Description

What really makes love last? And how do you find a partner when family, community, and faith are all part of the puzzle?

In this episode, Salma sits down with her older sister and mentor, Yasmin Elhady: comedian, lawyer, community leader, and one of the hosts of Hulu’s Muslim Matchmaker.

Yasmin has matched over 58 couples and shares her expertise on it all:

• The 3 things every relationship needs
• Why couples therapy doesn’t work without a foundation
• Being “relationship young” and learning through mistakes
• Why Yasmin insists Salma should never date a comedian (aka dating outside your lane)
• Small icks that don’t matter vs. real incompatibility
• How porn and swiping addictions wreck dopamine
• No more ghosting! And what to do instead
• Why you have to leave the house to meet people
• Yasmin’s rule: every married couple should introduce six single friends to each other

They also get real about heartbreak, celibacy, high standards, and why marriage isn’t the goal, God is.

Whether single, dating, or already married, Yasmin shares wisdom on how to build love rooted in integrity, faith, and joy.
