The questioner is advised to be patient, supplicate, and treat her husband kindly with good manners and gentle words. She should gently remind him of her need for his smile and affection. The husband is advised to fear Allah, treat his wife well, respect her, and consider her feelings, for honoring women is a sign of nobility. If the husband's situation does not change after her admonition, then she has the right to seek a divorce.
