When Muslim Marriage Fails

Aslaamu-alaikum world. So I wanted to finally give a book review on
When Muslim Marriage Fails by Suzy Ismail. Today has been very awesome had several calls today, and now have some job interviews lined up for when I return. So very exciting. No more dancing for dollars!lol But anyways back to the matter at hand, this book review. Suzy Ismail hit the nail on the head in so many ways and is so on point with this book. The reason I liked it and would recommend it as a must read for Muslim couples , especially new couples . Actually this book is for EVERYONE, single , married, divorced.

This book is really good because the couple each tells their story of how their marriage began and how it ultimately ended. This book is funny , but also sad , and very real. It is such a good example of how men and women think totally different. The women in this book all feel one way and the ex-husbands feel another. Reading this book I really felt bad for the women, some of them have really been thru some jacked up crap. It really had me think more about my own marriage and the good qualities I value in Hassan. I was reading some of the chapters ...like woa snap this is so sad. But the lessons I took away are we have to value the blessings we are given. Also how it is vital to any marriage to discuss goals, roles, expectations and child raising and household responsibilities before getting married. Luckily me and Hassan went to pre-martial counseling before we got married with the Imam, so also of these issues were discussed before had. I do recommend this book. It is a must read for the low price of $14.. yall better get this one.!
Another good thing about this book is after each story, "her story" then "his story", she has commentary and explains how the couple could have went about things differently and perhaps saved their marriage and became a happier more loving couple.
