Is a wife entitled to demand her husband’s emotional care and consideration, especially after he lost his father and became preoccupied with his daughter and family, given her feelings of neglect and coldness, and her desire for their affection and love to return?
Spouses must live together honorably and fulfill their rightful duties. It is the wife's right to have a separate dwelling, which is considered a part of the home, distinct with its own facilities and private lock. The wife is not permitted to refuse to move with her husband if he provides her with suitable accommodation. It is not obligatory for the husband to sleep in the wife's bed if he has fulfilled her rights, but it is preferable for him to sleep with her unless he has an excuse. Among the good manners of a wife is to treat her husband's family well and to assist him in honoring his parents and maintaining ties of kinship. The husband must combine honoring his parents with treating his wife well. It is the wife's right that her husband not abandon her without a valid reason and that he keeps her chaste to the best of his ability. Achieving affection and understanding between spouses requires patience, overlooking mistakes, and focusing on the good aspects.
