The Islamic Marriage Foundation at the IHW is happy to announce the completion of another successful “MARRIAGE SEMINAR” which took place on Oct 17, 2021

The theme of this seminar was:

“THE ART OF PROTECTING RELATIONSHIPS FROM WEANING OFF…”

This workshop is sponsored & hosted by (IHW) every 6 months, to help provide constructive stronger marriages in our community.

Our mission is “stronger marriages build stronger families, stronger families build stronger communities”

Our aim is to 1) bring together those that are ready for a lifelong commitment and 2) to bring those that are already in a lifelong commitment, prepare them with specialized skills & Knowledge required to evolve .

This one day workshop focused on how to work together and build a stronger marriage, preventing it from weaning off…

“Evolving into the right person!”

Marriage is not like a house you walk into, they have to be built from day one and all the way to the end of your life...a construction of knowledge and love.

After the warm welcome, as an icebreaker and in order for us to get to know each other better participants were asked to introduce themselves using the information they filled in the ⅗ cards when they arrived.

Main topics powerpoint was presented titled 1: (understanding your partner’s personality) 2: (How to achieve a perfect “imperfect” relationship.) Followed by a short video on the difference between sympathy & empathy in relationships. After the video participants were asked to answer questions given to them about the video as they were divided into groups and asked to discuss their answers with their group. A 30 minute break session for prayer and lunch was given was followed by some advise for success in relationships by Terrance Findley/Life Coach. The program concluded with a couple that got married through the Marriage Foundation, sharing their exciting & beautiful experience.

We had 21 attendees that were very interested, with great feedback on the evaluation sheet.
