I have however edited a few things and added picture I saw fit. Happy reading :)
Most men have a hard time understanding women. Even a woman they’ve been married to for years. One minute she’s perfectly fine, the next, she’s crying like a baby. She complains about something but when we offer advice on how to fix it, she still isn’t satisfied. After several years of marriage (and counseling) I’ve learned to not worry so much about what my wife says. Instead, I should worry about what she doesn’t say.
1. Above all, She Wants Your love
When a wife shows her husband less respect, he in turn shows her less love.
And when a husband shows his wife less love, she in turn shows him less respect.
And the vicious cycle repeats itself.
Stop this prophecy before it becomes self-fulfilling. Show love to your wife.
That’s what she wants. Love her despite her flaws and quirks.
2. She’s Bored
It’s the same thing every day.
Week in and week out.
Not only is she bored but she’s also tired.
She has to care for the kids and run the household and then pamper you.
Just thinking about doing
that every day makes me want to crawl under my covers and hide. I can
imagine how the average Muslim housewife must feel.
And let’s not forget about working woman. Many Muslim women have to work a full time job as well as hold a house down.
So brothers, I implore you, make your wife feel special. Give her a break.
Take her out sometimes. Surprise her with a surprise meal. Bring her favorite dessert home.
Just do something every now and then to break the monotony.
Also I'd suggest you take a day out every week and explore your beautiful city. (There are so many hidden treasures)
3. She Wants to be ComplimentedAlso I'd suggest you take a day out every week and explore your beautiful city. (There are so many hidden treasures)
Appreciation. Everybody
wants it. No one wants to feel as if the hard work they do goes
unnoticed or even worse, it taken for granted.
Your wife does not have to
clean your dirty clothes. And she does not have to cook your meals. But
she does. And she does that on top of all the other things in her life:
- Caring for the kids.
- Working or going to school.
- Striving to be a better Muslimah.
Show your Muslim wife that
you appreciate and are thankful for the things she does to maintain you
and your family. A simple “thank you” is a good start.
4. She’s Insanely Jealous
There’s a reason most women
don’t care for polygamy. Be very careful how you talk about other women
around your wife. Don’t ever compare your wife to another woman.
- Don’t compare her to some female movie star.
- Don’t compare her to your mother.
- Never, ever compare her to your ex-wife (or other wife!)
She’s wants to know and believe that she is the center of your universe. So make her feel that way.
Even the Prophet’s (pbuh) wives got jealous. Aisha (RA) even got jealous of Khadijah (RA) who was dead.
5. She Wants You to Help Her become A Better Muslimah
I can’t stress enough the importance of men taking the role of leader within their families.
And that’s the problem with a lot of Muslim men these days.
Not only are they not being good leaders, they’re being led by their wives (or mothers, or other women in their lives).
Your wife desires and wants
you to be her leader. And what better way to lead her than to be show
her how to be a better Muslimah?
But you can’t show her how
to become better if you’re not that great either. Therefore, you have to
upgrade your Iman(faith). You have to improve yourself and then pass it on to
her in a gentle, respectful way.
6. She Doesn’t Like to Nag, But Sometimes You Make It Hard
It’s a common myth that women like to nag their husbands. That’s not entirely true.
Yes, there are some people
(men and women) whom you can never please. No matter what you do,
they’ll always find fault in something.
So, yes sisters should be careful about denegrating the things your husband does for you.
But very often, you brother, make it hard for her to hold your tongue.
Perhaps you’re always finding fault with her and she looks for things in your character to get even.
Perhaps you’re not working (or not working hard enough) and she has to work to take up some slack.
Perhaps you’re just not that great of a guy.
7. More Than Anything, She Wants a Stable, Happy Relationship With You
Women don’t get married just because they think it’s gonna be fun.
They get married because they want a happy family life and they believe you’re gonna give it to them.
Outside of her religious
duties, that’s the most important thing in a Muslim woman’s life.
Raising a happy, stable, Muslim family.
The funny thing is, it’s very easy for you to give that to her.
- Stop acting like a jerk. Be a good husband to her. Be kind. Show her you love her.
- Don’t threaten her with divorce or taking a second wife. Yes, you have the right to do both. But using them as threats is inappropriate and detrimental to your marriage.
- Trust in Allah, watch out for the tricks of Shaytan(The devil), and be patient with her. There’s nothing Shaytan would love more than to destroy your marriage.
See? That isn’t all that hard, now is it?
Wishing you all so much love and happiness.
