Ladies, let’s be real. You entered marriage dreaming of moonlit walks, breakfast in bed, and a husband who reads your mind. But reality? More like forgotten anniversaries, mismatched socks, and “What’s for dinner?” on repeat.
Don’t worry! The Holy Quran holds the ultimate blueprint for a love that not only survives but THRIVES. So, if you want a marriage that lasts longer than your bestie’s latest diet, keep reading,because you don’t want to miss this!
1. Master the Art of Sabr (Patience), or Prepare for Chaos
Allah says in the Quran: “Indeed, Allah is with those who are patient.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:153)
Translation? When he leaves wet towels on the bed (again), take a deep breath. Sabr isn’t just about tolerating; it’s about finding peace amidst the madness. Because the moment you explode, guess what? He’ll suddenly remember a VERY important task outside the house.
2. Respect = Love (No, Really, It Works!)
“And they (women) have rights similar to those (of men) over them in kindness.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:228)
Men crave respect like we crave compliments. You want him to treat you like a queen? Make him feel like a king. Even when he’s asking where his keys are,for the hundredth time.
3. Shukr (Gratitude): The Secret Love Potion
The Prophet (SAW) said: “The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others.” (Tirmidhi)
Imagine this,your husband helps with the dishes. Do you: A) Say, “Finally!” or B) Flash your best smile and say, “JazakAllah, love. You’re the best!”
If you picked A, let’s work on that gratitude! The more you appreciate him, the more he’ll do. Try it,works like magic.
4. Forgive Faster Than He Can Say ‘I Forgot’
“And let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you?” (Surah An-Nur 24:22)
Holding onto grudges is like carrying a 50kg suitcase,exhausting and pointless. Your husband will mess up. A lot. (Shocking, right?) But when you let go of the little things, you make room for more love. And fewer silent treatments.
5. Communicate Like the Prophet (SAW), Not a Netflix Drama Queen
The Prophet (SAW) was the BEST at communication. He listened, he spoke with kindness, and he never used the silent treatment.
So instead of dropping hints (which he’ll never get), try: “I’d love it if we spent more time together. How about a walk after dinner?” “Wow. Guess some people don’t care about quality time.”
Which one do you think works better?
6. Intimacy is Sunnah, Not a Chore!
“They are clothing for you, and you are clothing for them.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:187)
Marriage is about more than just household duties,it’s about companionship, connection, and yes, physical affection. When you prioritize intimacy (and no, not just the “big” stuff,hugs, kind words, and a loving touch count too), you build a bond that lasts through every trial.
7. Dua: The Ultimate Love Insurance
“And those who say, ‘Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.’” (Surah Al-Furqan 25:74)
If you’re not making dua for your marriage, girl, what are you even doing? Love isn’t just built,it’s protected by Allah. So, raise your hands and ask for a marriage that lasts longer than those celebrity relationships we all know (and gossip about).
