The answer

The structure of married life is built upon affection and fondness. It requires patience and overlooking mistakes, and remembering the bright aspects. A believer should not hate a believing woman for her bad character, for a woman was created from a crooked rib, and her breakage is her divorce. Problems can be solved with gentleness and wisdom, for the hearts of the Companions softened towards the Messenger by his mercy. Indeed, with gentleness, one can achieve what cannot be achieved with harshness. The wife is advised to fear Allah, to live with her husband honorably, to be a good role model for her children, and that she can change her habits with patience and striving.
