"Between work, kids, and life... intimacy is the last thing on our minds. Is our marriage doomed?"

No, but it does need your attention—before the distance becomes permanent.

Here's the reality: busy schedules and children don't just affect intimacy. They can completely erase it if you're not intentional.

But there are halal, practical solutions:

Seek support. Ask family, friends, or hire a babysitter to give you respite. Even a few hours can reconnect what weeks of chaos pulled apart.

Modify schedules. If one spouse is the breadwinner, explore adjusting work hours. If both work, consider whether living on one income is feasible—even temporarily.

Schedule intimacy. Yes, it might sound unromantic, but protecting your marriage is an act of wisdom. Put it on the calendar if you have to.

Weekly date nights matter. Even if it's just an hour at home after the kids sleep—talking, catching up, or being intimate. Connection doesn't require perfection. It requires consistency.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of you are those who are best to their families." Being "best" means prioritizing your spouse, even when life gets heavy.

"My spouse wants intimacy way more than I do—is something wrong with us?"

Short answer? No. You're completely normal.

Intimacy is subjective. Your wants are subjective. Your needs are subjective.

And mismatched desire is one of the most common struggles Muslim couples face—but almost no one talks about it.

Here's what shifts everything:

When you make the intention to please Allah, the pressure lifts. Intimacy stops being about "keeping score" or feeling guilty—and becomes about mutual devotion.

That intention also increases motivation. Even when you're not in the mood, framing intimacy as worship can open your heart in ways nothing else can.

But intention alone isn't enough. You also need to understand each other's needs and learn to compromise—not just around intimacy,
but in every area of your marriage.

Because compromise isn't weakness. It's respect. And when you both commit to meeting each other halfway, your marriage doesn't just survive—it thrives.

What if intimacy in your marriage wasn't just halal—but an act of worship that brought you closer to Allah AND each other?

Here's what changes when both partners make the intention to please Allah through intimacy:

You're not just fulfilling a desire. You're earning good deeds together.

The pressure lifts. Because when intimacy is framed as worship, it stops being about performance or obligation—and becomes about mutual respect and devotion.

Motivation increases. Even when one partner isn't in the mood, the intention to please Allah can shift the heart and create willingness.

Connection deepens. Especially during stressful times, intimacy becomes a source of comfort and reward—not another thing on the to-do list.

This is halal intimacy. And it transforms everything.

When you approach your spouse with the right intention, you're not just building a marriage. You're building a path to Jannah together.

Apparently, people still don't know this...

Your marriage doesn't fail because of one big thing.

It fails because of a thousand small moments you were "too busy" for.

I see it all the time in coaching sessions.

Couples who love each other. Couples who want it to work. Couples who are just... exhausted.

They're crushing it at work. Raising amazing kids. Serving the community.

But they're strangers in their own home.

And here's the thing that breaks my heart:

They think this is just "the season they're in."

Like one day life will slow down and they'll magically reconnect.

But that day never comes.

Because life doesn't slow down.

You slow down FOR your marriage.

The Prophet ﷺ wasn't too busy for Khadijah رضي الله عنها. He made time to talk. To laugh. To connect.

And he was leading an entire Ummah.

So what's our excuse?

I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying it's essential.

Your spouse isn't asking for perfection.

They're asking for presence.

15 minutes of your full attention.

A conversation that goes deeper than "what's for dinner?"

A moment where you see them. Really see them.

That's not too much to ask.

That's the bare minimum of love.

This Wednesday, January 28th at 8PM CST, Mustafa Jabri, LPC is teaching couples how to create intentional intimacy even when life is chaotic.

In "More than the Nikah," you'll learn:

✓ How to ask for what you need without shame
✓ Validation techniques that actually work
✓ Respectful dialogue frameworks for difficult conversations
✓ Gottman-based communication tools used by top therapists

Because your marriage deserves more than your leftovers.

It deserves your best.

And the best part? You can do this from home. Together.

Embarrassment around intimacy isn't about modesty—it's about unhealed wounds.

If you or your spouse freeze up, withdraw, or get defensive when intimacy comes up, here's what's really happening:

You never learned how to express emotions effectively.

Maybe it's relational trauma. Maybe it's how you were raised. Maybe past experiences with family or friends taught you that vulnerability = danger.

So now? Talking about intimacy feels unsafe. You shut down. You criticize. You avoid. Or worse—you feel disrespected every time the conversation starts.

This emotional stuntedness doesn't just hurt your intimacy. It quietly erodes your entire marriage.

But here's the good news: You can learn how to navigate this. You can create safety. You can communicate with respect and validation—so that intimacy becomes something you both look forward to, not something you dread.

Your marriage deserves more than silence and shame.

If you can't remember the last time you genuinely enjoyed each other's company... your intimacy is already struggling.

Here's what most couples miss:

Intimacy doesn't start in the bedroom. It starts with friendship.

When you don't know each other's interests, likes, dislikes—when you can't compliment each other or even smile at each other without it feeling forced—that distance shows up everywhere.

You walk away from conversations. You feel misunderstood. You might even feel superior to your spouse (or they feel that way about you).

And slowly, disrespect creeps in where love and appreciation used to live.

The truth? You're not broken. Your friendship just needs rebuilding.

And when you rebuild that foundation, intimacy—real, deep, halal intimacy—becomes natural again.

You don't have to keep living like roommates. You don't have to keep pretending everything's fine.

⏰ The longer you wait, the wider the gap becomes. Start rebuilding today.

🛑 STOP doing awkward silence and do THIS instead. 🛑

I've counseled hundreds of Muslim couples as a Licensed Professional Counselor. And you know what the number one intimacy killer is?

Not lack of attraction.

Not busy schedules.

Not even cultural differences.

It's the inability to say out loud what you need.

You lie next to someone every night but can't tell them what would make you feel loved. Desired. Satisfied.

Instead, you drop hints. You wait for them to magically know. You suffer in silence and call it "being patient."

But here's the thing: Your spouse isn't psychic. And guessing games don't build intimacy—they build resentment.

One person feels constantly rejected because they're not getting what they need. The other feels inadequate because they can't figure out what's wrong. Both feel alone in a marriage that's supposed to be their closest companionship.

And the tragedy? It's all preventable.

Because communication isn't some mysterious gift you're either born with or not. It's a skill. One that can be learned, practiced, and mastered.

The Sahabah didn't whisper about intimacy—they asked the Prophet ﷺ direct questions. Aisha (RA) taught women about their rights in marriage. Classical scholars wrote entire chapters on marital relations.

Islam gave you permission to talk about this. Your culture took it away.

And now you're stuck in this painful middle ground where you know you need to communicate but have no idea how to start the conversation without dying of embarrassment.

Look, I get it. Saying "I need more physical affection" or "Can we try something different?" feels vulnerable. Scary. Maybe even shameful.

But you know what's worse? Another year of unmet needs. Another year of your spouse thinking everything's fine while you're quietly drowning. Another year of intimacy that feels like obligation instead of connection.

That's why we're teaching Gottman-based communication tools specifically adapted for Muslim couples on January 28st at 8PM CST.

Not vague advice like "just talk more." Actual frameworks. Specific phrases.

Because your marriage deserves better than silence and guessing.

We fulfill our obligations... so why does our marriage still feel distant?"

If you and your spouse struggle to talk about intimacy, here's the uncomfortable truth:

🚫 You were never taught how—not by your parents, not by your community, not even at your nikkah
💔 Obligations became the ceiling, not the foundation—so connection gets replaced with "checking boxes"
🙊 Embarrassment and silence are passed down generationally—and now it's quietly eroding the closeness you crave
🔓 Intimacy isn't haram. Ignoring it is what hurts your marriage.—it's time to redefine what a fulfilling Muslim marriage actually looks like

You don't have to keep suffering in silence. You don't have to settle for "good enough."

⏰ The conversation you've been avoiding is the one that could change everything. Don't wait.

If you've ever felt like intimacy is the "forbidden topic" in your Muslim marriage... you're not alone—and it's costing you connection.
Here's what we're unpacking in this workshop:

💬 Why silence around intimacy isn't modesty—it's a barrier to the closeness Allah designed for spouses
🔥 Evidence-based strategies (Gottman Method) that help Muslim couples communicate openly about physical and emotional connection—without the shame
✨ How to build confidence in your marriage by addressing what most won't talk about, so you can enjoy each other in this life and the next
🤲 Islam prioritizes worship AND pleasure—you don't have to choose between being a good Muslim and having a thriving, intimate marriage

This isn't about compromising your values. It's about reclaiming the wholeness, joy, and halal intimacy you deserve.

Every Muslim needs to understand this...

The Prophet ﷺ didn't just love his wives. He genuinely enjoyed spending time with them.

He raced with Aisha (RA). He sought her advice. He made her laugh.

With Khadijah (RA), he found his closest companion, his confidant, his supporter.

They weren't just married. They were friends.

And here's what 40 years of research by Dr. John Gottman confirms: couples with the strongest intimate lives are the ones who genuinely like each other.

Not just love. Like.

Because you can love someone out of obligation or history. But you can't manufacture desire for someone whose company you don't actually enjoy.

Think about it.

When you're friends with your spouse, intimacy flows naturally. You want to be close. You feel safe being vulnerable. Connection doesn't feel like work.

But when friendship dies? Intimacy becomes transactional. Mechanical. Something you "owe" each other rather than something you both crave.

I see this pattern constantly in my practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Couples come in struggling with intimacy, and when we dig deeper, the real issue isn't physical.

It's that they stopped being friends.

They talk about bills and kids and schedules. But they don't actually talk. They share a home but not their inner worlds. They're roommates who occasionally have obligatory s*x.

And they wonder why the spark is gone.

Here's the truth: You can't skip friendship and expect lasting intimacy. It doesn't work that way.

The good news? Friendship can be rebuilt. With intention. With the right tools. With Gottman-based strategies adapted for Muslim couples.

That's exactly what we're covering January 28th at 8PM CST in "More than the Nikah."

How to rebuild the friendship foundation that makes everything else—communication, validation, intimacy—actually work.

Because your marriage deserves more than coexistence.

It deserves the companionship the Prophet ﷺ modeled for us.

In sha Allah, this is where transformation begins.

As-salamu alaykum,

Can we talk about something that's affecting too many Muslim marriages but no one discusses openly?

The intimacy struggle.

Cultural shame has made it impossible for couples to communicate about their needs. So they suffer in silence while their marriages drift apart.

Islam celebrates marital intimacy - the Prophet ﷺ spoke about it openly. But we've lost that healthy conversation.

Wednesday, Jan 28th at 8PM CST - Licensed therapist Mustafa Jabri is teaching “More than the Nikah: Growing Sexual Intimacy After 'I Do'"

✅ Gottman-based strategies for Muslim couples
✅ How to communicate needs without shame
✅ Islamic framework for marital connection

Registration: https://go.ihsancoaching.com/morethannikah

Please share with married couples who might benefit. This could save marriages, in sha Allah.

01/13/2026

It's time for an honest conversation.

Islam celebrates marital intimacy as a blessed part of marriage. The Sahabah asked direct questions. Classical scholars wrote detailed guidance.

Yet somehow, we've convinced ourselves that struggling in silence is more pious than seeking the connection Allah intended for spouses.
