The answer

Family problems arise from the spouses' lack of understanding of personality differences. Neglecting one's wife or not involving her in life's affairs is not a sign of masculinity. Rather, masculinity necessitates treating one's family well and being patient with them. Allah Almighty commanded to treat women with kindness. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was the best role model in treating others well and showing affection: "The best of you is the best to his family, and I am the best of you to my family." A man must strive to honor his family and treat them well, listen to them, acknowledge the truth to those who deserve it, and avoid arrogance. "Arrogance is: rejecting the truth and looking down upon people."
