#2 - Strong Marriage, Better Parents (I): Kindness Develops Love & Affection
Assalaamualaikum & Greetings!
Welcome to Cool Mum Super Dad, your companion on this rollercoaster ride called parenthood. I'm your host, Jamilah Samian, a parenting author and speaker.
Your marriage shapes your parenting experience. Children in happy, stable marriages feel more secure, perform better in school and have less disciplinary issues. This is reason enough for us parents to pay attention to the state and quality of our marriage.
In this episode, I debunk the top 3 myths about love and marriage:
Myth No. 1: Love Is Too Much Of A Mystery. You Can’t Grow It
Myth No. 2: You Must Be Perfect To Be Loved And Happily Married
Myth No. 3: The Magic Of Love Never Lasts
You can still be deeply in love with your spouse no matter how long you have been married. Not the kind of love that revolves around convenience: you-do-some-work-and-I-do-some; you share the workload as roommates do. Rather, the kind of love where you and your spouse look forward to see and talk to each other every day.
The key to such an enduring marriage is KINDNESS. Discover how deliberate and constant acts of kindness can grow love between you and your spouse, to create a more stable home for you to raise your children. With deliberate and constant acts of kindness, growing love is no longer a mystery but rather, an emotion, a feeling and commitment that will naturally develop over time.
Whatever good is in this work is from Allah; any shortcomings are mine alone.
