Apparently, people still don't know this.

Marriage isn't built on constant happiness.

Let me say that again for the people in the back.

Your marriage doesn't fail because you had a bad week.

Or because you went to bed angry.

Or because your spouse didn't respond the way you hoped.

It fails when you stop choosing each other.

When you stop forgiving.

When you let your ego win over your taqwa.

I see it all the time.

Couples come in thinking they're broken because they're not "happy" 24/7.

Because they argue about the same things.

Because after 5, 10, 25 years—they still have to work at it.

And I tell them what I'm telling you:

That's not a bug. That's a feature.

Marriage is two imperfect people learning to love imperfectly.

It's patience when you want to snap.

It's forgiveness when you want to keep score.

It's choosing ihsan when your nafs is screaming to hurt back.

You don't undo 25 years of habits overnight.

You don't merge two completely different lives without friction.

And being hurt never—NEVER—gives you permission to hurt back.

That's not Islam.

That's ego.

The Prophet ﷺ said the best of you are those who are best to their families.

Not perfect.

Best.

And "best" means showing up even when it's hard.

Forgiving even when it stings.

Choosing Allah's pleasure over your pride.

So if your marriage feels hard right now?

You're not failing.

You're in the exact place where real growth happens.

The question is: will you choose patience, forgiveness, and taqwa?

Or will you let your emotions lead?

Swipe through. Save this. Share it with someone who needs the reminder.

And tell me in the comments: which one do you struggle with most—patience, forgiveness, or letting taqwa
lead your reactions?

Let's talk about it. 👇🏽

This is it. Tomorrow, everything changes—or it stays the same.

You've seen the posts. You've felt the disconnect. You've wondered if your marriage could have more intimacy, more closeness, more peace.

Here's what makes More Than The Nikah different from everything else you've tried:

It's not public opinion. It's evidence-based. The Gottman Method has studied thousands of couples over decades and delivered real-world results—and I've customized it specifically for Muslim couples.

It's not just Islamic reminders. Yes, halal and haram matter. Yes, fulfilling your obligations matters. But this workshop goes deeper.

We're examining what makes us human—the primal intimacy needs that are unique to each partner—and how to unlock, understand, and satisfy them in a halal, respectful way.

It's informed by real experience. As a coach and therapist who's worked with Muslim couples navigating these exact struggles, I'm bringing you strategies that actually work—not theory, not fluff, not surface-level advice.

This is your last chance to stop settling for a marriage that's "fine" and start building one that's thriving.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of you are those who are best to their families." Being the best means seeking growth, even when it's uncomfortable.

"We've literally never talked about intimacy... is this workshop even for us?"

Actually? You're exactly who this workshop is for.

If you've never talked about intimacy before, how could you possibly be comfortable with it? How could you grow as a couple when the foundation for that growth was never built?

Will you feel unsure about a lot of things? Naturally.

Will some of it feel unfamiliar or even awkward? Probably.

But will you grow from it? Inshallah, absolutely.

Here's what you need to understand: you're missing out. Not just on connection, but on barakah.

Intimacy isn't just a worldly need—it's part of your worship. When you fulfill your spouse's intimate needs with the right intention, you're earning reward for your akhirah AND strengthening your bond in this dunya.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "In the sexual act of each of you, there is a sadaqah (charity)." Your intimacy matters to Allah. Don't let silence or discomfort rob you of that blessing.

"Will this workshop be too explicit? I'm already uncomfortable just thinking about it..."

Here's the truth you need to hear:

If the idea of this workshop makes you uncomfortable, that's exactly why you need it.

Discomfort around intimacy isn't modesty—it's a sign you and your spouse haven't learned how to talk about it openly. And that
silence? It's quietly damaging your marriage.

Will there be questions answered that might stretch you? Maybe.

Will some conversations feel unfamiliar or even awkward at first? Possibly.

But that discomfort is the doorway to growth.

This workshop isn't explicit for the sake of being explicit. It's honest, evidence-based, and rooted in Islamic principles—because your marriage deserves more than vague advice and cultural shame.

If you've been avoiding these conversations, now is the time to lean in. Embrace the discomfort. Make the necessary changes. Improve your marital quality and intimacy in a way that honors Allah and strengthens your bond.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself." That includes your spouse—and it starts with understanding their needs without shame.

"What's actually covered in a Muslim intimacy workshop—and is it really halal?"

Let me be clear: this isn't about compromising your values. It's about reclaiming the closeness Allah intended for your marriage.

In More Than The Nikah, you'll learn:

Gottman-tailored strategies designed specifically for Muslim couples to build intimacy in a halal, respectful way—rooted in evidence-based methods that actually work.

How to cultivate a solid friendship with your spouse so you truly understand each other—because friendship is the backbone of intimacy. Without it, everything else struggles.

Intimacy conversation skills that improve your attunement to one another. You'll learn how to pay attention to what makes your spouse feel loved, desired, and connected—without the awkwardness or shame.

This workshop isn't just theory. It's practical, actionable guidance that helps you communicate openly, respect each other deeply, and enjoy the intimacy that's your right as a married Muslim couple.

Allah says, "And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them" (Ar-Rum 30:21).

Tranquility doesn't happen by accident. It takes intention, skills, and sometimes—help.

Think marriage just works after the Nikah? Think again.

I'll never forget the couple who came to me three months after their wedding.

They were both in tears.

"We thought it would be easy," they said. "We thought love would be enough."

They'd done everything "right."

Halal relationship. Beautiful Nikah. Family support.

But nobody taught them how to actually TALK to each other.

Nobody taught them that intimacy is a skill, not a feeling.

Nobody taught them that the first year is supposed to be awkward.

And now they were sitting in my office wondering if they'd made the biggest mistake of their lives.

Here's what I told them (and what I wish someone had told me):

The Nikah is just the beginning.

It's not the finish line. It's the starting line.

You don't become "one" the moment you sign the contract.

You become one through a thousand small moments of choosing each other.

Through learning how to fight fair.

Through figuring out how to ask for what you need without shame.

Through building intimacy one vulnerable conversation at a time.

The couples who make it aren't the ones who had it easy from day one.

They're the ones who were willing to LEARN.

To admit they didn't have all the answers.

To seek help before it was too late.

Marriage is a skill. And like any skill, it can be taught.

This Wednesday, January 28th at 8PM CST, Mustafa Jabri, LPC is teaching the exact skills that transform awkward newlyweds into
connected couples.

In "More than the Nikah," you'll learn:
✓ How to ask for what you need without shame
✓ Validation techniques that actually work
✓ Respectful dialogue frameworks for difficult conversations
✓ Gottman-based communication tools used by top therapists

Whether you're newly married or years in and still struggling with connection—this workshop will give you the tools you wish you'd had from day one.

Registration closes January 27th.

Don't spend another year wishing you knew how to connect.

Learn how.

"Is it even halal to talk to a coach about our intimate life?"

Here's what many Muslims don't realize:

Islam doesn't restrict openness around intimacy. In fact, Islam encourages affection between spouses.

The Prophet ﷺ was open about intimacy with his wives. The Sahaba رضي الله عنهم asked questions about marital relations. Our deen was never built on shame or silence.

So yes—seeking professional help for intimacy issues is not only okay, it's an act of wisdom and care for your marriage.

When you learn how to best satisfy your spouse's intimate needs, you're not just improving your relationship. You're earning ajr (reward).

You're fulfilling the rights Allah placed between you.

And when you apply what you learn—when you speak your spouse's intimate language—you'll see your love grow stronger, your bond deepen, and your home fill with the mercy and tranquility Allah promised in Surah Ar-Rum.

Your marriage is an amanah (trust). Protecting it is worship.

👉 Get the guidance you need—join our new workshop, "More Than The Nikah" and strengthen your marriage the halal way. Link in bio or visit our website to learn more. Only a few days left to sign up.

⏰ Don't let silence steal the closeness Allah designed for you. Seek help. Grow together.

"Between work, kids, and life... intimacy is the last thing on our minds. Is our marriage doomed?"

No, but it does need your attention—before the distance becomes permanent.

Here's the reality: busy schedules and children don't just affect intimacy. They can completely erase it if you're not intentional.

But there are halal, practical solutions:

Seek support. Ask family, friends, or hire a babysitter to give you respite. Even a few hours can reconnect what weeks of chaos pulled apart.

Modify schedules. If one spouse is the breadwinner, explore adjusting work hours. If both work, consider whether living on one income is feasible—even temporarily.

Schedule intimacy. Yes, it might sound unromantic, but protecting your marriage is an act of wisdom. Put it on the calendar if you have to.

Weekly date nights matter. Even if it's just an hour at home after the kids sleep—talking, catching up, or being intimate. Connection doesn't require perfection. It requires consistency.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of you are those who are best to their families." Being "best" means prioritizing your spouse, even when life gets heavy.

⏰ Your marriage can't run on autopilot forever. Reconnect before it's too late.

"My spouse wants intimacy way more than I do—is something wrong with us?"

Short answer? No. You're completely normal.

Intimacy is subjective. Your wants are subjective. Your needs are subjective.

And mismatched desire is one of the most common struggles Muslim couples face—but almost no one talks about it.

Here's what shifts everything:

When you make the intention to please Allah, the pressure lifts. Intimacy stops being about "keeping score" or feeling guilty—and becomes about mutual devotion.

That intention also increases motivation. Even when you're not in the mood, framing intimacy as worship can open your heart in ways nothing else can.

But intention alone isn't enough. You also need to understand each other's needs and learn to compromise—not just around intimacy,
but in every area of your marriage.

Because compromise isn't weakness. It's respect. And when you both commit to meeting each other halfway, your marriage doesn't just survive—it thrives.

What if intimacy in your marriage wasn't just halal—but an act of worship that brought you closer to Allah AND each other?

Here's what changes when both partners make the intention to please Allah through intimacy:

You're not just fulfilling a desire. You're earning good deeds together.

The pressure lifts. Because when intimacy is framed as worship, it stops being about performance or obligation—and becomes about mutual respect and devotion.

Motivation increases. Even when one partner isn't in the mood, the intention to please Allah can shift the heart and create willingness.

Connection deepens. Especially during stressful times, intimacy becomes a source of comfort and reward—not another thing on the to-do list.

This is halal intimacy. And it transforms everything.

When you approach your spouse with the right intention, you're not just building a marriage. You're building a path to Jannah together.

Registration is only $10, but must save your spot before January 27th

⏰ Your intimacy can be a source of barakah. Don't let another day go by without it.

Apparently, people still don't know this...

Your marriage doesn't fail because of one big thing.

It fails because of a thousand small moments you were "too busy" for.

I see it all the time in coaching sessions.

Couples who love each other. Couples who want it to work. Couples who are just... exhausted.

They're crushing it at work. Raising amazing kids. Serving the community.

But they're strangers in their own home.

And here's the thing that breaks my heart:

They think this is just "the season they're in."

Like one day life will slow down and they'll magically reconnect.

But that day never comes.

Because life doesn't slow down.

You slow down FOR your marriage.

The Prophet ﷺ wasn't too busy for Khadijah رضي الله عنها. He made time to talk. To laugh. To connect.

And he was leading an entire Ummah.

So what's our excuse?

I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying it's essential.

Your spouse isn't asking for perfection.

They're asking for presence.

15 minutes of your full attention.

A conversation that goes deeper than "what's for dinner?"

A moment where you see them. Really see them.

That's not too much to ask.

That's the bare minimum of love.

This Wednesday, January 28th at 8PM CST, Mustafa Jabri, LPC is teaching couples how to create intentional intimacy even when life is chaotic.

In "More than the Nikah," you'll learn:

✓ How to ask for what you need without shame
✓ Validation techniques that actually work
✓ Respectful dialogue frameworks for difficult conversations
✓ Gottman-based communication tools used by top therapists

Because your marriage deserves more than your leftovers.

It deserves your best.

And the best part? You can do this from home. Together.
