guys i need tips on how to keep the husband happy…or what would exactly you will look for in a wife/or future wife when u come home from stress and work…
or how should husband and wife spend weekend together
When I first read this, my initial response was, if you are coming home from work all stressed out, what is your husband doing to make YOU happy? Anyway, I think it is a give and take scenario; both husband and wife should be making efforts to ease each others troubles and comfort one another when they are together. I would suggest a nice massage or a good old cuddling session. ;) Actually, both parties should just be there for one another ... listen to each other .... help out in household chores so that the responsibility isn't only on one of the two ... I dunno! :D
How to Make your Husband Happy
- Beautiful Reception. After returning from work, school, travel, or whatever has separated you, begin with a good greeting
Meet him with a cheerful face.
Beautify and perfume yourself
Start with good news and delay any bad news until he has rested
Receive him with loving and yearning sentences
Make hard efforts for excellence of the food & having it ready on time.
- Beautify and Soften the Voice
For your husband only, it shouldn’t be used in front of non-mahram men (men who can marry you if you were unmarried)
- Smelling Good and Physical Beautification
Taking good care of your body and fitness
Put on nice and attractive clothes and perfumes
Bath regularly and, after the monthly period, remove any blood traces or bad smells
Avoid that your husband observes you in dirty clothes or rough shape
Avoid prohibited types of ornamentation, e.g. tatoo
Use the types of perfumes, colors, and clothes that the husband likes
Change hair style, perfumes, etc. from time to time
However with these things you should avoid excessiveness and, of course, only act as such in front of mahrem men and women.
- Intercourse
Hasten for intercourse when your husband feels compulsion for it.
Keep your body clean and smelling good as possible including cleaning yourself of released fluids during intercourse.
Exchange loving phrases with your husband.
Leave your husband to fully satisfy his desire.
Choose suitable times and good occasions for exciting your husband, and encouraging him to do intercourse, e.g. after returning from a travel, weekends, etc.
- Satisfaction With What Allah (SWT) Has Allotted
You shouldn’t be depressed because your husband is poor or works in a simple job.
You should look at poor, sick, and handicapped people and remember Allah (SWT) for all that was given to you
You should remember that real wealth lays in Iman and piety.
- Indifference to Worldly Things
You should not consider this world as your hope and interest
You should not ask your husband for many unnecessary things
Asceticism does not mean not to enjoy what is good and permissible (Halal), but it means that one should look forward to the hereafter and utilize whatever Allah SWT gave them to achieve paradise (Jannah).
Encourage your husband to reduce expenses and save some money in order to give charity and feed poor and needy people.
- Appreciation
By the saying of the prophet, the majority of people in hell were women because they were ungrateful and deny the good done to them.
The result of being grateful is that your husband will love you more and will do his best to please you in more ways
The result of being ungrateful is that your husband will be dissappointed and will start asking himself: Why should I do good to her, if she never appreciates?
- Devotion and Loyalty
In particular in times of calamities in your husband’s body or business, e.g. an accident or a bankruptcy
Supporting him through your own work, money, and properties if needed.
- Compliance to Him
In all what he commands you, unless it is prohibited (Haram).
In Islam, the husband is the leader of the family, and the wife is his support and consultant
- Pleasing Him If He Is Angry
First off, try to avoid what will guarantee his anger.
But if it happens that you can’t, then try to appease him as follows:
1- If you mistaken, then apologize
2- If he mistaken then:
Keep still instead of arguing or
Yield you were right or
Wait until he is no longer angry and discuss the matter peacefully with him.
3- If he was angry because of external reasons then:
Keeping silent untill his anger goes
Find execuses for him, e.g. tired, problems at work, some one insulted him
Do not ask many questions and insist on knowing what happened, e.g.
- You should tell me what happened?
- I must know what made you so angry.
- You are hidding something, and I have the right to know
- Guardianship While He is Absent
Protecting yourself from any prohibited relations
Keep the secrets of the family, particularly intercourse and things that the husbands don’t like other people to know
Take care of the house and children
Take care of his money and properties
Do not go out of your house without his permission and put on full hijab
Refuse people whom he does not like to come over
Do not allow any non-mahram man to be alone with you in any place
Be good with his parents and relatives in his absence
- Showing Respect for his Family and Friends
You should welcome his guests and try to please them, especially his parents
You should avoid problems as much as you can with his relatives
You should avoid putting him is a position where he had to choose between his mother and his wife
Show good hospitality for his guests by arranging a nice place for them to sit in, perfection of food, welcoming their wives, etc.
Encourage him to visit his relatives and invite them to your home.
Phone his parents and sisters, send letters to them, buy gifts for them, support them in calamities, etc.
- Admirable Jealousy
Jealousy is a sign for wife’s love for her husband but it should be kept within the limits of Islam, e.g. not insulating or backbiting others, disrespecting them, etc.
You should not follow or create unfounded doubts.
- Patience and Emotional Support
Be patient when you face poverty and strained circumstances.
When you face calamities and disasters that may happen to you, your husband, your children, relatives or properties, e.g. diseases, accidents, death, etc.
When facing hardships in Da’wah (imprisonment, getting fired, arrested, etc.), be patient and encourage him to keep on the path of Allah and remind him of paradise.
When he mistreats you, counteract his ill-treatment by good treatment
- Support in Obedience to Allah, Da’wah and Jihad
Cooperate with your husband and remind him of different obligatory and voluntary worships.* Encourage him to pray at night.
Listen and reciting the Qur’an individually and with your husband.
Listen to Islamic tapes and songs individually and with your husband.
Remember Allah SWT much, particularly after Fajr and before Maghrib.
Share in arranging Da’wah activities for women and children.
Learn Islamic rules (ahkam) and good manners ('adab) for women.
Support your husband’s activities by encouraging him, offering wise opinions, soothing his pains, etc.
Yielding some of your rights and a part of your time with your husband for Da’wah.
Encourage him to go for Jihad when needed and remind him that you and children will be in the preservation of Allah SWT.
- Good Housekeeping
Keep it clean, decorated and well arranged.
Change house arrangements from time to time to avoid boredom.
Perfect of food and prepare healthy foods.
Learn all the necessary skills for managing the house, e.g. sewing.
Learn how to raise children properly and in an Islamic way.
- Preservation of Finances and the Family
Do not spend from his money, even for charity without his permission unless you are sure that he agrees on this.
Protect his house, car, etc. while he is absent.
Keep the children in good shape, clean clothes, etc. Take care of their nutrition, health, education, manners, etc. Teach them Islam and tell them the stories of the Prophets and companions.
So, is there a similar list of what the husband can do for his wife??
I have to say, #4 had me laughing! :D
The entire list makes everything sound so simple and easy.
Athari Mian itna lambi chauri taqreer karnay kee kia zuroorat hai. All you want the wife to say is "Sartaj khaana bhi pakka hoowa hai aur bistar bhi tayyar...pehlay kia pasand fermaayay gaa?" Baat khatam.
....
nice read :-)
God bless you with a good husband sweetie..there are some ladies who do their best to follow the above mentioned set of rules..but they have idiots who never appreciate it...
Just do your best to keep your sanity..after all.. living with a man 24-7 is bound to damage a couple of brain cells.
BTRW I wish you'd tell number 4 to teh married men out there..they some how expect us to be turned on coz they're turned on...and when we're turned on thy're busy watching baywatch.
Achi baatein - nice guidlines
…but what if wife is like: Loner & Shy type - she can’t communicate well with hubby, low confidence, doesn’t feel good about herself…phir kya karegi?
If there’s any Good Advice, plz plz share …Shukriya!
Arrange a second marrage for him, that way, his “happiness” is no longer your problem and he doesn’t even need to talk to you, leaving you free for more pressing matters, like cooking.
Either that or you and your new sawtan can share the husbands well being between you.
After all, we are all well aware that men like pets can not be held responsible for their own entertainment or emotions.
Honestly
