Should you interfere?

Sitaution: A family member is going through marriage problems. Both the guy and girl don’t communicate and are always fighting and bickering over issues like having children, relationship with the guy’s family.

This has been going on for over 6 months and both are really unhappy! Both have mentioned divorce.

Should either side of the family interfere and talk to them and help them resolve issues or are they old enough to make their own mistakes and work out their own problems?

Re: Should you interfere?

Now you should definately try and sort it out. At times people just dont realise what the real problem is and the solution could be right in front of them but they cant see it. You could be that person who can help them find the solution.

This couple need to involve a third person who is neutral to both families and who this couple respect a lot. That way they both will listen to the person and follow his advice.

You also need to see that this person had a gud married life, only then he can give a gud advice….. there is always a middle ground….. all they need to do is find a middle group….

Re: Should you interfere?

Yes , that is what the family and friends are for. Many a times intervention is needed to sort the things out.

Re: Should you interfere?

I dnt know...

Sometimes family and friends become partial to one party and actually mess things up.

My suggestion would be to get an impartial 3rd party so there is no chance of another issue coming up.

Re: Should you interfere?

There's a verse in the Quraan:

[4:35] If a couple fears separation, you shall appoint an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family; if they decide to reconcile, Allah will help them get together. Allah is Omniscient, Cognizant. *

So, yes. Absolutely someone should get involved.

Couldn’t agree with you more. :cheegum:

**Great advice. Ideally, marriage counseling but I’m not sure how well it works but definitely someone impartial should intervene. :cheegum:

Their egos are dictating their actions. Perhaps, there is something thats bothering both of them, aside from their marriage and unless they give each other a chance, its not going to work out.
