💚 Women whose husbands aren't the romantic nor expressive types should look deeper into the quiet gestures of love their husbands make from time to time, instead of doubting their marriage life. Love doesn't have to be shown in your husband standing in the midst of a traffic jam yelling out to the world that he loves his wife, but love can be subtly recognized when you're in the car quietly sitting, holding each other's hands, emitting relaxing vibes like you can read the other's mind, satisfied to confirm that your love is mutual and it can't be denied. Your husband may not be the kind who regularly tells you he loves you directly, but indirectly his love is shown when he softly smiles whenever you massage him frequently, when he lets you play with his hair or lay beside him, and when you cuddle in bed like he's your gigantic pillow that doesn't need to talk much since your tight hugs already speak an endless volume of words that narrate a charming love story between you and your spouse. Love doesn't have to be loud, but it's a talkative companion every time your lips dance to mention your husband's name in your daily supplications, particularly late at night when you pray Qiyam Al-Layl Tahajjud.
When you wholeheartedly love your significant other for Allah's sake, you'll always find a way with Allah's Will to appreciate them. When some of your husband's actions are too complex to decipher, you still have hope that you'll find all the answers in Jannah Paradise where you can discover the exact reasons why Allah the Most Wise destined you and your man to be together. In the meantime, submit to Allah's Qadr/Destiny as you lovingly enjoy the loud silent moments between you and your husband, rewarding your soul with more blessings through beautiful patience.

Ali Al-Qari said, "That she prostrates to her husband is due to the number of his rights over her and her difficulty in maintaining gratitude for them. This rhetorical point conveys the obligation of the wife to obey her husband in his rights. Indeed, prostration is not lawful to anyone other than Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala."

📖 Abdullah Ibn Umar RadhiAllahu 'anhuma narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband's home and his children, and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it. No doubt, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock."
