This advice attributed to Imam Ahmad to his son on his wedding day, which includes ten traits for lasting marital happiness, is a fabricated piece of advice whose attribution to Imam Ahmad or any other of the Salaf is incorrect. After research, it was found to belong to Sheikh Abd al-Latif Muhammad Sa'd Allah al-Barijawi. While there is nothing objectionable in the content of the advice, its attribution to Imam Ahmad is incorrect.
