We have just completed the Good Beginnings premarital course with the beautiful Sister Saara as a marriage coach, and we’re so grateful for the journey. The sessions really gave us the space to reflect on our relationship, understand each other on a deeper level, and prepare ourselves with the tools we need for marriage. We especially valued the way Saara guided our conversations with so much warmth and wisdom, making it easy for us to open up and grow together. Saara did an incredible job at intertwining our faith as muslims into our behaviours and habits in our forthcoming marriage, and it was insightful to understand that faith plays a major part in our roles as husband and wife. As we look ahead to our Katb Al-Kitab in a couple of months, we feel so much more grounded and connected thanks to Saara’s support and the Good Beginnings program.

Jazakumullahu khairan for all your help, I've learnt so many tools to navigate married life and a lot about myself. I couldn't be happier with the progress we've made. Thank you so much!!!

My fiancé and I took Saara’s premarital course, and I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but it completely surpassed my expectations. The coursework was informative, practical and dynamic. It helped me understand my own patterns and how they show up in our relationship, and it encouraged real self-reflection rather than surface level conversations. 

Our communication has improved significantly, and we learned so much about each other and ourselves. Saara creates an environment where even difficult conversations feel safe, intentional and productive. I especially loved the constant emphasis on the prophetic model of marriage, because who better to learn from than the greatest example known to mankind?

You don’t need to be struggling to benefit from this course. It strengthened our relationship and gave us tools we’ll continue to use long after the course. As my fiancé put it, “The best way to start a marriage is to work on it even before it begins,” and this course truly proved that to be true. He felt so strongly about the experience that he now encourages other men to seriously consider premarital counselling.
