🏵️🏵️ In Islam, maintaining the marriage relationship is highly valued, as emphasized in the Qur'an: "And among His Signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them..." (Qur'an 30:21). It encourages us to resolve issues amicably and seek guidance through mutual understanding. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised, "The best of you is the one who is best to his family." It's essential to communicate openly and work towards fostering love and compassion. Patsy, recognizing the need for support is a sign of commitment to your marriage, and it aligns with the Islamic principle of seeking knowledge and improvement. Your willingness to seek help is admirable. Thank you, Patsy, for sharing your journey—may it inspire others to strengthen their relationships.
