159: How and Where to Find a Spouse That’s Right for You in 2026 w. Naima Robert

Finding a spouse today feels harder than ever.

Work, eat, sleep, repeat. Remote jobs. Isolated lifestyles. Endless standards. Fewer real connections. So how are Muslims supposed to meet someone in 2026?

In this episode, we’re joined again by Sister Naima Robert, award-winning author, coach, and best known for From My Sister’s Lips, Show Up, and She Wore Red Trainers, for an honest, grounded conversation about love, marriage, confidence, and compatibility in the modern world.

We talk about what’s actually preventing people from finding a partner today, and what needs to change personally, culturally, and communally.
