Re: Marital Issues
I don't know, I suddenly grew alot closer to my mom after I got married, and I think the distance did alot for our relationship. If I had issues I wouldn't go to my sister, only because I know she would be judgemental and take my side instead of playing devil's advocate and she could possibly see my husband in a different light/ respect wouldn't be there as much. And I wouldn't want her to think of him as the one who is giving her sister problems and she might treat him differently.
However, I go to my mom to vent and I thank Allah I have someone like her, because my mom totally laffs it off, diffuses the situation and says haha.. yes this happened to me and your dad also etc stuff like that. She doesn't egg it on, or say "ooh thats bad" etc which would further ignite my anger. And Alhamodillah, whenever she sees him she treats him even better and better. I've also turned to my really close friend (whose not married) who has been thru the pre-wedding and during the wedding stuff and she listens and laffs and gives me instances that brings out the good in the marriage.
