Many couples feel their love grows weaker after marriage. This is not one big problem, but many small things together. Two of these things are very important.

*First: Not Talking Well*

After marriage, sometimes we stop talking clearly. We think our husband or wife should just know what we feel or need. This causes big problems.

When two people are not "on the same page," it is like two people pulling a cart in different directions. The cart does not move. You waste energy. You feel stuck. Some couples become like unhappy roommates. Others fight all the time. Some give up.

My People,

To make love strong, you must talk with wisdom. You must listen. You must try to understand each other. You must be on the same team.

*Second: Making Poor Choices*

This is hard to say. Sometimes, one person keeps making poor choices. The other person tries hard to hold the family together. This causes great stress and can break the marriage.

Poor choices are things like: flirting with someone else, lying, hiding money, keeping bad friends, or bad habits. These choices break trust. Trust is like glass. When it breaks, it is very hard to fix perfectly again.

Remember, in marriage, a poor choice by one person hurts both people. It is never just "his problem" or "her problem." It is "our problem."

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us a deep truth:

"You do not have complete faith until you want for your brother what you want for yourself." 📚 [Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim]

Your spouse is your closest brother or sister in life. Do you want happiness for them like you want for yourself?

Now

What Can We Do?

Love is like a plant. It needs care every day.

(1) Talk and Listen. Make time to talk with kind words. Listen to understand, not to argue.

(2) Be a Team. Remember, you are on the same side. Face problems together, not against each other.

(3) Choose Wisely. Before you do something, ask: "Will this hurt my spouse? Will this break our trust?" If a bad habit has started, get help together before it grows.

(4) Think of "Us". Stop thinking only "what I want." Start thinking "what is best for us?"

Marriage is a journey. The road can get rough. Do not walk alone. Do not pull apart. Talk, walk, and choose together. This is how you protect your love and keep it from growing weak.

Your marriage can be strong again. It starts with both of you, choosing each other, today.
