Are there any proofs from the Prophetic Sunnah that confirm the importance of a wife's emotional expression to her husband?
The exchange of affectionate words between spouses is Islamically desirable, as it strengthens the marital relationship and increases familiarity and love. Allah Almighty described the women of Paradise as "Aruban Atraban" (loving and of equal age), and "Arub" is she who endears herself to her husband with her beautiful words and charm. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, also described a righteous wife as one "who, when he looks at her, she pleases him." Therefore, it is desirable for a wife to address her husband with affectionate words that stir feelings of love and affection.
