Putting a Smile on Her Face: A Key to a Happy Marriage
PUT A SMILE ON HER FACE
The Prophet (ﷺ) urges men to enjoy women with their crookedness. When she is angry, he should be relaxed. When she gives a long face, he should meet her with a smiling face. Were he to treat her as she treats him, their dispute, disagreement, quarrel, and insult would last for a long time. They may not find someone who gives him a ruling that his divorce is ineffective, so problems will begin.
A rational man can easily put a smile on his wife’s face because any good word, especially from her husband, pleases her. Likewise, every bad word makes her angry.
