Usually, they don't know how to communicate with

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

each other.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

In fact, I've seen people who don't like

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

each other, who get communicate effectively, and they

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

stay together

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

because communication leads to security.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

And I've seen people who like each other,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

but they don't know how to communicate, and

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

their marriage puzzle parts are interested.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

It's very important to communicate,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

to push in. And sometimes when we parent,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

we have to be very careful. I know

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

for those of us who became Muslim, we're

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

protective parents.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

We feel we have to protect.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

You know, I'm the old Muslim in my

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

family. I have to go hard on the

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

paint. You know, I have to put pressure.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

But what happens is we undermine

00:00:41 --> 00:00:41

our

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

young adults ability

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

to have the necessary,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

if you will, bravery

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

to formulate their own ideas and questions and

00:00:55 --> 00:00:55

communicate

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

that allows them to become normal adults.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

That's why sometimes they have the marriage crisis

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

in the world. We didn't teach young people

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

how to communicate their emotions. We just told

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

them it's it's it's a shame that you

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

talk to me. It's disrespect that you talk

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

No. No. No.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

Let them disrespect you so they don't disrespect

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

others. At least they learn this is not

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

appropriate behavior. And you teach them and you

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

guide them and you talk to them. You

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

help them regulate their emotions.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

So what I'm telling you is important, not

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

just in the sense of how we engage

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

religion in 2,024,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

but how we engage each other.
