About Good Beginnings

If you are planning to marry or are in the first few years of a relationship, Good Beginnings can provide you with essential knowledge and life skills needed for a fulfilling long-term relationship. Marriage is a sacred union in Islam and the Good Beginnings course aims to help couples improve relationship skills according to the Prophetic model of marriage of compassion, love and connection. I’m very pleased to be one of the first Marriage Mentors trained to facilitate this unique course created by Benevolence Australia in collaboration with the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre. It is always enjoyable and a privilege to assist couples to deepen their personal and spiritual connections.
