Ways to Achieve Lasting Love
Ten ways to achieve lasting
love:
Since marital
love is prone to sickness and even death, it is imperative for couples to
constantly work to revitalize and preserve it.
Husbands and wives must do the following:
1. They have to get in the habit of saying things that are positive, like
offering compliments and like making little prayers for each other.
A husband could say to his wife: “If I were sent back to the days of my youth, I
would not choose for a wife anyone besides you.” Of course, the wife can easily
say something similar to her husband.
Affectionate words have an effect, especially on women. They have, indeed, often
been the weapons used by unscrupulous men to gain access to what is not theirs.
Sweet words arouse a woman’s heart. A husband should take care to say them to
his wife before someone else does.
2. Husbands and wives have to get into the habit of doing those little things
that mean so much. If a man comes home to find his wife asleep, he can cover her
and tuck her into bed.
A husband can give his wife a call from work just to say hello and to let her
know that he is thinking about her.
If a wife finds that her husband has fallen asleep, she can give him a little
kiss on the forehead, even if she thinks that he will not be aware of it.
Indeed, on some level his senses are working even though he is asleep and he may
very well be aware of it.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasized the value of these little things,
“…even the morsel of food that you place in your wife’s mouth…” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî
and Sahîh Muslim]
It may very well be that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was alluding to the
expenditure of a man for his wife’s needs. Nonetheless, the Prophet (peace be
upon him) chose to express it in the way he did for a reason. Most importantly,
this is the way the Prophet peace be upon him) conducted himself with his
family.
This type of behavior is governed by the tastes of the people involved. It may
take some getting used to, but it really does not take a lot of effort.
A person who is not accustomed to such things may feel embarrassed just hearing
about them and may prefer to leave matters the way they are rather than try to
change his behavior and do things that he might see as ridiculous.
Still, we must be willing introduce new habits into our lives if we do not want
our problems to go on forever.
3. The husband and wife must set aside time to talk to each other. They should
talk about the past; reminisce about the good times. Talking about them keeps
them fresh in our minds as if they had happened only yesterday. They should talk
about the future and share their hopes and their plans. They should also talk
about the present, both the good and bad of it, and discuss different ways to
solve their problems.
4. Keeping close physical contact is good for the relationship. This is not just
for times of intimacy, but at all times, like when sitting in the lounge or
walking down the street. This is regardless of the fact that there are still men
in our society who are ashamed to have people see them walking in public with
their wives at their sides.
5. Emotional support should be guaranteed whenever it is required. When the wife
is pregnant or on her monthly period, she may need her husband to lend her a
little moral support. He should take her mental state into consideration.
Medical experts attest to the fact that when women go through pregnancy,
menstruation, or postpartum bleeding, they suffer from psychological stress that
can aversely affect their behavior. It is at times like these that a woman needs
her husband’s support. She needs him to let her know how much she means to him
and how much he needs her in his life.
Likewise, the husband might fall ill or come under a lot of difficulties. The
wife must take these things into consideration. If people want their
relationship to last, they must let each other feel that support.
6. There have to be some material expressions of love. Gifts should be given,
sometimes without there being any occasion for it, since a pleasant surprise is
always welcome. A good gift is one that expresses feelings of affection. It does
not have to be expensive, but it has to be appropriate for the other’s tastes
and personality; something that will be cherished.
7. The husband and wife have to learn how to be more tolerant of each other and
overlook one another’s shortcomings. It should become a habit to forget about
the little mistakes of daily life and not even bring them up. Silence in these
trivialities is a sign of noble character.
A woman said to `Â’ishah: “When my husband comes home, he becomes like a cat.
When he goes out, he becomes like a lion. He does not ask about what might have
happened.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]
Ibn Hajar explains her words as follows:
They might mean that he is very generous and tolerant. He does not make a big
fuss about what goes missing of his wealth. If he brings something for the
house, he does not enquire about it later on. He does not make an issue of the
shortcomings that he might see at home but instead is clement and tolerant.
It is wrong to go overboard in considering the faults of others but when it
comes to ourselves, keep a running account of all our good qualities.
There is a tradition that goes: “One of you sees the dust in his brother’s eyes
and forgets about the dirt in his own.”
8. A husband and wife must come to an understanding when it comes to matters of
mutual concern, like the raising of children, work, travel, expenses, and
problems that might pose a threat to the marital relationship.
9. Husbands and wives need to do things to liven up their relationship. Each one
of them can read a book or listen to a cassette that might give them some ideas
on how they can revitalize their marital life and bring more meaning to it. They
can vary their habits when it comes to relaxing together, dining, taking
refreshments, decorating their home, and in relating to each other both openly
and intimately. These are the things that keep up the excitement and interest in
a relationship.
10. The relationship must be protected from negative influences that can harm
it. One of the worst of these is the habit of comparing one’s spouse to others.
Many men tend to compare their wives to those of other men. Some even compare
them with the faces they see in magazines and on television. Women also compare
their husbands with other women’s husbands in things like wealth, looks, and how
many times he takes her out. All of this makes people feel bad and insufficient
and it can ruin the marital relationship.
