Ridicule kills love, but praise builds loyalty. The Prophet ﷺ taught us: ‘The best of you are those best to their wives.’ Here’s how to apply it—starting today. Key Insights: 1️⃣ The Danger of Ridicule Hurts His Ego: Mocking his efforts (even playfully) makes him withdraw.
Islamic Principle: The Prophet ﷺ never humiliated others—especially not spouses.
2️⃣ The Sunnah of Praise Public Praise: At in-laws’ house? Say:
“Masha’Allah, he’s so helpful at home!”
“Alhamdulillah, he’s such a caring father.”
Private Encouragement: Even if he rarely helps:
“Jazak’Allah khair for washing the dishes—it meant so much!”
3️⃣ The Psychology Behind It Men Thrive on Respect: Just as women thrive on love and security.
Small Wins Matter: Praise any effort—it motivates him to do more.
