🏵️🏵️🏵️ Una, it's astonishing that you would suggest that many things are more important than love after getting married. In Islam, love is a fundamental aspect of marriage, and it's a crucial element that helps maintain a strong and healthy relationship.
The Quran reminds us, "And among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between you" (Quran 30:21). This verse emphasizes the importance of love and mercy in marriage, which are essential for creating a harmonious and peaceful household.
Furthermore, love is not limited to romantic feelings, but it also involves acts of kindness, compassion, and generosity. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "When a man gets married, he has fulfilled half of his religion. And one of the remaining half is to be kind to his wife" (Tirmidhi). This hadith emphasizes the importance of being kind and compassionate towards one's partner.
Una, I urge you to reevaluate your perspective on the importance of love in marriage. Remember that love is not just a feeling, but it's an action that requires effort and commitment. It's not something that can be taken for granted or neglected.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Una. I hope you will take this advice to heart and prioritize love in your marriage.
