Are you married to a person who has/have a child or children from a previous marriage? Are you in polygyny and you are trying to navigate your relationship with the child/children of your spouse? 

This could be a tricky part of relationship building and as crazy as it may sound, it depends on the maturity of the adults. Children take cues from their parents, whether it be good or bad and it takes proper communication, emotional maturity and the willingness to grow to make...

As we continue on this theme of BONDING through the month of August it's only fitting that Outstanding Personal Relationships speak on bonding with your spouse. I mean, we are marriage coaches and yes, that includes polygyny, so what type of marriage and polygyny coaches would we be if we did not train on how to bond with your spouse? We did a video as well as a blog on bonding with your co-wife if you just so happen to practice polygyny and you can check that out HERE.

Bonding with Your Co-wife

As co-wives, we decided to create a video addressing why, we as women need create a bond within ourselves and other women as well.

• What does bonding with “you” look like?
• Why is creating bonds with other women important, especially with your co-wife?  

In this video we give our take on being your “authentic self “with the understanding that we don’t have to be perfect, to be a work in progress. Only YOU can free yourself from, the...

Salaamu alaykum/Peace, 

The topic of polygyny is one that generates lots of emotion no matter what side of the fence you are on. The absolute most frequent question I get is, "why would a married man want to marry another wife?" I answer the question as best as I can in the video. 

There are many myths about why a man would want to marry again and there are just as many conspiracies. Fact is, men, like women, are not a monolith so there are a plethora of reasons. We understand...

In this post I will be coming to you with tips on how to have a naturally beautiful body. You know the motto, If we look good we feel good, we do good!

I’m going to break this down by giving you only 7 keys. Yes, only 7. Why? Because we do not need a lot of steps to look our best and let’s face it, we have enough to do in our lives, so making something as easy as looking good into something difficult is not appealing, hello!

Here are the 7 keys that we are going...

Salaam/Peace,

  In our recent YouTube video we had a discussion about, “Healing” and why beginning your journey towards healing is important. We personally love these topics, as we all have very different journeys in our individual lives and marriages therein.  Oftentimes we are asked questions about our journey towards healing. And I have to say, I learn something more about the challenges and triumphs of others and I celebrate their growth.

Rebellion, Race and Reality in 2020

It has been an ongoing saying in my family, “2020 is coming for our lives!” Never did we think that it would be what it has turned out to be. 2019 was pretty rough for us with my mother being shot in the neck by teenagers who were trying to steal a bike from her yard. We thought 2020 would be better. A year of vision. A path forward, and all of that other good stuff. In fact, my co-wife and I hosted a wonderful Muslimah Influencer’s Summit...

Salaam/Peace!

We have gotten so many questions as well as comments about polygyny from those who are in polygyny as well as those who have never understood why people would practice this ancient form of marriage that predates monogamy as well as Islam.  Yes, polygyny is not just for Muslims, and yes polygyny was practiced before monogamy became the standard. Islam just happened to regulate it where there are rules and restrictions when it comes to this marital union.

What is polygyny?...

    As I create this blog, I sit reflecting about the days when I couldn’t fathom having a “co-wife.” I unknowingly conditioned myself to be unwilling to accept the fact, that one day my husband may want to marry again. In believing that assumption, I set myself up to never need to communicate with another with another wife, nor facilitate or cultivate a relationship with one. To practice polygyny was a topic that I mentally filed under,” Do not...
