How can I be a reason for my spouse to grow closer to Allah, and not the opposite?

The best spouse helps their companion towards Paradise through gentle example, not wearisome pressure. Improve yourself first, because good character invites more than a thousand reprimands. Make worship easier for your spouse: give them room to pray, encourage them to seek knowledge, and join in shared worship such as reading the Qur'an. Praise every good step they take, and do not bring up their old weaknesses. Pray quietly for their guidance and steadfastness. Avoid becoming the reason they abandon good deeds because of how badly you treat them. A home whose members lift one another towards Allah is the most blessed home. See wives' course.
