Sallamalik mrachfth all right.

Al-Lahr al-Ilemin, what's al-sala to

was al-sala al-a-sla al-a-sla al-main from the al-Ama al-Ama al-I'll al-I'll say

he a jibbāin from the Anadad. I'll call upon the al-Ailah ficitabihilhābāhādānākādālālāhādālāhādālāhādāwāhāmādāmāmāmāmāmāmāmāwāmāmāmāmāmāmāmāmāmām I have about 15 minutes to address all of you and this is a very critical subject and

there's so much that can be said about it and I'm really glad that Alta'a's presentation actually was very comprehensive and it touched upon a lot of things

that really need to be given a lot of discussion.

Actually, each one of his

chapters in the book of marriage and really should be taken very very seriously

all of those things can be mentioned very easily in a sentence or two but when it comes to

implementing them in our family lives it's actually a very heavy discussion.

And the few minutes I have with you, I have to be selective in what I think is pertinent and

you know what I think in chalow the al-a is.

And I'mana to share with all of you, I see these conference presentations not just as opportunities for rhetoric and takbir's at the end, but also as opportunities to share food for thought.

And I want to pretend for a few moments that I'm just talking to a family that I know.

Just one of you, just a family that I know, and there's a marriage that's about to happen in your family.

You're about to get your daughter married or you're about to get your son married. And I just want to share

some very relevant, I think relevant advice in regards to this matter. You know, marriage is all

about trust from the very beginning, and it's one thing that, unfortunately, I'm noticing more and more in the pre-marital process is missing.

The foundation of two families coming together, if it's not trust and transparency and openness,

there's going to be clearly problems after marriage.

You know, marriage has almost become like a very difficult sale.
