The answer

The presence of love and harmony between spouses requires patience, overlooking faults, and focusing on the good aspects of the other's character. It is not a prerequisite for the stability of marital life. Marrying more than one woman is permissible, provided there is justice. As for masturbation, it is wrong and an injustice to the wife and her right to chastity. One must repent from it, treat the wife kindly, draw closer to Allah, and lower the gaze, as it is one of the most important reasons for a husband's contentment with his wife.
