The answer

A wife must be grateful for the blessing of a righteous husband and overlook his shortcomings, for every human being makes mistakes. If the husband is generally upright, the wife should forgive and pardon his errors and avoid what displeases him, because his right is great, as stated in the Hadith: "Look at where you stand with him, for he is your paradise or your hell." She must repent to Allah if her husband goes to bed angry with her, and atone for that by being kind and affectionate towards him, for among the characteristics of the women of Paradise is being loving (al-wadud), striving to please her husband. The husband must inform his wife of what displeases him about her, and it is not permissible for him to abandon her without clarifying the reason. Seeking a divorce for this reason is not advisable; rather, patience and communication are recommended, bearing in mind that abandonment without cause permits the wife to seek divorce.
