what is the responsibility of the husband in a marriage?

Dear friends,

In Topic 4 of Chemical Bonding short article series, the relationship with the spouses, we will start with addressing some of the duties of the husband towards his wife to have a healthy relationship full of happiness and love. 

Marriage is a tight pact between spouses, and they must preserve this charter and assume responsibility from both parties until the marriage project reaches the highest degree of success.

The husband has duties towards his wife and, the wife has responsibilities towards her husband, to achieve happiness and success in the marriage. They must understand, consult and make decisions that help them have a better future and a better life.

Respect is the basis of the marital relationship; there is no marital relationship without respect. The husband should respect the feelings of his wife, her family, her opinions and ideas. This will make his wife feel that he cares about her and consults with her for all matters.

A woman goes through hormonal changes every month and; her mood changes. Try to be nice to her and help her more during that period. How you deal with your wife should always be with affection, moral and attentiveness to her. Be a friend to her. The woman needs someone whom she can talk to so you are her only support for life.

Most women love surprises, so please try to surprise your wife with something she loves because this is what increases the love between you.

A real man should never compare his wife with the wife of another man and must maintain the privacy of the marital relationship without the need of mentioning other people. If there is something wrong, work on it to fix it.

A husband should take care of his wife by providing for her and the household because Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised us to treat women well.

Abdullah ibn Amr reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said
“The best of you are the best to their women.”
[ Ibn Mājah 1978]

Dear friends, we have given a glimpse into some of the duties of the husband towards his wife. Please value your wife and may this article be a way of light for every married couple and for those who are about to marry or thinking of marriage.
