Ep 10: Muslim Marriage Crisis - Dr. Nafisa Sekandari

Pledge a coffee today! www.patreon.com/coffeewithkarim Why are
nearly 1/3 to 1/2 of Muslim marriages ending in divorce? I'm joined
by Dr. Nafisa Sekandari, a clinical psychologist and the director
and cofounder of Mental Health for Muslims (MH4M), a site aimed to
educate and normalize therapy for the Muslim community. We first
discuss how psychology and mental health is part of the Islamic
tradition. 27:00 min- "Why Love is Not Enough." We reflect on
important principles that all Muslims need to realize before and
during marriage, such as self care, self awareness and healthy
expectations. We talk about the differences between elder and
younger generations and their views on what is important for
relationships. What is the love delusion? Where do love narratives
come from? The difference between chemistry and character and why
it is not safe to marry "potential." Web
