Ramadan and Your Relationships

During Ramadan we are asked not only to give up food and drink, but to reflect and behave as better Muslims and better human beings. Yet being a patient, thoughtful, considerate, and caring person is often harder when one is hungry, thirsty, and exhausted.

Perhaps we can support each other in improving our relationships this month. Is there a relationship that you feel has gone bad that you will work this month to improve? Please share.

Re: Ramadan and Your Relationships

There is one person in my life who is always without fail extra irritable and mean during Ramadan, i try and see this as a test and i guess Ramadan is a good time to strive hard to pass the test by trying to be more patient as a person. Not sure if the relationship can be improved but certainly my reactions to this person can be. I look forward to the challenge lol.

Ooooh keep us posted :D

Do you see this person regularly during Ramadan?

Re: Ramadan and Your Relationships

I find that hubs and i can easily get irritated with each other around iftar time. We try to remember taht we are fasting and say our astaghfars real quick after that :D

Re: Ramadan and Your Relationships

Some relationships can't be improved on and can bring you more grief if you keep close ties. Maintaining a civil distance (not necessarily cutting ties) can sometimes bring more peace of mind. Depends on the relationship as well.

Re: Ramadan and Your Relationships

Yes, during Ramadan, keeping safe distance is advised.

Re: Ramadan and Your Relationships

My husband becomes extra nice during Ramadan, no shouting, no fighting. And I also feel that I'm more calmed and patient with kids.

Re: Ramadan and Your Relationships

i pray that allah gives me more patience with the kids and on top of that its the school holidays :smack:

Re: Ramadan and Your Relationships

My husband is in Georgia and I am in Michigan. We are seperated first time due to his job after shaadi and we are struggling with it since he isn't very chatty and I love to talk. I am hoping Ramadan will make me more patient and understanding with him.
