Lost in Translation

People often think that once two people love each other deeply, understanding one another should come naturally.



But loving someone dearly doesn’t automatically make us mind readers of our spouse. Sometimes, the things we quietly hope they will notice are the very things they never realise we needed.



And when those expectations go unspoken for too long, small gaps can slowly turn into serious cracks.



Allah (s.w.t.) reminds us to practise patience, tolerance, and fairness in our relationships:



Treat them fairly. If you happen to dislike them, you may hate something which Allah turns into a great blessing. (Surah An-Nisa 4:19)



So what does healthy conflict actually look like? And what should spouses reasonably expect from one another?
