Marriage, at its best, is a source of peace, strength and security to the couple. It is from this foundation of love and mercy that children are brought into this world. The family unit provides a cushion to each other from the harshness of the outside world. It covers each others faults, it protects, it cherishes and loves, gives confidence and self-esteem. Unfortunately, this ideal doesn t come ready-made. It has to be achieved through hard work by both partners in a marriage, starting from before the couple even get married. SECRETS TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE is an invaluable guide written by a qualified and experienced Islamic relationship counsellor.
