*Good companionship between spouses involves four things:*

1) Husn al-Khitab:

*Speaking in a good and polite manner.*

2) Husn al-Mazhar:

*Taking care of outward cleanliness and adornment.*

3) Al-Afw 'an al-Zallat:

*Overlooking and forgiving mistakes.*

4) Al-Leen fil-Mu'amalah:

*Gentleness in dealings.*

*May Allah Almighty grant the ability to act upon this.*

(Wasaya lil-Aroosayn by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Zahim: 14)
