“After marriage, it is extremely important that the couple live with each other with love and affection. For love to exist, trust is essential. In the past, couples may have been poor, but they could trust and depend on each other. Nowadays, couples live in an atmosphere of distrust.

When love exists, you are able to tolerate any bad habits of your partner. In a hadith, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has said that love of something makes you blind and deaf, i.e. you do not notice or mind its negative points, or rather, they are cherished as positive points.

“People tend to only start making du’a for a good spouse once they decide it is time for them to get married.

Instead, unmarried people should be constantly making du’a for a good partner.”

by M.Yaseen Kaasim

“Muslims should make it a must to not only know the requirements and rulings of marriage, but also of divorce.

To have a successful marriage, you must know what things invalidate a marriage, in order to stay away from them.

Many people utter things in jest that actually invalidate their marriage, and thereafter the couple continue to live like a married couple not knowing what they have done!”

“A mother and father in law should value their son’s wife for she has undertaken great sacrifice.

This is because their daughter in law has left her home and family for the sake of their son.  

And after she gets married it is as if she is starting a whole new life.”

by Abu Abdullah Ibne Ismail

“A daughter in law should remember that one day she will also become a mother in law.

Thus if she becomes a headache for her in-laws then she will one day also face a similar fate.”

by Abu Abdullah Ibne Ismail

“It is mentioned in a hadeeth that a prostitute from the Banu Israeel was forgiven just because she gave a thirsty dog water to drink. 

Likewise it is narrated that a lady, who was very punctual in observing ritual acts of worship, will be thrown into the fire of hell because of maltreating her cat.   

If there is such emphasis on treating animals properly then how much care should one take when it comes to assisting other humans?

“When a lady gets married she should remember that her connection is not only with her husband but with the rest of her husband’s family also. 

Within her new family there will be all sorts of people with varying dispositions and temperaments.

Thus she should be tactful and try to deal with everyone accordingly. ”

by Abu Abdullah Ibne Ismail

“If an issue arises within the household, rather then immediately leaving the house in a fit of anger, one should try their utmost to resolve the issue within the home.  

Sisters who are married should, in particular, bear this point in mind.”
