Salaam/Peace,

I know that this is an interesting topic for most, however as we are "pro morals" we felt we had to touch on the topic of prepping our children for marriage. In Islam, we don't do the "boyfriend/girlfriend" thing, and those who do are not practicing what Islam teaches.

Now marriage is a big commitment and there is no one way to build an outstanding one. However, there are tools and tips that we use and that we've learned to improve on our marriages to make them outstanding and we...

The first step to recognizing a crisis is identifying it. Often times we don't recognize we're in crisis. Positive spiritual re-framing can help people by forming a connection with a higher power which helps them feel empowered during tragedy. Some people view spirituality as a way to make themselves a part of something big!

This can happen through meditation, prayer, taking part in spiritual meetings; or even taking a walk outside. These rituals can create a cultivating connection. ...

Our newest episode of Candid Cowives Conversations is now available and we decided to speak on relationships with bonus/stepchildren. Coach Fatimah and I recorded videos on our experience as well as best practices to take when you are building relationships with your bonus/stepchildren. After speaking on a topic that doesn't get much attention, we received many requests to speak and train on it more. In our Relationship Mastery Inner Circle I touched on bonding with bonus children...

Being grounded spiritually has helped me in so many ways. As I connect with others through networking, business or even throughout different social events, when we speak about what is the reason for their success, whether it be in their marriages, relationships, business or anything else, their spirituality is at the top of the list. Mind you, many people I speak with do not practice the same faith as I do, however, they can agree that when they want peace, when they need guidance...

Being Muslim, speaking on spirituality to some may make them think that I'm trying to convert them or think that Islam is all I know. As Islam is my way of life and the religion I choose to keep me grounded, I don't judge people for what they believe. That is between them and the Creator. I do however, like to know why people believe what they do and how it affects them in their daily lives. That is what led me to Islam and my own spiritual journey. I created a video about that as...

 Have you ever wondered how to begin to nurture a bond with bonus children? Well, I definitely have in the past. As an initial wife I get many questions about how, I personally bonded with my bonus children/stepchildren. Check out the video here!

   Especially in polygyny, child to step-parent relationships can tend to feel awkward or tense BUT they don’t have to. In this video I talk about my experience as a step parent/bonus mom and the impact that this role has had on my life. ...

Are you married to a person who has/have a child or children from a previous marriage? Are you in polygyny and you are trying to navigate your relationship with the child/children of your spouse? 

This could be a tricky part of relationship building and as crazy as it may sound, it depends on the maturity of the adults. Children take cues from their parents, whether it be good or bad and it takes proper communication, emotional maturity and the willingness to grow to make the bon...

As we continue on this theme of BONDING through the month of August it's only fitting that Outstanding Personal Relationships speak on bonding with your spouse. I mean, we are marriage coaches and yes, that includes polygyny, so what type of marriage and polygyny coaches would we be if we did not train on how to bond with your spouse? We did a video as well as a blog on bonding with your co-wife if you just so happen to practice polygyny and you can check that out HERE. 

Bonding ...

Bonding with Your Co-wife

As co-wives, we decided to create a video addressing why, we as women need create a bond within ourselves and other women as well.

• What does bonding with “you” look like?
• Why is creating bonds with other women important, especially with your co-wife?  

In this video we give our take on being your “authentic self “with the understanding that we don’t have to be perfect, to be a work in progress. Only YOU can free yourself from, the barriers that prevent your bond...

Salaamu alaykum/Peace, 

The topic of polygyny is one that generates lots of emotion no matter what side of the fence you are on. The absolute most frequent question I get is, "why would a married man want to marry another wife?" I answer the question as best as I can in the video. 

There are many myths about why a man would want to marry again and there are just as many conspiracies. Fact is, men, like women, are not a monolith so there are a plethora of reasons. We understand why women would ...
