Allah Most High says:
“They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them.”
(Qur’an, 2:187)
Allah Most High compares the relationship between spouses to a garment that covers the body.
Just like a garment, spouses will cling to each other when cooperating in unison.
Just like a garment, spouses must beautify each other by consistently acting with good character.
Just like a garment, spouses need to be a protection for each other by fulfilling each person’s unique needs.
The way you treat each other will greatly impact the quality of your worldly life. In fact, happily married couples have longer lifespans and are less likely to have poor mental health – whereas the opposite is sadly true.
This is why it is extremely important to exert oneself to find the right spouse and learn how to manage a blissful marital relationship from the start.
