Building a Marriage that Lasts: Pre-Marital Workshop

This premarital workshop, which will be facilitated by Ustadh Jabir Tarin from Wasilah Connections will be split into three parts - presentation, discussion, and a Q&A period - and will cover a variety of topics, including gender communication patterns, conflict resolution, intimacy, divorce, and the spiritual benefits of marriage. Please note that the workshop will be information heavy, so we ask that all attendees bring a notebook and something to write with.

The workshop is one of the biggest events of the year, and will cover topics that allow individuals to make the best informed decisions to prepare for the blessing and challenges of marriage. The event is open to all who wish to attend, please feel free to message us with any questions!
