► 2. One should not hate his believer wife. If he dislikes some of her attitudes, he would surely like others attitudes. [Muslim]

► 3. Woman was created from a bent rib and will not be made straight for you on one way that you like. If you want to enjoy her, you enjoy her while she is still bent. If you want to straighten her up, you will break her. Breaking her is divorcing her. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

► 4. Do volunteer fasting some days and do not fast in other days, pray at night some nights and sleep in other nights. Your body has a right on you to rest, your eye has a right on you to sleep, and your wife has a right on you. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
