They will be addressing the topic of: Can Our Christian / Muslim Marriages handle the Truth of our Spouses in 2014? Facebook link to this show: facebook/events/1560001650886260 Abstract: Telling your spouse the truth isn’t always easy – but you don’t have to do this alone. If you need help improving the honesty in your relationship or addressing some of these bigger issues you and your spouse should listen into this very important and timely show. How important is the truth in your marriage? Doesnt your spouse deserve to know who they are married to? Is it fair to waste their time or to take away their right to decide how they want to respond to the tough issues that the marriage is bringing out? Should we ask questions of our spouse that we really don’t want truthful answers to? In this show we would like to open the phone lines to hear the wins that both Christian and Muslim couples are experiencing in their marriages all over America after following the guidance and wisdom that Student Minister Tony Muhammad has been sharing on our show from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan over the last four weeks!
