Out of every analogy that I have ever heard, undoubtedly, the Qur’an gives the most accurate description of what a loving marriage should look like. Allah Most High beautifully compares spouses as garments for each other.
A garment is worn for many reasons. It protects the body from the heat and cold. It covers a person’s blemishes and faults. It adorns the person with its unique beauty. It holds tightly against the skin for extra support, and it fits in the most perfect of ways.
Similarly is a spouse to a spouse.
A spouse protects you from sinful lusts by fulfilling your needs of love.
A spouse covers your weaknesses by forgiving and overlooking.
A spouse adorns your life by decorating it with their beautiful Islamic character.
A spouse is a source of support, security, warmth, and comfort through the ups and downs experienced in this world.
Thus, when spouses are garments for each other, they will feel bare and exposed without the other person by their side.
But a garment only stays in good condition for as long as you take care of it. Follow these tips to be a garment for your spouse.

Feedback From Participants
“I loved this workshop! It was an ocean of beneficial information, advice and real-life anecdotes derived from Ustadha Naielah’s coaching experience. It started with an inspiring, Islamic-based perspective on the wholesomeness and benefits of marriage, then moved to some serious reflections about whether we are ready for marriage or not, and then had a number of practical sections about how to go about finding one’s future spouse – where to look, what to look for, must-ask questions, deal breakers, red flags, how to choose and how to deal with disappointment if things don’t work out. Ust. Naielah also added lots of relevant links for further advice about specific topics.”
“Jazakhallah for your lovely talk on the premarital workshop, I’ve learnt a lot, and know the kind of questions to ask!”
“Thank you for the great presentation.”
“So many useful topics covered. Filled with gems.”

Can't Do It All? Remember This...
We live in a world where it seems like everyone is achieving whatever they want. This can be encouraging from one angle but debilitating from another.
When we see people accomplishing their goals but we cannot do the same, it can create self-esteem issues. The mind can't help but compare. We then blame ourselves for being too lazy, too stupid, too busy, or too incompetent.
Here's the hardcore truth: Whatever is written for you is what you will actually achieve.
We aren't the ones deciding our destiny. Allah is the One running our affairs. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to succeed. Rather it means we shouldn't beat ourselves up over not succeeding in every expectation we have.
When you find yourself upset or disappointed in what you haven't been able to achieve, do the following:
1. Remember that Allah Most High has gifted you with many great qualities. Think about how much you have accomplished this week, this month, this year, and these past five years.
2. Celebrate the small steps taken and focus less on only noticing the big wins. Every major goal achieved had minor actions that were taken to lead up to it.
3. Remind yourself that aiming for the Next Life is more important than aiming for anything in this world.
4. Be happy for others in what Allah has granted them, and don't be envious of their blessings. You have been gifted with blessings too.
5. See it as a reminder of what you need to do. Tap into your ambitious self and start moving towards an achievable goal.
When you affirm your conviction that Allah Most High has and will give you what is best, anything is possible.
