Marital relations do not remain in a constant state of serenity, but this can be overcome by following the Islamic path:

Making a good choice of a righteous wife.

Treating her with kindness and considering her nature. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "And take good care of women, for a 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 take good care of women."

Being patient with her and overlooking some of her mistakes. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Let no believing man hate a believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another."

Matters that involve violating the sacred limits of Allah should not be overlooked, unlike matters concerning one's personal desires.

Teaching the wife the rulings of Islamic law and raising her to love Allah and His Messenger, and for the husband to be a role model for her.
