Across the Muslim world and its diaspora, thousands are coming to Christ – often at great personal cost. But amidst the joy of new faith lies a hidden struggle: How do Believers of Muslim Backgrounds – or BMBs – build strong marriages in the midst of cultural tension, persecution, and displacement?

This book was born from years of listening. Across 14 chapters and 12 regions – from Togo to Turkey, Iran to India – it brings together the voices of scholars, missionaries, and BMB leaders. Their stories are real. Their insights are hard-earned. And their message is clear: marriage matters deeply for the future of the BMB movement.

Whether it’s the fear of family rejection, the pain of spiritual disconnect within marriage, the trauma of custody loss, the inability to legally register a marriage, or the silence around women’s suffering – these pages offer a space to name the struggle, rediscover hope, and begin healing. It’s a guide for mentors and pastors – and a mirror for BMBs themselves, who will find their journeys reflected with honesty and compassion.
