Observing Your Wife’s Beautiful Manners
In every marriage, there may be moments of frustration. But a just and grateful heart does not allow one or two shortcomings to eclipse the many beautiful qualities Allaah has placed in one’s spouse.
Before dwelling on what irritates you, pause and reflect: her patience, loyalty, care, sacrifices, kindness, and the countless ways she brings goodness into your home. Often, what is good is far greater than what is difficult.
Ibn Sa‘dee رحمه الله reminds us that focusing only on faults is a form of injustice. Strong companionship is nurtured when we recognise goodness, overlook minor mistakes, and choose gratitude over constant criticism.
Do not let a small flaw make you blind to a great blessing.
May Allaah place mercy, fairness, appreciation, and tranquillity in our marriages. Aameen.
