🕌 Worship in the home · #87

How can silent prayer for my spouse change the way I treat them every day?

Praying for good for your spouse softens your own heart towards them, not just asks something on their behalf. It is hard to stay angry with someone you sincerely pray for. Make a habit of mentioning your spouse in your daily supplications, asking Allah to improve them and you, and to unite your two hearts. Pray for them especially when they hurt you, because that is when the heart most needs softening. Praying for your spouse without their knowledge is among the most sincere of prayers. Spouses who pray for each other build a home on mercy, not mere tolerance. See du'a & prayer.
