The wife is advised to be patient with her husband and to live with him in kindness, striving to advise him by explaining the danger of neglecting prayer, the corrupting effects of mixing with women (unlawfully), and watching forbidden films. It is permissible to go out for recreation as long as it does not involve nudity or corruption. The wife should help her husband abandon bad companions and associate with righteous people, encourage him to listen to lessons and sermons, and cooperate with him in obedience.
