Islamic Marriage Education​

Men and women face distinct challenges when it comes to marriage education.

As we enter the final lap of our journey to Nikah, it is absolutely critical that both
brothers and sisters have a full and detailed understanding of the courting process and Islamic expectations, rights and responsibilities for marriage (and divorce). Disconnects
on either side regarding the basic foundation of marriage in Islam is a major reason so many marriages fall apart. Thus, all MOD members must complete the marriage and divorce seminar prior to being introduced to a potential match. Strong families start with a strong foundation.
