In Surah Ar-Rum (30:21) Allah says He placed "mawaddah and rahmah" — love and mercy — between husband and wife. But daily pressure, misunderstandings and interference from others can weaken this bond.
Practical advice
- Set aside a little time every day just to talk to each other
- Instead of replying in anger, stay quiet and talk calmly later
- Say thank you for the small things
- Respect each other's families, and keep private matters inside the home
- Pray and make dua together
A Quranic dua
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama.
Our Lord, grant us from our spouses and children the coolness of our eyes, and make us leaders of the righteous. (Surah Al-Furqan 25:74)
When the problem grows
If arguments grow and talk of divorce begins, involve wise elders of the family. For guidance, share your full situation in confidence — and don't make any decision in haste.
Results of prayers, practices and guidance depend on each person's circumstances; no specific outcome or timeframe is promised. For health problems, always consult a doctor.
