Do not allow others to interfere, impose or dictate how you will relate with your spouse in your own marriage.
LEARN TO HAVE Common Interests
Try as much as you can as a couple, to share common interests. This has transformed our relationship beyond words.
DEVELOP A Code of conduct FOR YOUR MARRIAGE

The Grass is not always Greener so Nurture yours with Love
The Grass is not always Greener so Nurture yours with Love.
Sometimes we look at what others have and wish we had the same.
Be careful comparing your spouse or your relationship to that of your friends, parents and others. Every marriage is different and unique.
Parenting & family
BE CAUSCIOUS & DELIBERATE PARENTS
Have children when you know you are going to be conscious, deliberate and present in their lives. This applies to both parents. Our children didn't ask to be born and kids are not experiments.
WHY HAVE CHILDREN?
Can't spend enough time talking about the importance of being intentional, deliberate and active parents.
MARRIAGE GEMS
Never fight in front of your children.
Building a Beautiful Muslim Home
Salams. I am sharing a video from the 2018 1Ummah Convention held in Lagos, Nigeria. I met the most amazing people. Very hospitable, warm and friendly. My topic was "Building a Beautiful Muslim Home".
I pray you find it to be of benefit.
Interview with my son, Nurain Takuma
I had one of the most fun interviews ever. It was so strange being interviewed by my own son😃🤣. We had a blast. He asked some questions his followers wanted him to ask and also some he wanted to know. It was looooooong. Hope you enjoy it too. Nurain creates motivational videos and tells inspirational stories.

Maryam Lemu - Fulfill all your spouse's needs
I gave a talk in December on marriage. in this clip I talk about the things I had to do to fulfill my husband's needs to ensure we have more in common. Make sure your spouse's favourite recreations involve you.
Look ATTRACTIVE FOR ONE AONOTHER
We have developed a culture of always staying clean and fresh for one another. Even on lazy Sundays. We wear casual clothes, however, we are well-groomed and we smell good for one another.
It's all in the details
My mum always said.
You both have to develop a culture of doing small, sweet things for one another.
Sexual frustration
We have to always ensure that we fulfil all our spouse's needs, wants and fantasies. Sexual frustration is destroying many marriages today and leading some spouse's to get off the straight path.
