Men
Are From Marwa,
Women Are From Safa
Lisa
Killinger and Ako Abdul-Samad The popular book
"Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" is the inspiration
for this panel about gender relations and challenges within a
Muslim marriage. As the title suggests, it sometimes seems as
if men and women come from two different planets! After outlining
a few of the basic differences between genders, Lisa Killinger
looks at the common ground upon which men and women can build
a solid foundation for a successful marriage. What practical
things can we do to work through the differences and come to
a better understanding and appreciation of our spouses? What
are the core characteristics of an "Islamic" marriage?
And how are each other's rights and responsibilities a tool that
can be utilized in moving closer to harmony and happiness? Brother
Ako Abdul-Samad follows with the suggestion that our problems
actually begin before the wedding; that we don't prepare ourselves
correctly for the life-altering step of marriage. He emphasizes
the need to follow the instructions in the Holy Qur'an of building
solid relationships. He also looks at the problem of the breakdown
in communication between the sexes. Other topics discussed: the
virtue of sex within marriage, divorce as an outlet, talking
about sex, the need to mentor one another, same-sex marriage,
extended family as a support, and sexuality in the Islamic tradition.
