge cliff hanger! So, whats happens next?

Let's navigate the uncharted waters of premarital courses and their pivotal role in forming a strong and successful relationship. I believe that learning about conflict management, fostering intimacy and trust, and acknowledging each other's feelings together through these courses can provide the necessary tools to manage perennial issues. Hear about the art of post-conflict conversation and the importance of establishing conflict rules. You'll get a peek into some of the highly recommended courses for both premarital and married couples.

The last leg of this journey explores the importance of shared values in long-distance relationships and how to formulate a timeline to progress the relationship. The episode expands on the necessity of an equal investment in relationships and the significance of setting boundaries and maintaining respect for your partner. As my relationship unfolds, the underlying uncertainties push me towards trusting Allah to guide me through. My reliance on dua, vision board, and other tools keep me grounded, and I aim to share this strength and hope with all single Muslim women embarking on their journey in the realm of relationships.

Here are the courses I highly recommend:

Shaykh Bilal Dannoun's Five C's of marriage https://www.muslimmarriagecourses.com/
The Gottman Institute courses https://gottmanconnect.com/couples
Haleh Banani's 5 Pillars of Marriage https://courses.halehbanani.com/5-pillars-of-marriage-program
Dr Sue Johnson's Hold Me tight https://holdmetightonline.com/

On a personal quest to find my spouse, I delve into the depths of online matchmaking, maneuvering its emotional landscape, and setting my standards high. Listen in as I discuss how a strong support network and self-care practices kept me grounded, and the empowering decision to confront potential mismatches head-on. It's not always smooth sailing, but I assure you, the resilience and self-realization that come from it are worth the trials.

What happens when you start trusting yourself to the point where you're contemplating a life-altering decision like moving overseas? We'll navigate that shaky ground together, sifting through genuine connections and visa seekers, and tackling the complex emotions of making these decisions without a motherly figure around. Online match making isn't just about matching with someone; it's also about safety, trust, and the courage to make a decision that you are aligned with,

And what if your potential match isn't in the same city, or even the same country? I share my personal saga of connecting with a suitor based in Dubai, armed with my father's advice and a prayer for guidance. Hear about the intricacies of long-distance relationships, the fear of relocation, and the solace a coach can provide in such situations. But just as we're unpacking these complexities, hold your breath for a cliffhanger that will have you yearning for the next chapter of my journey. This episode is not just about my experience; it's a source of hope, a toolbox, and a validation for every single Muslim woman on her journey to find a spouse.
