Healthy Muslim Marriages

Uzma Jafri
About this episode

Are we talking about sexuality and intimacy the right way? How we navigate these subjects can make or break our relationships; with our partners, and later on, with our kids if we don't learn how to be sex positive. 

Too often, these discussions are academic or purely rule-based, leaving little room for emotional depth, vulnerable connection, and the nuanced challenges couples actually face. In this episode, @coachmeganwyatt helps us explore emotionally intelligent thoughts and conversations about sexuality and intimacy. Her approach certainly sheds more light on how we understand marital duties versus rights, and how we spiritually connect with our partners.

We also unpack some common marital challenges that cross her professional desk, from mismatched expectations to unspoken needs, and discuss where couples—and even community leaders—go wrong in addressing these issues. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Tune in now, and let’s start asking the right questions to have uncomfortable conversations. 🎙️💬
