Keys to a Successful Marital Life
What Allah the Most Exalted and the Most Mighty said concerning the meanings of love between spouses precedes what psychologists do say today. Psychologists emphasize the necessity of love in human life and the need for every human being to love and feel the love of someone else. They assert that this human need is the foundation of the rest of the mind for an individual.
But how can one sustain affection throughout the years of marriage? What makes some people happy in their marriages while others find marriage miserable? What is the real love that should prevail in every marital relationship? And what are the rights of the spouse on each other?
Dear reader, you would - by Allah's permission - find comprehensive answers in this book, compiled from a number of sources in order for us to quench the thirst of the thirsty about this issue. May Allah be our guide.

This is a review of a single person in preparation of his future marital life.
This book highlight the role of a wife and has not mentioned too much the presence of children in the family.
Overall, it's a good guide book on building a Muslim matrimony with all the values and teachings of Islam. The language used by the author is like a blessedly married sister advising her newly wed or bride to be sister. The intonation of guidance, with many marital situation used as example to send across the author's point.
However feminists might not take the liken of this book as it promotes voluntary tolerance in order to maintain the relationship in the long run. It could be a good or a bad point depending on how you see the matter.
Nonetheless, the book focused on the role of a wife in general and the life of a housewife in particular. I wish that the author would highlight more on a working wife or women with career which is becoming more and more common in our millennial age but not so common back then.
I would totally recommend this book as a light reading for the newly wed or bride to be.

What attracts me to this book is the cover of course and it is a light reading with only 166 pages. Bought this book from Dakwah Corner Publications.
Judging from the cover, this book is mainly focused on the wife responsibilities or role in marriage. Therefore the tips given are mainly for woman, however there are some chapters where the writer touch on the husband roles as well.
After 7 years re-reading this, some of the tips given I still practice until to date. Though I don't really remember where did I read or learn the tips before (haaa it's from this book 😆).
What I like about this book is the paper material, glossy and easy to use highlighter. Some of the tips given are also backup with relevant research and studies.
There is also some points that I think not really necessary or should I say vague.
Re-reading this after quite sometime does affect my opinion and personal views on the book.
It is very important to keep an open mind when reading this 🥰.
A good book for bride to be or those who are newlyweds. 3.5🌟 read.

January 3, 2021I read this book awhile ago but it took me so long to form a thought or even rate this book. Alas, I've decided not to rate it because I don't think I'm the right audience for this book. It was made for those who take the "no boyfriend before marriage" rule to heart (which every Muslims should, don't get me wrong especially now that I've been married for 9 years. I see the benefit of it and the uselessness of "love" that will not commit to each other for marriage). Unfortunately, that is not true to most Muslims who live on the eastern side of the world nowadays.
Side note: I find the writing style weird. Was hard to get into.

I loved the book and the wisdom that it had. But I would rename it as a guide to the wives since it focuses mainly on what the women have to do and offer in a marriage.
It doesn’t speak about the role of men in marriage. Neither does it have anything to offer to the men. Its more like a guide on how to be a good wife. Even though I do appreciate the tips in it, I expected more content in terms of the duties of men and children in building a successful family.

Choice of words is confusing. Example; Marital Harmonic Triangle, or 'you feel the opposite of you and then become angry. This is because he dislikes you'.
It is written perhaps as in conversation tone of sisters advising bride-to-be.
So, I read it to the last page anyway. The positive would be the fact that it allows us to understand psyche of sisters in marital life. The application might be different due to different social context here in our country.

Everyone with or without spouse should read this book. I am sure everything wrote in this book will help to improve you marriage to become stronger than ever. Basically it is more to wife part but husband can read it too because there is a small part touch about them. Happy reading!
