The answer

Marriage is a source of tranquility, affection, and mercy. People vary in culture and understanding. A wife who is more educated should be patient and wise in dealing with her husband and children. The wife can address her husband's stinginess and love for money by advising him to read books and listen to materials related to generosity and condemning miserliness, and reminding him of his obligation to provide for his family. She can also advise him to stop backbiting and ridiculing people, reminding him of the Islamic ruling on such matters. Some problems can also be overcome by encouraging the husband to love sacred knowledge and providing him with the means to pursue it.
