  1. Financial Support

    should not be a miser with his money (nor wasteful).
  • He gets rewards for all what he spends on her sustenance even for a
    small piece of bread that he feeds her by his hand (hadeith).
  • He is strongly encouraged to give to her before she asks him.
  1. Smelling Good and Physical Beautification
  • Following the Sunnah in removing hair from the groin and underarms.
  • Always being clean and neat.
  • Put on perfume for her.
  1. Intercourse
  • It is obligatory to do it habitually if you have no excuse
    (sickness,etc.)
  • Start with “Bismillah” and the authentic du’a.
  • Enter into her in the proper place only (not the anus).
  • Begin with foreplay including words of love.
  • Continue until you have satisfied her desire.
  • Relax and joke around afterwards.
  • Avoid intercourse during the monthly period because it haram
  • Do what you can to avoid damaging her level of Hiyaa (shyness and
    modesty) such as taking your clothes together instead of asking her to do
    it first while he is looking on.
  • Avoid positions during intercourse that may harm her such as putting
    pressure on her chest and blocking her breath, especially if you are heavy.

  • Keep good relations with her family after her death if she dies first.
    Also in this case the husband is encouraged to follow the sunnah and keep
    giving what she used to give in her life to her friends and family.
  1. (Islamic) Training & Admonition

This includes

  • The basics of Islam
  • Her duties and rights
  • Reading and writing
  • Encouraging her to attend lessons and halaqahs
  • Islamic rules (ahkam) related to women
  • Buying Islamic books and tapes for the home library
  1. Admirable Jealousy
  • Ensure she is wearing proper hijab before leaving house.
  • Restrict free mixing with non-mahram men.
  • Avoiding excess jealousy. Examples of this are:
    1- Analyzing every word and sentence she says and overloading her speech
    by meanings that she did not mean
    2- Preventing her from going out of the house when the reasons are just.
    3- Preventing her from answering the phone.
    4- etc.
  1. Patience and Mildness
  • Problems are expected in every marriage so this is normal. What is
    wrong is excessive responses and magnifying problems until a marital
    breakdown.
  • Anger should be shown when she exceeds the boundaries of Allah SWT,by
    delaying prayers, backbiting, watching prohibited scenes on TV,etc..
  • Forgive the mistakes she does to you (See item 18).
  • How can you best correct her mistakes?
    1- First, implicit and explicit advice several times.
    2- Then by turning your back to her in bed (displaying your feelings).
    Note that this does not include leaving the bedroom to another room,
    leaving the house to another place, or not talking with her.
    3- The last solution is lightly hitting (when allowable) her. In this
    case, the hsuband should consider the following:
  • He should know that sunnah is to avoid beating as the Prophet
    PBUH never beat a woman or a servant.
  • He should do it only in extreme cases of disobedience, e.g. refusing
    intercourse without cause frequently, constantly not praying on time,
    leaving the house for long periods of time without permission nor refusing
    to tell him where she had been,
    etc..
  • It should not be done except after having turned from her bed and
    discussing the matter with her as mentioned in Qur’an .
  • He should not hit her hard injuring her, or hit her on her face or on
    sensitive parts of her body.
  • He should avoid shaming her such as by hitting her with a shoe, etc.
  1. Pardoning and Appropriate Censure
  • Accounting her only for larger mistakes.
  • Forgive mistakes done to him but account her for mistakes done in
    Allah’s rights, e.g. delaying prayers, etc..
  • Remember all the good she does whenever she makes a mistake.
  • Remember that all humans err so try to find excuses for her such as
    maybe she is tired, sad, having her monthly cycle or that her commitment
    to Islam is growing.
  • Avoid attacking her for the bad cooking of the food as the Prophet PBUH
    never blamed any of his wives for this. If he likes the food, he eats and
    if he doesn’t then he does not eat and does not comment.
  • Before declaring her to be in error, try other indirect approaches that
    are more subtle than direct accusations
  • Escape from using insults and words that may hurt her feelings.
  • When it becomes necessary to discuss a problem wait until you have
    privacy from others.
  • Waiting until the anger has subsided a bit can help to keep a control on
    your words.

Good Luck

forgive me, but this sounds like someone teaching their parrot how to talk.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

many things r nice n i wish every muslim man could read this...

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

:konfused:

i want my money back.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

Yaar to be honest....wife na hoyee koi bacha goodha le liya hai.....
o khuda ka naam lo bhai mere.... a wife is a human first come best friend come partner......

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

Nikka Kakka...

thanks for posting :)

perhaps you are looking too much into it...

this line simply means...if she doesnt understand explain to her until she does....basically be patient.

The Prophet (SAW) used to repeat things 3 times when explaining something not just to his wives but to anyone.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

Great. Simply great. So not feeling like having sex is disobedience and that she can be hit for that ofcourse after two warnings. Great.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

One of my wisest friends said something everytime he didn't understand something...He said, explain to me as you would to a 7 year old...

It takes a lot of wisdom to say that...

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

Very nice post…:lajawab:

It’s value can be gauged and appreciated by married Muslim men…

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

I don't agree with the conditions under which you can hit your wife.

  1. In a healthy marriage, there should be no reason why she should be avoiding sex all the time.

  2. Why doesn't the idea ever come up of ASKING her why she's not having sex with you, and then go from there. Ever think maybe the guy is just plain bad at it and needs to work on things?

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

it could be a possibility....but you have to also look at it the other way around to be fair...

what if the girl is not having sex....simply because she doesnt want to? (1 or 2 days ok...but what if months have gone by)......or because she has a low sex drive?

besides...the whole hitting thing is an absolute last resort. from my understanding....prophet (SAW) nvr hit his wives.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

A true man who loves his wife will work on his flaws to make his wife happy. Same goes for a woman.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

but there are some habits/flaws that one just cant change. That's when "take me as I am" comes into play.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

If a woman has a low sex drive, then do you think it could possibly be solved by some light hitting? There's other issues that could be in play, and the situation must be examined at an individual level. Why is there no recommendation to seek counseling, or medical help, or psychological help?

Again, the writer skips over these critical steps that should be taken to resolve such a situation, which is not all that uncommon. What is uncommon is the idea that a woman out there is just not sleeping with her husband to perpetually upset him. There's usually more to the story, and that interpretation just makes us women look bad and stupid mules who don't want to do their "duty" to men.

Add to that the fact that everyone has a different perception of a heathy sexual life. To one person, it might mean having sex a couple times a week, and to someone else it might mean twice a month. That's personal preference and needs to be discussed between the couple, and will be different for every couple. It makes it harder to implement any hitting rule, because at what frequency of sex do you set the threshold before you lift your hand?

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

Well...when I wrote that I was referring to the sex, but then realized it can be applied to most other aspects of a ersonality as well......

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

That is the most stupidiest thing i've ever heard that...if your wife refuses for sex a guy can hit her...... wouldnt that be considered a marital rape......
such hadeeths proves that its a work of some people who wanted fame in that time after prophet passed away.....
i wonder why all so called pure muslims loves to believe in hadeeths more than quran.....

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

how many muslims... desi's (in particular) do you know seek medical help for situations like this?....it is such a taboo to discuss such things ...unfortunately. So what is the man suppose to do? go have an extra-marital affair?

I am just looking at both sides....

i agree though...many men do think women arent sleeping with them just to spite them. Sometimes it may be true..other times there may be more to it. However if they are doing it to spite them....then the "toothbrush" comes in handy. Otherwise...extra-marital affair and/or a second wife it is...and this goes both ways.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

hitting is the last resort....and how is that rape? no where does it say....hit her then take her.

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

  1. Intercourse
  • It is obligatory to do it habitually if you have no excuse (sickness,etc.)

How much is habitually?

Re: Ways to Keep your wife Happy

Thank You :slight_smile:
