- JEDDAH: The Mawadah (Cordiality) Social Center for Reforms and Family Guidance has organized a special training session for a Pakistani expatriate on marriage skills and the duties of husband and wife, the center announced Wednesday.
It said the Pakistani national, who was about to get married, wrote to the center requesting training on all aspects of married life.
"We accepted his application and, as he did not speak Arabic, we had to seek the help of his eldest brother for interpretation," said secretary-general of the center, Zuhair bin Abdul Rahman Nasser. He said the one-man-training session focused on the techniques of dealing with a wife. Nasser said the trainee was given a certificate at the end of the session and expressed willingness of the center to organize such training session for individuals or groups.
The secretary-general said a study conducted by the center proved that divorce rates among those who were trained on marriage skills were low compared to others who did not receive any family training.
