Regarding the maintenance of relationships
between a husband and wife, the Qur’an says, “Live with them in accordance with
what is fair and kind; if you dislike them, it may be that you dislike
something in which God has placed much good.”
This principle applies to both the husband
and the wife. It means that a good family life does not depend on having found
a partner of one’s exact choice. According to the law of nature, this is not
possible. The secret of a successful family life, rather, lies in adjusting to
one another, and in discovering something good even in what seems bad.
Human beings, generally, face a common
problem. They all think that they should get more than what they have. Thus,
discontented, they spend their lives searching for an ideal partner who can
live up to their imagination. And in this quest for the ideal, they live
unhappy lives.
Happiness is a state of mind. It does not
exist outside of it. One should learn this principle, and only then will one
see things in a different manner. Only you can make yourself happy. No one can
gift happiness to you.

ReplyDeleteVery true. Happiness lies inside you. People who go in search of happiness outside end up being unhappy. We have to adjust and compromise with our life partners. (Husband/wife). We have to try to understand each other deeply. There may be lot of difference of opinions, we have to iron them out and work every minute to make the bond stronger. Both the partners will be working for the betterment of the family. Having a right attitude for the partner make our lives a heaven.
