Convert: Am I Selfish Not Wanting to Share My Husband With Another Wife? Feb 28, 2024

From the sister who asked the question after hearing my response: "I finally had the chance to listen to your response and all I have to say is thank you. On a personal note, I teared up listening because I was finally able to hear words of encouragement and have an advocate by my side. I am honestly honored to have made it onto your podcast and, above all, I hope this can help fellow sisters out there that unfortunately experience issues regarding the topics that were covered. With the lack of spiritual advice and one-sided content on the internet, being able to turn to you and recieve a response was such a great relief. I have muslim sisters around me daily but it was particularly hard to reach out to them and discuss a topic like this. Most of them know my husband and I wouldn't want his image to tarnish in that way. Thank you for being the voice of reason I didn't have." *** Do you have a relationship question?

Whenever there is high emotional stress there is a potential for it to spill over into marriage.
