Advice for a demanding and quarrelsome wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have a wife who is very demanding. He says: I have a wife who is very demanding, and she does not thank me or obey me in most matters. In fact, she quarrels with me about what I want. She is very abusive. His question or request is: Is there any advice for her and those like her, so that perhaps she will return from what she is doing?

Answer:
Yes, each of the spouses is advised to be good in their treatment of the other
the Last Day, and they enjoin what is rightالْآخِرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
[Ali 'Imran 3:114]
. So each of the spouses does what is required of him for the other and does not complain about the other’s right over him, but rather he fulfills his right with ease and generosity of spirit, because it is an obligatory right upon him. So we advise this woman to fear Allah, to be good to her husband, and to give him the right that Allah has made obligatory for him over her. Yes.
