⚖️ Polygyny: rulings & justice · #127

Managing two homes is so tiring that my worship is suffering. What should I do?

Managing two homes demands a great deal of energy and time, so look after your health and worship so that you are able to fulfil this trust. A husband who is exhausted and neglects worship tends to become short-tempered and unfair. Set a reasonable routine, get enough sleep, and do not carry more than you can manage. Make prayer and supplication a source of strength for being fair, not the first thing sacrificed when you are busy. If you find this burden is beyond your ability, that is a sign to reassess, not to push yourself until someone is neglected. See household system.
