The question

How can a woman deal with her husband who is characterized by stinginess, a gloomy face, and a lack of hospitality, despite being kind and observant of prayer? And does this affect their marital life and the implication of the noble verse: "Good women are for good men, and bad women are for bad men"?

The answer

Your husband is among the good people, so do not let delusions that he is malicious control you. What you mentioned about stinginess, not giving charity, not honoring guests, and a frowning face are blameworthy traits, but they do not mean that their possessor is malicious. A believer can be a coward or a miser. He may also give charity secretly. He can be advised wisely to acquire good traits and morals, for these can be learned.
