Kind Treatment of Wives
God instructs men to be nice
to their wives and to treat
them well to the best of their
ability:
And live with them in
kindness (Quran 4:19)
The Messenger of God said,
The most perfect of believers
in belief is the best of them in
character. The best of you are
those who are the best to their
women.[1] The Prophet of
Mercy tells us that a husbands
treatment of his wife reflects a
Muslims good character, which
in turn is a reflection of the
mans faith. How can a Muslim
husband be good to his wife?
He should smile, not hurt her
emotionally, remove anything
that will harm her, treat her
gently, and be patient with
her.
Being nice includes good
communication. A husband
should be willing to open up,
and be willing to listen to his
wife. Many times a husband
wants to air his frustrations
(like work). He should not
forget to ask her about what
annoys her (like when children
would not do their homework).
A husband should not talk
about important things with
her when he or his wife is
angry, tired, or hungry.
Communication, compromise,
and consideration are the
cornerstone of marriage.
Being nice includes
encouraging ones wife. The
most meaningful admiration
comes from a sincere heart
that notices what really
matters what the wife really
values. So a husband should
ask himself what she feels
most insecure about and
discover what she values. That
is the wifes sweet spot of
praise. The more the husband
compliments it, the more the
wife will admire it, the more on
target this healthy habit will
be. Kind words are like, I like
the way you think, You look
beautiful in those clothes, and
I love hearing your voice on
the phone.
Human beings are imperfect.
The Messenger of God said, A
believing man should not hate
a believing woman. If he
dislikes something in her
character, he should be
pleased with some other trait
of hers.[2] A man should not
hate his wife because if he
dislikes something in her, he
will find something he likes
about her if he gives it a
chance. One way to be aware
of what he likes in his wife is
for the husband to make a list
of a half dozen things he
appreciates about her.
Marriage experts recommend
that one be as specific as
possible and focus on
character traits just as the
Prophet of Islam
recommended, not just what
she does for the husband. For
example, a husband may
appreciate the way she
arranges his clean laundry, but
the underlying character trait
may be that she is thoughtful.
The husband should consider
admirable traits such as being
compassionate, generous,
kind, devout, creative, elegant,
honest, affectionate, energetic,
gentle, optimistic, committed,
faithful, confident, cheerful,
and so on. A husband should
give himself some time to
construct this list, and review it
in times of conflict when he is
most likely to feel averse
towards his wife. It will help
him be more aware of his
wifes good attributes and far
more likely to compliment
them.
A companion asked the
Prophet of God what is the
right of a wife over her
husband? He said, That you
feed her when you eat and
clothe her when you clothe
yourself and do not strike her
face. Do not malign her and do
not keep apart from her,
except in the house.[3]
Conflict in marriage is virtually
inevitable and it leads to lot of
anger. Although anger is one
of the most difficult emotions
to manage, the first step
toward controlling it can be
learning how to forgive those
who hurt us. In case of
conflict, a husband should not
stop talking to his wife and
emotionally hurt her, but he
may stop sleeping in the same
bed if it will improve the
situation. Under no
circumstance, even when he is
angry or somehow feels
justified, is a husband allowed
to malign her by using hurtful
words or cause her any injury.
