Spouses must treat each other with kindness. The wife must obey her husband in what is good, show him respect, and not raise her voice at him. The husband must be a good companion to his wife, overlook her shortcomings, and deal with her with wisdom and gentleness, considering the nature of women as Allah created them. As narrated in the Hadith: "And treat women kindly, for woman was created from a rib, and the most crooked part of the rib is its upper part. If you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked. So, treat women kindly." And His saying: "Live with her amicably, and you will live with her."
