Handbook of A Healthy Muslim Marriage: Unlocking The Secrets To Ultimate Bliss
Description
This handbook takes on one of the most consequential subjects a Muslim will ever face and treats it with the seriousness it deserves. Shaykh Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera writes not only as a scholar but as someone who has spent thousands of hours in spiritual and marital counseling, and that experience shapes every page. The tone is warm and sympathetic throughout, grounded in Islamic scholarship yet free of unnecessary jargon.
Inside, the topics move through the full arc of married life: how to find a partner, navigating relationships with in-laws, building spousal intimacy, and the realities of divorce. The book bridges the legal framework of marriage with the cultural and social contexts couples actually live in, offering guidance that is practical rather than merely theoretical. It speaks equally to those still searching for a spouse, to newlyweds finding their footing, and to couples years into marriage who want to strengthen what they have.
This White Thread Press edition runs 264 pages, published in 2021. It has found a place on the shelves of counselors and couples alike, valued for combining sound fiqhi grounding with real pastoral insight. For a reader looking for one comprehensive guide to the subject, in a register that is honest and unhurried rather than sentimental, this is a fine place to begin.
