Note: This is a guest post from my wife 
After my husband wrote the “10 Habits of Highly Effective Muslim Husbands,” he thought it would be interesting to add the other perspective.
So, I made a list of 10 habits that my husband has commented on over time that has produced positive changes in our relationship. He is right, the first year of marriage is really about adapting and compromise. We are shown our terrible habits (how did our parents put up with us?) and overtime you do fall into a groove.
But, don’t get too comfortable in your routine. Adding some spice and maintaining some good habits will make a very successful and enjoyable marriage. Some of these habits are similar to the “Muslim Husband Habits” but, some are just for us, girls.

There were good Islamic websites online. Two that I frequented a lot and still exist today are IslamOnline and Islamicity.
Why are they worth visiting? Let’s find out…

The goal of a video trailer is to entice us into watching the documentary or movie it is promoting. It could also advertise a program or conference we plan on attending.
I always enjoy watching these previews of documentaries or movies that are Islam related. Its exciting to see the different perspectives in our Muslim community and to also marvel at our glorious history.
I’ve found 5 different Muslim video trailers that I think you should watch. They all vary in content and style. Check them out and let me know what you think in the comments.

Web Forums have existed since very early on the Internet. Nowadays, they aren’t talked about as much as social media websites like Facebook and Myspace.
However, the communities around these forums aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Because of this, they will continue to be used by many and are still growing everyday.

Youtube has become the defacto standard for online video and is one of the top websites on the internet for traffic. Even though there are tons of great Muslim and Islamic Videos on there, there is also a lot of other videos that are not Islam related.
Alhamdullilah, there are Muslim Video alternatives to Youtube. If you want to browse specifically for Islamic Video content and not worry about other content, I will present to you 5 websites that will help.
Here they are:

Alhamdullilah, I have been married for almost three years now and I feel that Muslim Marriage is one of the most beautiful gifts that Allah has given to Muslims in this world.
However, Muslim Marriage doesn’t come easy right away. Actually, many husbands today have been spoiled by family or their environment or even society and media. This has caused us to lose our manliness and personal striving that our forefathers and great men in the history of Islam had.
Now, as a Muslim Husband in this generation, I know how important and necessary it is for every Muslim Husband to work hard at their marriage in order for this Ummah to be strong again. After all, without the Muslim Family foundation, all other foundations cannot be formed.
I’ve put together some habits as a personal reminder to myself first and hopefully it can benefit Muslim Husbands out there who want to create a blissful marriage. Some ideas presented are from what I’ve read and heard and some are from experience. Take what applies to you and act on it.
So, let’s start…
