CHAPTER 7
Relationship with the Husband
A good wife is one of best treasures in life, yet at the same time to be a good wife is not always that
easy.
What kind of foundation is your relationship based on? If you cannot think of any, then develop
respect and communication if it is not there. Respecting each other and communicating with each
other will go a long way to a successful relationship. A good relationship tip to consider is
compromise. Yes! Compromise can go a long way in deepening the relationship. How much
compromise do you show to your husband? It makes sense to give and take so you’ll both feel valued
needed in the relationship.
Although it’s true that actions speak louder than words, words often speak more clearly than actions.
Take a moment every now and then to verbalize your feelings for your husband. A simple “I love you”
or “You mean the world to me” can go a long way towards making your husband feel wanted, cared
for, and secure in your relationship. Also small acts of physical intimacy can give your husband a warm
feeling and convey the love and affection you feel for him.
Don’t keep your likes and dislikes, dreams and fears, achievements and mistakes, or anything else to
yourself. If it’s important to you, share it with your husband similarly be supportive when your
husband faces life’s little challenges, too – an argument at work, a rough commute, a misplaced
check. Listen to what’s bothering him and offer whatever help – even if it’s just sympathy – you can.
Make Dua to Allah to make your marriage and relationship successful.
All good things are from Allah. Never forget to ask Allah subhanahu wata’ala for the blessing of having
a successful marriage that begins in this Dunya and continues on - by the Mercy of Allah ta’ala - into
Jannah.
Be thankful to him
Ibn Abbas radiallahu anhu reported that Messenger of Allah Sallallahu alaihe wasallam said: “O
Women, give charity, for I have surely seen that you from the majority of the inhabitants of Hell.”
