The answer

The answer advises supplication and earnest prayer to Allah to solve marital problems. It recommends easing one's own burden and avoiding excessive worry, and seeking tranquility through the remembrance of Allah. It also advises letting go of the past, avoiding comparisons, and focusing on improving the future by striving towards it, as well as seeking help from wise individuals to counsel the husband.

It clarifies that Istikhara (prayer for guidance) is a type of supplication and does not necessarily mean that what occurred was definitively Allah's choice. It does not preclude the right to seek divorce due to harm if coexistence becomes impossible, for Allah will enrich each of them from His bounty after separation.
