It is advisable to be patient and fear Allah, and to exert effort in seeking treatment for the husband's erectile dysfunction, as it is a treatable condition and its causes may be psychological. The wife should review her own conduct regarding her adornment and efforts to please her husband, and be open with him about what she is experiencing. It is also recommended to fill free time with beneficial activities, avoid stimulants, and frequently supplicate for the righteousness of the husband.
