The answer

It is valid to say "they are your Heaven and your Hell" in reference to parents or a spouse. It has been reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to the Companion who asked him about the rights of parents: "They are your Heaven and your Hell," and he said to the aunt of Husayn ibn Muhsan when she asked him about her treatment of her husband: "Indeed, he is your Heaven and your Hell." The meaning is that obedience to them is a cause for entering Paradise, and disobedience to them is a cause for entering Hellfire.
