4 Things Muslim Couples MUST Do Before Marriage

DID YOU KNOW?

Muslim couples are often unequipped and unprepared for the challenges ahead.


Chances are, you've seen this among your friends and family too.
 

In all the excitement surrounding their wedding, couples start planning for their special day and forget to plan for a healthy married life.

Amal Killawi, a researcher at The FYI, conducted a study that found many couples (especially newlyweds) had mismatched and unrealistic expectations about the realities of marriage. 

Because of their mismanaged expectations, many fell into a negative cycle that ultimately weakened their relationship.

Many said that they didn't realize the importance of preparing for marriage or discussing topics like finances, family, intimacy and parenthood beforehand. 

They wished that someone had encouraged them to prepare for life together amidst the wedding planning and festivities.

Here's why premarital guidance is a MUST.

  • Premarital education (PME) reduces the chances of divorce by 33%.
  • Couples who engaged in premarital education were found to have lesser negative communications after marriage.
  • 9 out of 10 couples who completed PME were less likely to divorce.

 

Preparing now will empower you to navigate through the challenges that inevitably come with every marriage.

We've piloted this course with several couples.

Here's what they had to say about it:

 This course helped establish a healthy understanding of compatibility and mismatched expectations. It guided me on what I should pay attention to in regards to myself and my understanding of what I want in my relationship.

- OBADAH ALFAHAM

My biggest lesson was how to communicate with my partner more effectively. We have very different personalities and it was really illuminating to see that visually and described by a professional. I would highly recommend this course. I can't stop raving about it.

- ANISA A.

This course taught me to be an active learner with my partner and to openly communicate - even if it is about things that might be controversial, like money or family or friends. These things need to be talked about.

Hear what others have to say about Prepare to Pair:

The course allowed us to identify growth areas to work on in our marriage. I would highly recommend this course to couples who are interested in getting married. Thank you to The FYI team for allowing us to participate!

- ZAIBA

My wife and I chose to enroll for Prepare to Pair because the cost was much lower than paying for multiple sessions with a counselor. This course would be very useful to a Muslim couple looking to get married. 

- AARON MORRISON

I liked the go-at-your-own-pace structure. I also like how there is a deadline to complete the course. The course content was well-structured, the discussion questions were great and the "homework" was beneficial. Every part of this program was intentional and well-crafted.

- ANISA A.
