A successful marriage is not only about finding the right person, it is about building a strong foundation of faith, respect and understanding together. Here are five simple tips to help you build a happy and lasting marriage.
- Keep Allah at the centre. Make your relationship stronger with faith and dua. Pray together whenever you can.
- Communicate openly. Be honest and share your thoughts and feelings kindly, before small issues grow.
- Respect each other. Value each other's opinions, families and differences.
- Build together. Support each other's goals, in deen and in dunya.
- Be patient and forgiving. Every marriage has hard days. Sabr and forgiveness keep the love alive.
Marriage is half of our deen. With sincerity, effort and dua, it becomes a source of peace (sukoon) for both partners.
