What is the solution for a married 27-year-old man who suffers from a lack of desire and affection towards his wife, as well as a lack of sexual desire towards her, and frequent problems between them?
The husband is advised to be patient and deliberate, and not to rush into separating from his wife. He should try to resolve the problems and supplicate to Allah for the improvement of the situation and the reconciliation of hearts. He should remember the Almighty's saying: "And live with them honorably. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it much good," and His saying: "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you..."
However, if the problems persist and escalate, and all attempts at reconciliation reach a dead end, then he should release her with kindness, as the Almighty said: "Retention with honor or release with kindness."
