Does it please Allah for the wife to be ignorant of her husband's circumstances and for him to have other priorities besides the return of his family, and does the wife's contentment hold religious significance?

The answer

Fulfilling a promise is recommended by the majority of scholars. If the agreements were conditional stipulations made before marriage and do not contradict the essence of the contract, he is obligated to fulfill them. The cohabitation of spouses is better for family stability and chastity. A husband should not be absent from his wife for more than six months without a valid reason, except with her permission. Satisfying each other is required as much as possible, and not everything known should be said. Both spouses should work for the good of the family and avoid the corruption of Satan, who seeks to sow discord between them.
