The goal of Wives of Jannah is to strengthen Muslim women and their marriages through Islamic based relationship coaching, programs, written work, and resources like this podcast. What guides me in my work are three words: mouda, rahmah, and sakinah- the three words used in the Qur'an to describe marriage in chapter 30: ayah 21 - those translate to love, mercy, and tranquility. Marriage is something you learn while in it which means none of us arrive in our relationships knowing exactly what to do. I hope this podcast can offer you some insight from my relationship coaching experience starting back in 2009. - Megan Wyatt

Convert: Am I Selfish Not Wanting to Share My Husband With Another Wife?
From the sister who asked the question after hearing my response:
"I finally had the chance to listen to your response and all I have to say is thank you. On a personal note, I teared up listening because I was finally able to hear words of encouragement and have an advocate by my side. I am honestly honored to have made it onto your podcast and, above all, I hope this can help fellow sisters out there that unfortunately experience issues regarding the topics that were covered. With the lack of spiritual advice and one-sided content on the internet, being able to turn to you and recieve a response was such a great relief. I have muslim sisters around me daily but it was particularly hard to reach out to them and discuss a topic like this. Most of them know my husband and I wouldn't want his image to tarnish in that way. Thank you for being the voice of reason I didn't have."

Palestine: Staying Spiritually Grounded & Protecting Your Marriage When Emotional Stress is Really High
Heartbreak. Devastation. Worry. Grief. Anger. The last month & a half has been a major emotional roller coaster as we've watched the ongoing genocide unfold in Gaza. This podcast's focus is how to protect your marriage from being shaken by unprocessed emotions, judgments towards how your spouse may process what's happening, and how to keep yourself spiritually and emotionally grounded. Whenever there is high emotional stress there is a potential for it to spill over into marriage. I hope this episode offers some ideas to support you both in marriage and in your spiritual and emotional well being as we continue to witness the such horrific crimes against humanity. The world needs us at our best. May Allah help us.

Customer Reviews
Underrated
Sister Megan does an amazing job tying modern issues to the Islamic tradition. Her calmness and light makes her such a gem to follow. May Allah make things easy on her and reward her for her impact!
I finally feel heard!!!!!
Alhamdulilah. This podcast has been absolutely amazing. I feel heard and understood. Everything she said is exactly what I’ve been feeling towards my husband. This podcast truly opened my eyes and my heart. It made me realize why I feel this way - why my husband and I are having the same reoccurring issues. Ive always thought that this issue is just in my marriage but when Megan mentioned it’s a VERY common issue amongst majority of marriages - I was relieved because I felt better knowing I’m not alone.
The major differences between the masculine VS. feminine is something that’s not discussed as often as it should be - it’s so interesting to me the differences between a male and female (and how majority of us women feel this way). It truly shows the biological makeup of women are universally alike, and the biological makeup of men are also universally alike. SubhanAllah.
I’ll be making my husband hear this too so he understands me better and sees things differently. Thank you Megan. I feel much better! Alhamdulilah.
The mentor I wish I had in my masjid
Megan’s approach is kind, gentle and fair. She has a way of validating while being firm with points that really resonates with me personally. My relationships have all become more authentic and I’ve learned to be more empowered in my life thanks to the lessons on her podcast, her Wives of Jannah library (I’ve done all the trainings) and I’m also a member in the onemeaningful life course. Highly recommend for lovers of personal development. Dip your toes in with this podcast, you won’t regret it. I recommend reading the titles of the episodes and choose one that applies to you.
