What is the solution for a husband who does not find sexual satisfaction with his wife, while having two children, and fearing falling into sin, and out of consideration for his wife's feelings given that she is a foreigner in the country?

Sexual incompatibility may be due to the ignorance of one or both parties regarding the optimal method for sexual intercourse. It is recommended to consult the book "Tuhfat al-'Arus" (The Bride's Masterpiece). The questioner should avoid anything that arouses lust and commit to lowering their gaze. Allah the Almighty said: "Tell the believing men to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do." Regarding how to lower one's gaze, Al-Junayd said: "By your knowledge that the gaze of the One Who looks at you (Who is Allah, the Exalted) precedes your gaze at whom you look." It is recommended to keep one's wife to preserve her feelings and raise the children properly.
