Love her, not until death do you part but even after
death rejoin with her in Jannah:)
Happiness in marriage cannot be taken for granted;
continuous happiness requires constant giving from
both sides. For the tree of marital love to remain
alive and keep growing, the soil has to be
sustained, maintained, watered and nurtured.
Remember that our Prophet Muhammad Salallaahu
'aliahi wa'sallaam had found the time to go out to
the desert and race with his wife Aisha. She out
ran him but later after she had gained some weight,
he out ran her.
Remember that the Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi
wa'sallaam took his wife to watch the young
Ethiopians playing and dancing their folk dances.
The show of emotions is necessary to keep the
marital bond away from rusting and disintegrating.
Remember that you will be rewarded by Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala for any emotions you show
to your wife as the Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi
wa'sallaam said "one would be rewarded for
anything that he does seeking the pleasure of Allah
even the food that he puts in the mouth of his
wife."
Never underestimate the importance of seemingly
little things as putting food in your wife's mouth,
opening the car's door for her, etc. Remember that
the Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam used to
extend his knee to his wife to assist her up to ride
the camel.
Try to always find some time for both of you to
pray together. Strengthening the bond between you
and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is the best
guarantee that your own marital bond would
always remain strong. Having peace with Allah
Subhanahu wa Ta'ala will always result in having
more peace at home.
Remember that the Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi
wa'sallaam gave glad tidings for those couples
who wake up at night to pray together. The
Prophet Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam even urged
the spouse who rises up first to wake the other
spouse up even by throwing cold water on his/her
face.
Always try your best to be good to your wife by
words and by deeds. Talk to her, smile to her, seek
her advice, ask for her opinion, spend quality time
with her and always remember that the Prophet
Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam said "the best of you
are those who are best to their wives."
The best example in this regard is the Prophet
Salallaahu 'aliahi wa'sallaam whose love for
Khadija, his wife of 25 years extended to include all
those she loved and continued even after her
death. It was many years after her death and he
never forgot her and whenever a goat was
slaughtered in his house he would send portions of
it to Khadija's family and friends and whenever he
felt that the visitor at the door might be Khadija's
sister Hala, he would pray saying "O Allah let it be
Hala."
