SMART - Marriage Solutions

SPECIFIC:  Solutions for couples need to cater specifically for their needs, whilst referring to general principles applicable to all. We are therefore here to identify and lay down viable principles that they can follow.


MEASURABLE: In each case an appropriate time-frame is needed to suit their progress, this can guide the clients to a short-term goal.


ACHIEVABLE: Both the spouses take a ‘positive’ approach in restoring, repairing or building foundations for a healthy relationship, and setting goals that can be reached.


REALISTIC: Whatever is possible and a ‘Can do attitude’ will fulfil immediate short-term problems that can be overlooked, together with longer term solutions.


TIPS: Stick to key and instant ‘advice patterns’, ‘immediate solutions’ to general problems which we disseminate.

Quotes - Marriage Solutions

“Remember, a marital relationship is not restricted to only a woman fulfilling the rights upon her; this, we see again, as the cultural and traditional input that plays a big part in spoiling a marriage when it is really about BOTH husband and wife striking a beautiful balance, whereby we can actually see a constructive relationship.  It is unfortunate though, that we lack in understanding about this very important aspect of life.”

“Try to be content with whatever comes your way, life in this world will comprise of a lot of challenges so be prepared to overcome them.”

“A despotic husband causes his vulnerable wife to think of him as being stubborn, thus problems are often unjustified, or even worse stagnant and not ready to be just part of the past.”

“The atmosphere of a relationship (going downhill) maybe saddening to hear, but the ‘tit for tat’ that goes on between them is so childish.”

“Wife is life and life is wife, so until then, work is life and life is work, the conclusion is these are two extremes, other things are being forgotten.”

“Husband and wife are like two pieces of a jigsaw, they're not the same but connect perfectly when they are put together.”

“Be careful what you say, when speaking to your partner, try and think if what you are going to say could upset your spouse, and remember your tone. Have you thought of that when speaking to your spouse?”

“It’s impossible to get a husband/wife who is perfect in every way, and more so, the way you exactly want however..... It is possible, highly that you enjoy and find the things you like in them, just remember the two jigsaw pieces so connect at once and disconnect all the disagreements, agree to disagree and move on to enjoy what you both like doing together.”


“Improve your relationship, not by discouraging it, but by re-enacting it”

“Don't forget 'self-assessment' each day is a key to improving yourself”

“Be grateful for what you have and possess, for others (whom you may not know of) are completely deprived”

"Keep some amount of space between you and your partner, this will ensure that you reconnect with your rabb exclusively”

The messenger said “The one who believes in Allah and the last day, say something good otherwise keep silent” (aw nahwu haaza)

"Sometimes people do not see your good actions, it just passes their head, so why bother trying to show them.

“You carry on doing the good 'AMAL' for the sake of Allah, automatically Allah will soon notify them of your good that you show them through your actions”

“Marriage is a serious relationship, you can't expect everything to be the way you want it to be, so be fair...”

“Be prepared & try2always handle situations how Allah would want you2, through the example of the messenger, in accordance2the time & place”

“A mu'min is a mirror for a mu'min, & a mu'min is a brother of a mu'min, who prevents him/her from danger& protects him/her in their absence” (Hadith)

“Understand what needs concentration and consideration before making brave decisions, by which others are affected”

“At times you have to learn how to cope alone, but remember Allah is besides you to take to along”

“Think b4 you talk and rehearse b4 you make a move (it could help)”

“You want a perfect wife/husband but you have to remind yourself, the same is expected from you”

“A HUSBAND cannot do whatever he wants and a WIFE cannot do whatever she wants. There has to be some sort of mutual understanding, consideration and a middle line”

“Forbidden relationships should not even start in the first place, get married, yes if you know of someone, don't be saying you’re not ready (even when you have the means)”

Our Initiative - Marriage Solutions

Islamic Marriage Solutions
(Overlook the bitter to taste the better...)

The sole objective is to recreate and regain mutual harmony, love and understanding between spouses.

“We aspire to improve the relationship through better communication and cooperation”

This should result in a more successful marriage.


Although many couples are faced with general problems, others may encounter more complex situations; therefore it is imperative to treat each case individually.


We aim to look at the immediate needs of both parties to enable appropriate assessment with a view to reach a safe and sound conclusion.

A general analysis - Marriage Solutions

I would like to mention a survey that we carried out (during the end of 2013).

We attended an event for families where almost 100% of the people were of Asian origin, mainly from Bangladesh.

We asked their opinions on what they thought are the most common issues that adversely affect a marriage and what the solution might be.

We got a variety of responses i.e. from communication problem, lack of patience and understanding, to family interference and lack of respect.

Almost all participants cited a lack of tolerance, mutual respect, and patience as well as poor understanding of religion as the cause of these issues.

It seems as though couples have lost sight of the harmony that was created in the beginning of their marriages and are not willing to back down if they feel they have been wronged and it seems to be a blame game.

Evident was the fact that neither husband nor wife is willing to overlook their own shortcomings, and are quick to point the finger at the other.

It was found that couples forgot about the reasons why they got married in the first place and this applied to arrange and non arranged marriages.

The basic fundamentals of a successful marriage such as mutual respect, understanding, honesty, and feelings of care and love seem to disappear very quickly when faced with a challenge.

Many couples are reluctant to admit to family members that there is a problem in their marriage.
And if family members DO get involved, they are often accused of being biased and this is understandable.

Also couples may not be able to fully express themselves in front of family members.
Therefore the Work we are involved in allows couples to open up fully in a regulated environment and free from bias and judgement.

Survey and Feedback - Marriage Solutions

Praise is to God, we were able to conduct a survey to explore the views and opinions of the general public on what THEY THOUGHT were the most common issues adversely affecting a marriage and what was the best solution.

A few points should be emphasised before delving into the results of the survey.
·        There is no such thing as a perfect man, a perfect woman or indeed a perfect marriage.  Perfection belongs only to God.

·        We were not sent to this world to find happiness, rather we were sent solely to worship God.

·        God does not burden a soul with more than it can bear.  Our trials and tribulations are unique to us.  How we conduct ourselves during such times will determine our success in this life and the next.
·        We can never change unless we change what is within ourselves, so before pointing to the faults of others, let us begin with analysing ourselves.
·        Du’aa (supplication) is a weapon of a believer.  Never under estimate the power of Du’aa.
·        One must equip oneself with knowledge of the rights of the husband/wife.

Bearing these basic factors in mind will help us to create a more harmonious relationship, if God wills. And help us to be more tolerant towards each other.
There were a variety of responses.
·        Family problems
·        Cultural conflicts
·        Financial issues
·        Living arrangements
·        Lack of patience

However, the most common response was-
·        Lack of Islam.

The solution to all these problems can be found by incorporating Islam fully in life. This was the general response on the day.
The common foundation of a successful marriage is surely in following Islam as a way of life.

Islam provides us with the tools that can make our whole lives successful.
So, brothers and sisters let us make a firm intention to commit to understanding our deen better and making the necessary changes in our lives.
