8 important factors that can strengthen a marriage relationship in Islam: 1. Good Attitude A Muslim must always have a positive attitude toward life. We say, "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah) for whatever He gives us (or doesn’t give us). 2. Help Our Prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam stressed the importance of men helping their wives and Allah tells us the importance of women being mates and helpers to their husbands. This is a real "win-win" situation, if we just follow it. 3. Trust Muslims, men and women are ordered to be trustworthy and follow the example of our prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam as the "Trustworthy." 4. Respect You get respect, when you give respect. This is mandatory for all Muslims toward all people, how much more toward the spouse? 5. Joy Our prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam used to entertain his wife Aisyah radiallahu anha and she used to play and race with him. She said, "I used to out-run him, but then when I got heavy he used to outrun me." He told us to play with our wives and have some fun. 6. Forgiveness Clearly, this is one of the most important aspects of Islam. Whoever does not forgive – will not be forgiven. This comes from Allah, Himself. We must learn to forgive each others for a good relationship. 7. Time Spend time together. Go for walks. Take a bus ride. Visit a friend or someone who is ill (you get big rewards for that). Fast together on Mondays and Thursdays if you can. Make hajj – this is a great way to get a "new start" on life. 8. Worship Our prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam used to lead his wife in salah, even though he lived connected to the mosque. He told us not to make our homes like grave yards. We should offer some of our sunnah prayers at home. `etha`
