Wives of Jannah: Islamic Relationship Advice

Megan Wyattwivesofjannah.com
The goal of Wives of Jannah is to strengthen Muslim women and their marriages through Islamic based relationship coaching, programs, written work, and resources like this podcast. What guides me in my work are three words: mouda, rahmah, and sakinah- the three words used in the Qur'an to describe marriage in chapter 30: ayah 21 - those translate to love, mercy, and tranquility. Marriage is something you learn while in it which means none of us arrive in our relationships knowing exactly what to do. I hope this podcast can offer you some insight from my relationship coaching experience starting back in 2009. - Megan Wyatt
