The session was delivered by Dr. Muhannad Istitieh, Dean of the Faculty of Sharia at Hebron University.
The second session, entitled “Let’s Start It Right,” explored psychological and intellectual differences, self-awareness and understanding one’s partner, approaches to agreement and disagreement, and healthy boundaries within the marital relationship.
