The old saying “time flies” always hits hardest around this time of the year. It feels as if the world has just gotten into the swing of summer and suddenly school is starting again. School is not only a place of learning for children but also a place for socializing and enjoyment.

A marriage and a possible divorce involve more people than just the two spouses. Divorce is a difficult time for the entire family.  It affects children, parents, and extended family.

Marriage is a sunnah among the other sunnahs of Allah, The Most Glorified, The Most High. A sunnah of creating and establishing family. While many Muslims enter a marriage with the right intention, it is a fact that no marriage is perfect and all couples experience friction.

Family is very important for the development of children. Stability and security provide an anchor for human growth and development.

Technology and youth seem destined for each other. They are both young, fast-paced, and ever-changing. In the last 20 years, there has been an explosion in new technology.

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”

My family is quite big, my husband and I have four older children as well as three younger ones, everyone always has a full schedule and we rarely have time to sit as a family, so vacations have been an important part of our family bonding time.
